So did my dad and uncle. Most legal immigrants are pissed at the thought of people crossing the border illegally...after all it takes a lot of work to get settled in the US legally.

They can very easily and quickly get drugs over the border and into any American city and town, mainly through illegal communities but also many legals which provides a vast distribution network. Drugs can be in a Juarez warehouse and in just a few hours be delivered to cities like Chicago.

Phoenix now rivals cities like Ciudad Juarez in kidnapping for ransom.

That describes it, what government and most media will not discuss and in the mean time we wait for our government to just do their job and enforce our laws. In parts of L.A. as in Mexico, some neighborhoods are controlled by drug gangs and safety is paid for.

Many white people still can't accept that this country has a non-white future. Whites are projected to be the minority by 2042, its time to start adjusting to the changing nature of this country.

And your point being? I see no reason to 'adjust' to a bunch of insolent losers who hopped the border and came here illegally.

We have the right whom we allow into the USA-----------White, Black, Asian---------be they Anglo or Hispanic.

It probably does have a non-white future....agreed. I don't particularly care, since I won't be here. When that non-White future arrives, will it be as a society of laws and rules and a united population, basically all working together ?..or a divided collection of mutually antagonistic ethnic 'cliques', each one looking out for its own interests, jealous and resentful of the other groups, and each group making sure that 'The others' don't get more than their share?

As I said, this doesn't apply to me...because I won't be here. Just an academic question.

Define 'White'.............not so terribly long ago; Irish and Italians were not counted as such yet Latinos as a group were.

I suspect that the 'Hispanic' label is getting ready to be retired...........anymore, it is showing signs of being derogatory along the lines of the word 'beaner'
