Now I understand immigrants is what made this country. But, theres way tooo many Mexicans here. If, there immigration and birth rates continue at this pace, we would basically be living in an extension of Mexico, the US would be 3rd world. Im not trying to be rude or racist, just shedding light on reality. What do you guys think about this topic?

Wow, you're so enlightened.

I'm really sick and tired of Romanians. They ruin everything and are secretly taking over the world. They just make me so angry! Damn those Romanians!

I do think America is at a point of overcrowding where it should re-consider its immigration and birth control policies and beliefs, but I have my doubts that Mexico will take over the USA anytime soon. Yes, there's the grudge from the war in the mid 1800s, and the current "drug war", but I think the fear of a takeover is pretty far-fetched. There simply isn't an endless "supply" of people in Mexico for one thing. Mexico is only a third of the size of the United States in population. Even the hardcore "La Raza" types may lose steam a couple generations in and find they like it here. It will probably turn out no different than Irish or Italian "invasions" of the 1800s, but I could be wrong. The roots of North America are well established. It's more likely that they assimilate than Spanish becoming the official language.

Mexico is just taking California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Nevada, and Colorado back nonviolently.

I'm not American, but since Europe face also imigration phenomenas I'll give my opinion.

Immigration is dangerous for the identity of a country only if those immigrants and their descendants do not assimilate but rather form a "parrallel society" in cimpetition with mainstream culture.

As long as, within one or two generations those Mexican imigrants become culturally Americans there is no reason to fear it, excepted for racist people. What every coountry that recieve imigration is to assure that the people integrate well into the existing population and culture. If the assimilation doesn't work well it can create racist reactions, which could be avoided.
