Yes ask my E.C. realitives, and they are screaming. Not a problem with the color, for us that is not a issue, it is any immigrant coming to this Country illegally, even my Ancerstors Country of ITALIA!

I do note that you did not hyphenate that.

I don't think Mexicans will achieve the same degree of assimilation that the Italian descended Americans did. I think their living standards will improve, but not to the same degree. What the Italians, and the Irish, and the Polish and all those other early 20th century immigrants had on their side is that they are white. Mexicans are, for the most part, not white. There is not a society in this world where two different races living together within a country have the same living standard. The darker of the two is usually at the bottom.

There is a substantial number of Mexicans that wish this to be Mexico.
Act like it's Mexico and even those that have an attitude about it.
Yeah, that will endear you here.
