They respect the American immigration system and come here legally and I will welcome them with open arms as true American citizens.

But when I see things like this (disrespecting the American flag which so many Americans have died to defend and protect) I have no sympathy at all and only want them out of my country as fast as possible:
Well at least we can agree on a couple of things. That they are not wired that it wrong when they disrespect our American flag.

That was never an issue. They have always been able to take their spouses and children with them. If Mexico passes immigration reform, an illegal immigrant who is married or has children in Mexico, can remain in Mexico. It was never meant for Mexican expats.

So by your assertion, Latino illegal immigrants and Latino legal immigrants are wired differently. Can you expound on how your view relates to the discussion of language barrier? I thought you said you have never had any contact with an illegal immigrant? How could you make an educated opinion if you don't know one side?

The legal immigrants who had to find an employer sponsor and obtain a work visa are definitely wired very differently from illegals.

The work sponsored legal immigrants rarely refuse or are incapable of learning English. Often they properly prepared themselves long before coming here for the language and other adaptations.

Work sponsored legal immigrants tend to control their birth rates and tend not to start having children at very young ages and when they can't afford them.

I would say that the wiring of work sponsored legal immigrants is vastly different from illegals. But I would agree that many of the family sponsored legal immigrants are no different than illegals.
These are all assumptions malamute. Can you provide some statistics? The new study in Mexico shows the average family has four children. All of my family (extended as well) are legal in the country and I can tell you that the majority have large families. English is learned where it is needed. If immigrants, legal or not, live in an area where Spanish is common, they will not feel the need to learn it. Some still do because they understand that learning English can help you get a better job. It really does work toward their advantage but not all take that challenge.

No its not. All humans are wired to survive. That is exactly what this family is doing. If you pay close attention, the father said, he will try to survive in his own country but if he cant, he will go to another country where he can feed his family.

It comes at a perfect time when the children are still small and, according to the video, they don't speak Spanish. They can pick up the language fast.

The comment was on what he said, not what you said.

Yes, we are all wired to survive but many people don't choose to break the law to do so. Those in Mexico for the most part aren't starving just that they can make more money here. That is not viable reason for breaking our immigration laws to supposedly "survive".
