It's bad in Texas but it is spreading. Here in Alabama there are many one bedroom apartments that have a dozen or more illegals living in them sending all their money home. We used to only have the migrant farm workers. But I think now there is a Mexican restaurant on every corner (at least these are contributing). You can't go to a McDonalds, Burger King, or other fast food place unless you speak fluent Spanish.

Here in NC as well...our beautiful mountains are starting to look like a poor mexican town with all the run down homes and shops they set up.

Looks like our Goverment is gonna wait till we can't take it any more and do something ourselfs!

Hey Mr President......My children are American!! we don't want to live in Mexico and speak Spanish......Peotect us and enforce our laws or we'll keep electing till we get someone who will!! Show a little muscle here on our own shores!

Yes there are a lot of Hispanics in Al & Ga.Are they all illegal? No. They are honest hard working people.Many are buying homes and starting buisnesses.When the economy turns back up most of the places they work will be begging for workers.You could not build a house or plant a ball field in Atlanta without Hispanics.They are the only ones willing to work 12hrs a day in the sun.

Here in Alabama there are

Wow. Alabama, huh? That's hard to believe. I believe you, I am just saying that is hard to believe.

Spreading?? Bad in Texas?

I live in Minnesota, and when I got a resturant job as a senior in high school, nearly every one of the kitchen workers was Mexican except for the head cook. That was 10 years ago. In Minnesota, Mexicans have been flooding the fast-food industry for so long that they have moved into management. The local Wendy's and Taco Bell, Boston Market, and Burger King all have Latino managers.

It still isn't hard for a teenager to find a job however. My personal take on why it's hard to find a suburban American teen at McDonald's these days: kids don't want to go to work with several people with whom it's difficult to communicate, are non-peers, and have a different agenda in life. Suburban teens and semi-immigrant Mexican workers have little in common. Teens want to work where it's popular and friendly to work, and where they will be in contact with people who understand them and their culture. Popular places for teens to work now? (I volunteer with high-schoolers at my church) Places such as D'Amico and Sons, Caribou, Starbucks, or any other coffee shop, the local 9-hole course or golf dome, Circuit City, etc....places where they will talk to, help, and work with others of their own kind. I don't neccessarily condone this mild form of xeno-centrism, but I certainly understand it. I would want to work with my friends too.

How do you know this?

"You can't go to a McDonalds, Burger King, or other fast food place unless you speak fluent Spanish."

Do you write or call those companies and complain? If not you certainly should. If everyone who felt the same way about illegal immigrants invading our land would open their mouths and SCREAM everytime they had to put up with this nonsense maybe more companies would take notice.

I grew up in Alabama, and still visit on occasion. I was shocked when driving thru Hoover (suburb of Birmingham) at all of the Mexican restaurants. Most have Spanish language text on the signs other than the restaurant name....meaning it markets towards spanish-as-a-primary-language types.

Then, driving by the intersection of Lorna and Patton Chapel, you see dozens of Mexicans waiting for landscaping contractors, movers, construction contractors to swing by and hire them for the day. I'm sure there are other pick-up points, too.

My area (northwest Florida) is going through a condo and house building boom. The majority of construction workers I see are Mexican, too. These should be good paying jobs for american workers. While I can't swear that they aren't US citizens....I think we all know what is happening.

I don't blame the Mexican workers - they are working their butts off, doing a great job for very low wages. ...If I were in their shoes, I'd probably do the same thing. But it is our elected leader's job to secure the borders and protect jobs for American workers who will turn around and spend the money here in the USA.

Same in OK and AR.

No state is isolated from this government approved attack on our country, unless one goes to some isolated hideout in the middle of now where, and most people can't do that and survive.

I and others said years ago, that this epic invasion of our borders would become the most threatening, dangerous issue facing this country. It is now a reality.

It's not Mexifornia, it's MEXIMERICA!
