Look at the population of California must be 70 percent Hispanic if that's not invasion then, you better wake up. Mexico will take it back with out firing a shot and most are looking the other way and letting it happen.

I know, I know, and that still doesn't make me look down upon it enough to not want to move there.

I just can't say anything, I know if I take the neutral stance I'm going to hear it from both sides.

I don't want to live under Mexican culture. I WANT to live like an American. Is this racist? No.

Yeah, seriously wake up!

Does this honestly bother you?! This reveals more an issue than just illegal immigrants.

Yeah, it reveals their up to something and people like you are burying your head in the sand ignoring it. Until, you wake up one day and see that California is 100 percent Hispanic. Do you even go to the websites that show what they are up to? Have you seen flyer's in Mexico stating go to America we will win it back without firing a shot?
Just wonder how many of those illegals are actually working or are drug runners and gang members.
They have found that the grounds between Idaho and Oregon grow excellent pot so, now we have many pot gardens and when caught guess what their Hispanic. But, I guess that is a racist remark!! I know that others grow it also, but these are known Mexicans and they have caught them before. So, they are not all here to work in the fields, at least not, fruit and vegetables!!

I can just see all the illegals here and soon to be here just siting back and LOVING the people that support them, calling them Suckers. America has NO IDEA what it is in store for, it isnt going to be pretty either.

First, "Hispanic" isn't a race. BERRIES appears concerned about the erosion of the American culture and its replacement with one that is third-world Hispanic. Illegal aliens (not immigrants) are not assimilating into the American culture and this failure has profound negative consequences for our (our, DUSEAN) culture and country.

It's my belief that all illegal aliens, every single one of them, should be deported, carte blanche, back to where they came from, but if they're allowed to stay, these criminals should assimilate. Speak English, embrace the tenets of the Founding Fathers and get to work. What many people, of all ethnic stripes, are seeing is the appearance of large Hispanic ghettos filled with non-English speaking third world inhabitants.

I for one, don't know what's worse, the presence of illegal aliens or the large organized groups of Hispanics defending their failure to assimilate. Either way, I feel assaulted. BERRIES has a right to voice concern without you suggesting an ugly motive.

You can't force anyone it's against their constitutional rights to be forced into something they don't want to do!

And yes I know the constitution doesn't apply to non-Americans, but yet, people think it does. So they get all the protection of the constitution as well.

Really? Where did you get the idea that it doesnt? Have you read the following statement by Senator Howard, 39th Congress, May 23rd, 1866, when he spoke of the 14th amendment and stated:

"The last two clauses of the first section of the amendment disable a State from depriving not merely a citizen of the United States, but any person, whoever he may be, of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or from denying to him the equal protection of the laws of the State.”

Hmm, an amendment to the Constitution that also provided protection to non-citizens… maybe this is why some people think the Constitution does apply.

As my astronomy teacher taught me, when you're wrong you're wrong!

And no, I'm not going to get mad because I was wrong. I am, I am!
