And you are indeed correct.

Riot for their what?Rights?What rights,they are criminals and are not entitled to the rights that are granted to citizens.Go on crime sprees or start riots?Tell you what,not sure about how things are in your part of the country,but in the area where I reside there are a lot of very,very angry men that are well armed and are skilled in the use of weapons.If Pancho,Luis,Arturo,and their amigos are so foolish as to resort to civil disorder and rioting there are many that would be most happy to see that they were sent home in very nice wooden boxes.

The only practical option is the status quo. Agree?
Let them.

Put them in prison. Let them make baskets, and legal citizens can run the prison. Don't send any $ to Mexico. Sell the baskets on ebay. Or pay China off in baskets.

This scenario is very interesting and frightening to say the least. There a many ramifications and questions that arise in such a conflict.....
I wonder how it would play out, Or if we are really ready for a situation such as this ?
How would we choose sides?

How would "our" government react, and whose side would they be on ?

Very interesting.....

Plus -- they didn't exactly riot leaving their own beloved country, why would they riot leaving ours when they don't understand the language or culture here?
