If their idea is to come here and turn over our natural public monopolies to Carlos Slim, then I am a bit worried.

I'm much more concerned about the growing population of narcissistic bigots.

As for the Cubans. IMO, that should never have been allowed to happen and "wet foot, dry foot" should end. We see how well the Cubans have assimilted. Miami is just another little Havana where mostly all Spanish is spoken. Sorry, we are not a Spanish speaking country in identity as much as you may wish so. With this continued migration from south of our border the Hispanization will be complete. How would Cubans in Cuba or Mexicans in Mexico like it if there was an illegal invasion by millions of Chinese and their country became an Asian one in identity rather than an Hispanic one? You know damned well they'd care and they'd have every right to object to that!

Sorry, but I am not a coward and will fight for my country's national identity. The title of this thread has everything to do with illegal immigration from south of our border. No wonder our country is in such a state with those like you who just cave in, roll over and play dead and don't give a damn.

My label of you is correct. You'd rather cave into the invaders. With your insult of me having a big mouth and a tiny brain I will not respond to your posts again nor will I even read them. If you can't debate civilly then I am done. Thank God for the ignore feature in this forum.
Someone needs to tell OldTimer that he/she/it needs to take a look at his/her own posts before claiming that he/she's being undeservedly dissed.

Sadly, unlike Hispanics, the census doesn't track them.

To boil it down to the simplest components of my opinion, the answer is I just don't care any longer.
The country as a whole as we have known it is no longer viable for anyone, white, black brown, yellow, etc.

Sure come on in, I don't care any longer.
To actually care about this issue is to believe that the U.S. is worth saving any longer, it's not.
Debauchery, disease, blight, rape, murder, assault, unemployment, high suicide rates, hunger, homelessness and hopelessness.

I'm in my mid forties, married and have no children so I have just stopped worrying about the stench of this sewer laden garbage pile of a country.

The downward spiral continues

Thank God I'm turning 47 this year. Wishing to be any younger is like wishing you had cancer because you'll rot in hell either way.

Prior to the economic downturn the illegal immigration population was increasing at a rate of 500,000 per year. Since 2008 it's pretty much stagnated. Even with the growth of the Mexican middle-class and and the economic downturn Mexico still officially expects immigration to the US, legal or otherwise, will continue to increase at pretty much historical averages.

FWIW...

You are fighting (in your head) a losing battle. You are fighting CHANGE. CHANGE is the only constant there is. Hopefully you are an old person so you won't have to endure the frustration of having to see the changes in the world, in this country, in your own family which are coming. You cannot hold back time and you cannot stop CHANGE.
