Interesting being that there is no 'Mexican' race.

Strictly speaking: George Romney; Mitt's father would have run afoul of the 'No Mexican' rule, he was born/raised in Chihuahua, Mx-------both of his parents were residents ca. 1910.

EDIT: here in Arizona we had some oddball 'No Mexican' laws, the brown ones had to deal with that crap with the 'White' Latinos being exempt-------even if all of the above had the same mother and father.

Sorry, but it is not worth a tinkers d**** about migrants when the rest of the country here is no better. You can always find the few in any race.

This goes on all the time in the USA like I said before by every race. I wish she could understand that.
Not true. The city of Lake Worth, FL didn't have gangs before illegal immigrants took over the city.

This has nothing to do with race. I live in a multicultural city and I like racial diversity. But when illegal immigrants are flooding our country and contributing mostly negative things to it then there's a problem. Our country is gonna be in a mess if this mass illegal immigration continues.

Most of the Hispanic gangs are the product of Americans. So your claim that illegal immigrants formed these gangs in that Florida town is pretty moot.

How is it moot? The Hispanics living in Lake Worth are not American-bred, they are coming straight from the foreign countries themselves. Your argument is not valid and makes no sense.

Well, Portland Oregon had it share of gangs way before the Ilegals showed up.
They were mostly cripes and Bloods and skin heads. I imagine there are Mexican gangs there now too. I live in Arizona and have yet to see a gang of any kind (thank God). I have had no problems with legals or illegals, but then again I treat them no different than anyone else.

Yes and no.

Typically; it is the first US born generation of immigrants (legal and/or illegal) who get into gangs, etc. The second US born generation tend to be simply 'Americans'.

Be they Irish, Italian, Chinese, etc.

Do you even know what you're talking about? The very definition of 'Hispanic', in the U.S means an Individual of Latin American decent born in the U.S.

The PNW does have the rep of having a major White supremacist 'skinhead' problem.

Never mind that the original skins back in Great Britain had a lot of Caribbean Black in their culture (ska music for example)
