It looks like another major controversy has come to an end as an LA area television station will change 75 billboards which read "Los Angeles, CA Mexico."

Granted, I don't live in area with much ethnic tension, and that may effect how one views this kind of thing, but I really don't get what compels some people to make a big fuss about this kind of thing. It's not disparaging to anyone. But there's this:

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, said the change was a small victory in the larger battle of enforcing the nation's immigration laws and securing its borders.

"Those signs offended people across the country for two sensitive reasons. There's documentation that some large corporations are contributing to our illegal immigration problem and secondly, a large number of illegal aliens and their political activists don't respect or acknowledge America's territorial jurisdiction over the area and have repeatedly said, 'It's our land and we are taking it back.'"
