Interesting.....As an American, it's pretty sad what's become of California. It's ridiculous how California doesn't even feel like America anymore. Although geographically it is on the map, everyone speaks Spanish and you feel like you're in a hell hole in Mexico.

The tourists come, spend money, boost the economy, and leave. I wish we could say the same for the Mexicans.....

College kids can act pretty irresponsibly when they're on spring break. I guess the local residents do get tired of the trouble that comes along with the annual invasion every spring. Nevertheless, they do inject a lot of money into the local economy.......even if it is necessary to spend a lot of it just cleaning up the place after they go back home.

College kids? It's the overgrown, whiny self aggrandizing adult's who act more like fraternity/sorority pledges that I bet their talking about.

But I will say, they do pump money into the local economy...probably just like the "Mexcian's" do as well.

Interesting how you lack the ability to recall history......Who did California belong to??? Just because of the lines n a map does not mean that lily white Europeans are any more entitled to it than the natural inhabitants.

Well, from speaking with Mexicans I met in that part of Mexico, Americans are loud and annoying. They were actually disappointed at first to learn that we were American, and not Europeans. But at least half came around to not hate us too much as they listened and sung along to American music and wore American fashions!

If it weren't for Spring Break, these disgruntled Mexicans would be drug mules for the cartels.

Eastern Europeans are disgusting when they travel.

Is there any group, other than white men, that you don't feel the need to post negative comments about?

Your comments say more about you, not the group you show such disdain for.
