...that Republicans continue to accuse illegal immigrants, mostly starving Mexicans, Guatemalans and Salvadorenians, of "terrorism"? -Oscar Galvan Lopez, Avondale, Ariz.I don't know that I've ever heard that kind of accusation. I have certainly never said that illegal immigrants from Mexico are in away way suspects of terrorist activities. But security at the border is a national security issue. It has nothing to do with trying to stop a particular ethnic group. It has everything to do with trying to control the flow of people into your country...

In the first 11 days the jury (as well as the critics) sees the movies in competition for the Palme d'Or; and on the 12th evening, it announces the winners.

The happy news is twofold: The Orphanage quite lives up to its billing; and it's been bought for U.S. release...
...Rueda, who lost nearly 20 lbs. during the shoot, gives her all to portraying Laura, and some may think it's too much; her intensity practically snaps at the camera as if to bite it off. But this strong, handsome woman (seen with Javier Bardem in the Oscar-nominated The Sea Inside three years back) has the will and daring to turn the audience into believers...
