Vincente Fox, needs to get rid of some of his riff-raff.

Wrong! Havent you ever noticed that immmigrants are almost always more enterprising and hardworking than native born Americans who feel they have a God given right to a paycheck.

When you exclude the college educated in Mexico, those that can make the trek across the border, setup a new household in a strange land, find a job or several jobs and navigate in a world where their understanding of English is limited, tend to be more energetic, enterprising, and bright. They want to make something of themselves and its their responsibiilty to help support the family they left behind. They are motivated.

Ever wonder why it is that the Korean and Vietnamese immigrants own the shops that the blacks in LA tried to burn down while the inner city blacks are on the dole?

In the South and out West, you're probably right. But we don't experience any of those in the Northeast ;-).

I just question the complete opening of the border to any and all. I think those that truly want to come to this country to work and start businesses are either already in the system or would probably go through the steps that are in place to come in legally.

As far as native born Americans, you are absolutely correct. We have to hire a lot of Peruvian immigrants to fill some of our jobs that are deemed to be "beneath" the Americans.

So, is that why most criminals in LA's jails are Mexican? Maybe that is why most people on welfare in the southwest are mexican illegals? Maybe that is why many have children in the US to get welfare? Is that why many get us immigration so their parents can get SSI without having lived here and paid for it? Maybe that is why 3 of 5 students in Denver are Mexicans who don't speak English, because they love America so well? Is that why Mexicans and people who wants all of them over here have believe Amerca is nothing more than a paycheck?

I haven't noticed that. There are some immigrants who we probably need, who are setting up good businesses that pay good wages and benefits. Many legal immigrants are no better-no worse than native born Americans. Many illegals are not enterprising at all, they have no education, no job skills, no language skills. Hispanics have a 40% illegitimacy rate and 40% high school drop out rate, obviously many are great hard working conservative people, but the numbers certainly show many are not.

I don't know where you live, but the above line of propaganda is totally, false.They are bankrupting the State of California. The city next to mine was 20%mexican 15 years ago.It is now 75%,and growing. The welfare lines are 2 lanes around the block, and the murder rate is up 155% in 10 years,while it went way doiwn everywhere else.
Want to buy my house?? Well,neither does anyone else.
