They dont want the lowest majority to be educated or have money and opportunity.
That's so true!

Well they can offer you *companionship* to make your Conzumel vacation a little more interesting. I'm getting old so these getaway packages are starting to become appealing to me

Anyone who wants to welcome these people with open arms needs to walk around the parking lot of a mall in McAllen.

Lol, it is not just the wealthiest mexicans that go to school. Perhaps that is the case in isolated rural areas but even there i saw plenty of non-rich kids riding the bus from their villages to schools in the next larger town. Go to any urban area of Mexico, rich or poor, and you see kids going to and from school, in their school uniforms.

McAllen is America. Yes, it is on the border of two countries and as is the case in ANY border area in ANY country, there is fusion of people. Do you think there werent brown skin people or Spanish speakers there until recently or something?

People need to accept that Texas itself is heavily Hispanic and it has always had a heavy Hispanic influence. After all, what the hell is all that different between n. Mexico and texas? We both have heavy German and Spanish influence, we both wear jeans and cowboy hats and boots and have similar cuisines and our traditional music is almost identical.

Personally, I love Mexico...cities like Guadalajara and Mexico City are great and i would love it if Houston could be more like them. McAllen is not like Mexico, it is like a Texas border town.
