Yea dude, that's exactly what I meant.

Now y'all are about to get me in trouble for being off topic.
Ok that's fine and all. But it is now. Miami, I believe, use to be a black and white city as well. It along with Houston are no longer that type of city anymore and they will never be those type of cities ever again. 2 million Latino's is 2 million Latino's.

Moderator cut: rude Nothing ever remains the same I don't know if people realize that. If you don't like it build your own government and become sovereign in this nation. Maybe find some land far away from the Mexican border and move up there. The main problem isn't the illegal immigrants. It's the Government and the politics of both United States and Mexico. You know if this government wasn't so corrupt and exploiting other country resources maybe so many Mexicans wouldn't flee to this country. And most people do it the legal way because there home countries are far far awayyyyyy. If you're country is right next door to the land you feel like is full of opportunity why wouldn't you hop and skip over to make a better a life for you're children? Trust me if Ireland, Germany,France,China,India,Nigeria, Ethiopia were located right where Mexico is you would see the same thing. That's if you include the climate of Mexico you would see the same scenario. Who knows in 50 years Americans will be trying to cross neighboring borders if this country doesn't get worst.

And last I checked Mexicans use to control Texas. And when they controlled and as more white Americans moved into Texas they outlawed slavery as well. And one of the events that triggered the battle at the Alamo was slavery. Because the white settlers still believed in enslaving Africans in Texas when it was illegal. And they didn't want to follow the rules of the mexicans. Because all they wanted to do was have some slaves. Nothing wrong with that ? America has always done things illegally or immorally when it came to annexing lands. The Louisiana purchase, Alaska , Western territories. God forbid if the tables are turned in this day and age.

Al Green stated historically Houston use to be a black and white city. Historically Blacks would get killed for reckless eyeballing a white woman in the city of Houston. Is that what you want? You like those good ol day's when it was common to see colored on businesses in the city of Houston?

You gotta stop trying to be the forum police. You see people aren't listening to you. Let them speak their mind. People will let up eventually, but it's a good topic.
