Legal or citizen Hispanics can't make that? It has to be the illegal kind?

Your BS is the same line used when the Irish, Poles, Jews, Italians et al. immigrated here. Learn to live with a changing face of America or give yourself an ulcer, I don't care.
I have no problem with legal immigration of which is how most Irish, Poles, Italians, etc. came here. My problem is with illegal immigration. Changing the face of America in that manner is neither lawful nor natural. WTH is wrong with you? So you don't give a damn about that? Unbelievable!

Of course it is.. we will all have to speak spanish because all those anchor babies being born the last decade and millions more coming will grow up and vote in Spanish as the national language... that is a given as things progress with free bees from this government.

Why are you so worried about America changing?

The economy nearly collapsed a few years ago, we've suffered through record unemployment because of it, people lost their homes, thousands of Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress can't agree on a dang thing, our infrastructure is collapsing and you don't want America to change?

Lol. I guess you'll be happy with getting flushed down the drain as long as everyone at the water treatment plant is speaking English.

So tell us: was the potato famine and the Irish migration "natural"? Was it natural for the Irish to come here in huge numbers because they were all starving? What's the difference between an Irishman coming here because he's starving and a Mexican coming here because he's starving? Papers? You think Paddy O'Brien wouldn't have climbed over the wall if Ireland was next to the United States? Guess again.

Bull - your problem is with Hispanics, legal or otherwise.

The difference is that the Irish learned English. Our government didn't translate everything into Gaelic did they ?

lol. They didn't have to. In places like Boston Paddy was in the booth with someone who was pointing to a name and saying, "Him. He's Irish."

The big difference is they wanted to become Americans.. many illegals carry Mexican flags and want to take back California .. they don't want to become an American citizen.. they go back and forth to Mexico .. they carry much money back with them . Billions of dollars out of THIS economy . No wonder there is no money to be spent here and businesses are struggling.

I personally know of hispanic women who had 16 kids living in a 2 bedroom house. They aint the duggars considering 1/2 these kids are dropouts or have been expelled and few of them are in jail. Disgusting is what it is. The hispanic population is exploding thanks to ***** like this and illegal immigration and its tearing our country down.

Based on what? Certainly not from my posts as I haven't said nor implied that at all. I guess when all else fails throw out the race card, right?

Here let me type it in caps for you so you will get it. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HISPANICS HERE LEGALLY THAT RESPECT OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS AND ASSIMILATE INTO OUR SOCIETY. Same goes for any other ethnic group here.
