God help us if thats the new sense of morality.
lmao, you think that the people flooding in illegally for the last 30 years were all running from cartels? ha ha ha ha ha. I think that might just be a stretch.

Mexican Drug War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

30 years may be a stretch but it isn't as recent as you think. Just because the media doesn't spoonfeed it to you doesn't mean it isn't going on.

This should surprise no one. It just makes me angry that so many Latino citizens put their own ethnic group above the rule of law.

No, it means not rewarding these illegal parent's kids for their parent's lawbreaking. Most of these illegals aren't here escaping violence. They are here for economic gain. God help us if disregarding laws is the new sense of morality.

Got a link to this research you are talking about?
Still spreading the lie that these groups or any other anti-illegal immigrationists are anti-"immigrant"? Find a new line this one isn't working and lends zero credibility to your side.

Oh, I see. It's because you say so? Come on, how about out of control breeding.
In Mexico alone, the population has grown from 13.6 million in 1900 to 111 million in 2010.

They are not lies, it is a well known fact that these groups were all started and still chaired by Racist John Tanton.

If you're 18 or over you're not a child. You're certainly not entitled to jump the immigration waiting line because your parents broke our immigration laws. You most certainly should not have the right to sponsor your law breaking parents for American citizenship. Things would suck less in Mexico if Mexicans actually fought against the problems in their society. Instead they come here, violate our immigration laws and demand things from us.

More than a billion people in the world live on less than $1.25 a day. Can they come here as well? Americans have let in over one tenth of Mexico's population. How many millions more should we let in? Especially in the face of the greatest recession in several generations? If we can't find jobs for our own people why are somehow obligated to find jobs for law breaking Mexican nationals?

Mexico's problems are Mexico's problems to solve. The American taxpayer should not be penalized because Mexicans would rather come here and place burdens on us rather than demand a better society for their own people.
