“Illegal immigrants are clearly changing the landscape of the United States--making it UNRECOGNIZABLE as the country I grew up in. I grew up in Texas and I remember communities that had a similar culture. I know there were people that weren't white among us but I couldn't tell you how many or what colors they were as they were well assimilated. In fact, my best friends during school in a very affluent Dallas suburb were black, Filipino and Indian (from India). Yet, we shared the same values, the same culture, the same language, the same everything because we were all just "American".
“Fast forward about 10-15 years and I became a teacher. And I discovered that our schools had changed dramatically. I ultimately decided that I would never send my own children to any of these failing pre-prison environments. After a failed attempt to help my community and start a charter school, I decided to home school my own children.

Fairly long but excellent article Definitely worth the read
JDubsMom: you reminded me of something there.
Growing up in the Wash DC area 35 years ago we had E Indians, Jamaicans, Argentines, Mexicans, generic Asians, Iranians, etc. yet as a group they did their damnedest to become simply Americans.
Note though all of the above typically had strong Middle Class values AKA First World ways of doing things----------unlike those insolent aliens with the mentality of 3 YO's trying to come here illegally.

Growing up my experiences were very similar. There was a mixture in my neighborhood, jewish, arab, white and black. Everyone spoke English (at least in public) and those here from other countries did everything they could to assimilate and be proud Americans. My how times have changed . . . .
Do you guys not see how obviously fake his testimonials are?

As always, my nemesis, Commandante Pedro writes gritty letters telling me how Mexico continues its reconquest of the United States. Pedro said, “Oh Mr. Frosty! Can't you see the writing on the wall? Don't you see the signs of the times? The politicians know who to kowtow and cater to. The White vote is irrelevant. That was proven on 11/04. We are the future; therefore it is our bottoms which must be kissed. The fools in the Congress realize that within 20 years it is the Latinos who will be calling the shots, and that is the reason why they prostrate themselves before us in slavish devotion. I personally believe that deep down, most of these fat crackers feel guilty for the oppression that their ancestors visited upon the indigenous peoples, and this is their pathetic attempt at making amends for the White Man's crimes.

[LEFT]Did you know that at the southern Mexican border, those who attempt to enter Mexico illegally are shot on sight? It is lucky for us that the decadent gringos who run this nation are so soft and weak that they are incapable of enforcing the laws currently on the books. We will go down in history as the mighty conquerors of America, and we will do it without firing a shot. You gringos are truly pathetic. I feel emboldened to state this freely because I know that nothing will be done to stop us, we have already won. It is all over save for the shouting. In the meantime continue with your quixotic warnings, they make for an amusing read.

Wow, that was just a little convenient that the member of MeCha, not MeCHa, says all the things the most extreme of anti-illegals use as their arguments.
This guy is so cheesy, and too stupid to be a convincing "journalist".
I don't know why you guys bother reading his tripe. Just because he says what you like to hear doesn't mean you have to buy into it.
An ad hominem tactic won’t work. If it’s the truth (which it is), I don’t care if SpongeBob is the source.
The guy making up his own "testimonials" and "letters" is enough.
What's the truth? All the anti-Mexican propaganda this guy puts out? This guys is racist towards Latinos, or ethnicist, or whatever helps you guys sleep at night. And that's no empty accusation. I can't believe you guys will read this man's material and accept it just because he's on your "side".
I would think you guys would have better judgment over this kind of thing.

It’s not an issue of him being on my "side.” Nor does his opposition to illegal immigration qualify him as being a racist. I vehemently oppose illegal immigration, and I am certainly not a racist. I have witnessed the devastating impact of illegal immigration on neighborhoods in this country. My opinion of this man does not negate the truth he speaks.

Did I say his opposition to illegal immigration qualified him as being a racist? Do you you usually make assumptions like you have the last few times you've responded to me?
