Stereotypes? Mexico and most of Latin America is a frigging crime-ridden hell hole. Sorry for the stereotypes. What stereotypes? We know your "culture" lol

And most of them Hispanics. God help this country!

I've heard Chicanos tell ME they don't like illegal aliens and the word they used was the full spelling so take it up with THEM. I cleaned it up a bit.

NO reason to let in more Mexicans beyond legal aliens from there now. Time to give other countries like Chile, Argentina and so on a chance to send people here LEGALLY.

No...i'm taking it up with YOU. You used it. Just because they used it doesn't mean you should.

Blacks use the N-word with each other. Do you go around saying that too just because they do? Nope...you don't.

Chill with the racial slurs.

One of the advantages we have over other nations in the not too distant future is a younger population. This advantage will be entirely due to immigration.

Half my friends are second generation hispanics. They work, raise families, drink a beer occassionally and they also often speak spanish. So what?

Got it. Next time YOU use what I think is a slur; I'll yank your chain, hard.

I don't understand something.
If hispanics make up 40% of citizens in America,can't we technically known as a "latin American" country in 2050?

I believe of we continue the way we are,we could end up like Belize, the carribean country.

Probably because English ain't a Latin language. If Ireland had 30 percent of its citizens of Aztec and Navajo family but followed Irish customs; they'd still be Irish. Same thing here.

Funny -- I never see you jump on anyone for using a term like "redneck', "anglo", "gringo" and other racial slurs.

They call them "mojados" in Mexico. Mojados even call themselves mojados, and it the same thing.
