Yup I did. I might have skimmed a bit, but I think I read it all.

So long as they're legal I'd like it if we had more middle-class or suburban Mexicans. Sounds fine by me to have less "white, non-Hispanic" suburbs.

Some of the potential racism on the thread is a bit disturbing, but oddly even if one is intense on the white thing I'd have to say the figures are maybe not even as big a deal as they sound. A good percentage of Hispanics deem themselves "white" and I read a high percent of Panamanians don't even see themselves as Hispanic or Latino. In time lighter-skinned Hispanics born here might be like the Irish, Italians, and Greeks in being just "ethnic kinds of white people." Hector Elizondo's of substantial Basque ancestry, with blue eyes, so if he'd wanted to just be seen as a "white guy" he might have even been able to manage it.

I don't know if its possible to have middle class suburban mexicans because every city they move into turns into a rotting ghetto. Chicago, Phoenix, La?? Its even more fun when the mexicans call us racist, but when I go into a hispanic dominated town and get cursed at, honked at, and barely evade about 5 confrontations.

None of those are suburbs. Besides Chicago, really? It was one of the most crime-ridden cities in America during Prohibition and maybe sometime after or before for all I know. It has many good things too, but it's not like poverty or violence is something Mexicans had to introduce to it.

Besides many majority or plurality Hispanic towns or cities are low in crime. Look at the following.

Within three decades the federal government won't even be able to function due to the massive debt (greater than now) and decreased revenues. We're becoming a third world country, bit by bit, with third world people.

However, I know that you prefer more non-whites. I know that it's hunky-dorey for you to see fewer whites, for the people who founded and built this nation to take a back seat. After all, you're a non-white, I'm figuring, and you stand to gain something. Whites, on the other hand, stand to lose their country, their home, their way of life. You would never understand.
LOL, as I read your post, I couldn't help but to be reminded of this video:
