It's kinda hard to believe "they came for a better life" when suddenly they are the majority of the population where you live. That is NOT immigration... that is a invasion... it is replacing one people with another. Come to any big city in California, the cities aren't even anything recognizably American. And if you're White, be prepared to be confused, realizing the U.S. government wants you dead is hard.

And as the majority I will have high expectations that they will perform as well as the people they replace. Majority status come with majority responsibility.

Actually; the odds are greater that the signage in Mexico will go to English vs. the USA adopting Spanish.

Ever been to southern Texas...English is almost officially a dead language here. I tell my friends that you don´t enter the US until you reach Oklahpma or Louisiana!

The majority will reap what they sow. Good, or bad.

The problem I see is that they feel no responsibility to their own country and people to build a better life there. And because of that, it's just going to be a never-ending flood of people coming.

They need some real heros. Men like Martin Luther King for example who didn't just pack up his bags and run, he worked to make things better for all, he worked to make his country more just, change attitude, change laws.

The problem with Mexico is that so many millions of people are leaving that it creates a vacuum, massive migration out does not build stability, it doesn't create jobs.
