I saw that, but add up the #'s and you see they don't add up. Rather go look at the names on the list. Just because many came from other states don't mean they weren't Mexican/Spanish descent.

I don't think so. If you look only at names that appear "mexican" you end up with 14. For you math majors out there that's 12%.

But that's not what's important.

I get a kick of these stupid remarks that Americans are afraid of Mexicans. Just because we desire our immigration laws respected and enforced doesn't equate to fear. I don't have a problem with Mexicans coming here legally (however they do get more than their fair share in our quotas and family ruinification quotas and that isn't diversity). It is those here illegally that I object to and so should every other loyal, lawabiding American.
