Around here the neighborhoods occupied by illegals are the most ghetto neighborhoods around. If they're so great and fix up neighborhoods, you can take them all out of CA. Or, maybe you can talk these people, who according to you are all "hardworking and pleasant", to going back to their country of origin and fixing up the neighborhoods THERE.
I DID NOT say Americans were bad.

Face it: there are still enclaves here in the USA where the per capita income is is under $10K a year----------Indian Reservations come to mind. WE certainly do not go to Mexico with our had out demanding money.

Again: Mexico needs to grow up.
And what does this have to do with Minutemen?

Did you ever take the time to get to know any immigrant Mexican families. They are some of the most hard working pleasant people to have as neighbors. Here in New Jersey they have revitalized many blighted neighborhoods. 15 years ago there was a drug infested forgotten neighborhood in New Brunswick, NJ, in less than 5 years immigrant Mexicans completely turned the neighborhood around to a low crime pleasant place. The same thing has happened in downtown Plainfield NJ. In Plainfield it happened in less than 5. I wish I had some before and after pictures. Immigrant Mexican families are starting to move to the suburban ares in NJ. I see them buy a run down home and fix it up in less than a few months. Many of them here are trying to learn English and assimilate. A couple has just purchased a boarded up foreclosed property up the block from me here in Newark. The wife is Mexican and the husband is Dominican. They are both undocumented immigrants and I could not be more happy. Myself and 4 others in the neighborhood helped them move in and are going to lend a hand with home repairs. I dont know first hand how it is on the west coast but Mexican immigration has had a positive effect in more ways than one in NJ. I really dont care how they got here.
Irrelevant.

We as a nation do not need those illegal alien criminals period.
