[quote=macmeal;7918106]I things continue to deteriorate...(say, for example, the economy continues downward for another straight year or more), a 'raid' such as this one will undoubtedly become common practice.
Unfortunately, by the time THAT happens, our society may be under such strain that the 'illegal' problem becomes just a moot point. The severity and persistence of the immigration problem even today, is a clear illustration of the fact that the TRUE problem here is 'ethnic strife'. Illegal immigration could be solved in short order; the fact that it can NOT be is because of its 'racial' connotations.
At this point, I'm not sure the problem CAN be solved. We'll have to wait a few more years, until things become intolerable...and at THAT point, we'll look for someone who will step in and solve the problem FOR us....and that will undoubtedly mark the end of our greatness as a nation.
We'll have voluntarily given up our liberty in the interest of 'getting along'....and we'll still BE here..but we'll no longer be "us".[/quote]

Latino Patriotism - Hispanic Contributions to America's Military
I think youre correct on what youre saying but for example if you look
at where all the military bases we have around the world..and
what we spend protecting europe..europe..against russia..did you know
economically europe is 7 times stronger then russia..
did you know that? or that south korea is 30 times economically stronger then north korea...or japan which is half of chinas economy...
they want cheap oil but yet, they dont want to spend a dime to protect the routes to get them..
america has outspend herself...and all that money
that was created from the babyboomers has failed to make a safer north america...Mexico as neighbor has not received as much help as the europeans or koreans...or japanese...
and now they have or will turn against us...the rest of the world..because they might not be waging a war...of bullets..but they are sure waging an
economic war...so
think like a real estate developer...if you have
a 300,000 dollar house.in a subdivision..of.. a 100,000 dollars houses..
then in the long run..your house..cannot be praise more then what a 300,000 dollar house might be in with houses the same price.and that is what latin america is to america...
our neighborhood...
now..about ethnic...strife...is because...it has nothing to do with
demographics..Mexico and the rest of latin america do not see america as the enemy...thats how we perceive them...because they seem diffrent..and talk diffrent..

Mexican population growth might seem like a lot...but not really when you compare it to the size of the country...
so this 10 or 20 million of illegals..which 60% percent are from mexico
could someday be our...diplomats with the rest of latin america..
or are bosnia of europe...
is our choice to decide...if we strangle commerce...
then were doom...for sure
