Talk about a twist - I think we can count the Legal Immigrants from Mexico in our Anti-Illegal ranks now.
If you lived in Texas, you'd know this already. The legals tend to defend the illegals in most cases, and will even put themselves at risk to hide, or protect illegals. I'm not sure why this is, but I suspect that the legals prefer their illegal bretheren over the citizens of their new home.

Somebody needs to tell LaRaza though.
Apparently: the illegal aliens are starting to hurt the $$$ of the legal immigrants hence the latter starting to see the former for the criminals that they are.

It's unfortunate that it took dollars signs for them to take a stab at exhibiting any form of loyalty to America.

Or many of the American Latinos were fence sitters and are now realizing the grave danger they are in. Too: the antics of the illegal alien Mexicans (kidnappings, etc.) may have pissed off too many of the former.

Tough luck whiners, deal with it. Or maybe you should tell your government to take back the millions of whiny, arrogant, delusional illegal alien tax drainers and breeders that have invaded America.

Welcome to America. I'm sure it's far more civilized than what you're used to . . . .
Good and now maybe they will understand what we have been saying for decades now.

They'll never get it. At least our residents in Mexico produce moey for the Mexicans. What do we get from the illegals though? Until our "friends" south of the border are overrun by one fifth of OUR population (particularly the homeless, unskilled, eneducated) they'll never truely have a feel for what the US has had to face for the last twenty years.

Agreed. But that doesn't mean they would ever acknowledge or admit to how annoying millions of illegal alien mexicans invading, bankrupty and destroying America is for us.

Unlike the millions of poverty stricken, abundantly breeding mexican illegal aliens that have invaded America, I'm sure the majority of Americans who are there are LEGAL. They are also feeding, clothing, housing and taking care of themselves.

I personally don't have any problem with Americans living in Mexico, even though I've met both those who are here legally and illegally, and most people I know think the same way, but as always in any nation when someone that speaks a different language and has a different culture starts to arrive in significant amounts, some people won't like it.

Fella, The problem there is that Mexican entrepreneurs are building and marketing their retirement communities and assisted living facilities to retired Americans. I saw a TV program about it -- I think it was on the news show "60 Minutes" but I'm not positive. Anyhoo, they interviewed the Mexican developers involved and some of their happy American customers.

So, it's not as if people are bopping down there demanding to be accommodated.The entrepreneurs in Mexico are appealing to and marketing the idea to THEM. I don't know how building and zoning works in Mexico but if the locals are unhappy then they need to take it up with their local authorities and developers.
