So the loss of our culture, language, national identity and a demographic change via an illegal invasion is ok with you. Why? It has nothing to do with diversity. We are already a diversified nation. The takeover of one ethnic group isn't diversity. Oh get your head out of the past. This has nothing to do with that. Those who are coming here illegally are mostly Mexicans. Their tribes were not indigenous to this country and their homeland is Mexico. The descendants of the tribes that were indigenous to this country are U.S. citizens.

Exactly! Most Mexicans are of Spanish ancestry and they did exactly what the other Europeans did. So where do they have room to talk?

You can call it what you want and you can shrill about how legal it was from our perspective - but it's all tonka shine-ola!!!
Who is "we"? I wasn't even alive back. I was born here not in Europe. Am I responsible for what dead people did? My ancestors didn't even come here until well after those conflicts and the U.S. was already an established country. There were no immigration laws back then and even the so-called natives migrated from somewhere else. Besides what does this have to do with illegal Mexicans? Their tribes settled south of here. You know, that country called Mexico.

Think man! When a group has enough numbers more than the native population that isn't conquering? Where's the rhetoric? If you come here not within our immigration laws then yes you are an invader.

What does this thread have to do with illegal anything. If you got a problem, that's your problem.
You can't argue your points on the illegal alien forum because it's dead..Why? because your ideas did not work. Will Not Work.

If you're scared of your neighbor, that isnt his fault...that is yours.

SO YES welcome these people, open the Kitchens to them and LET US ALL LEARN FROM WACH OTHER!!!!
Then go to Mexico then. You have a lot of nerve to embrace an illegal invasion based on something as trival as food choices all the while hurting the job opportunities and higher taxes for Americans not to mention that is it against the law to come here illegally! You can't be serious that there aren't enough Mexican restaurants here already with Mexicans running them. If you think that it is skilled or celebrity chefs that are what is coming through our border illegally then you are really out of your mind. These people are uneducated, unskilled and probably only know how to cook beans and rice. As if it is only illegals that know how to do that? I can't believe the lame excuses such as yours to defend illegal immigration into our country.

As long is they are growing their population here legally, there's no concern. Illegal immigration is a big problem. Growing diversity from within is not... especially when our culture is diversity.

Yes, especially when they don't understand english when buying or talking to them on the phone. How can one do business that way?

Don't know if this has been addressed but...cholera, tuberculosis, measles, mumps (stuff we've been immune to for the past 40 years).
