Agendas run abound on these boards. My personal agenda is to freeze the borders until immigration is reformed. As it stands legal immigrants cost this country more than illegals in "services" rendered. They take more than they put in. Why is this? Because INS continues to allow immigrants into this country who can offer no production to society. Why is it asians fare far better than any other class of citizens who come to our shores? Because they dont advocate the victim mentality. they put themselves through school and assimilate to our culture. They aspire to become doctors, lawyers, and the like. They put in more than they receive.

I don't think that you are a racist, but you are going down a very dangerous line of reasoning here. This logic has been preverted in the past.

True, hispanic immigrants tend to come from poorer educational backgrounds, but the ones I have known have been hard workers who are trying to provide for their children. Many second generation hispanics have assimilated nicely. The ones that haven't are the same as other innner city ethnic groups. Again, the problem is government enabling, not ethnicity.
