One you are in a village in Canada. Two that has NOT been overrun with illegal aliens.
Three, this has nothing to do with diversity, not about color of skin or national background.

The other half of the year I live in my condo in Florida.

In fact, I pay more taxes in the USA over all than in Canada. I think I have the right to make a few comments now and then.

You can comment all you want but you have no idea what it is like living in small town America that has been inundated with illegals so don't expect anyone to take your comments about how you would take such a situation or what the effects are to heart no matter how much taxes you pay in the US.


You seem to think it is about diversity . You have no idea.

These of course are estimates because we don't have any record of the flow of Mexicans in and out of Mexico or illegals crossing the border back and forth. The only real numbers are those recorded caught crossing the border by border patrol. And that has been roughly 50K a month at least for April and May.


Source for numbers.

I don't know why the focus is on just Mexicans when it comes to Latinos who are not only the border jumpers but combined they over stay their visas more than any other group also. I guess they want to separate Mexicans from the other Latino groups to make it seem that all is good.

Anyone who tries to make the issue of illegal immigration out to be a race issue is full of it and they know it. We have plenty of diversity via legal immigration and that's not the problem.

What makes you think so.
You responded to my comment about the effects of illegal aliens on small town America (note I did not say what nationality or race the illegals are) in regards to employment, housing, education, infrastructure and services, crime and community with comments about diversity, race and culture.
This tells me you have no idea what it is like living in small town America.

First off they shouldnt be having children if they csnt support them.
Secondly because they have children does not give them special privilige to break our laws.Where does that end? I want a better life for my kids, so here let me pistol whip you and steal your car?
In the end America cannot support the whole world and any argument justifying illegal immigration because the violaters have kids amounts to open border advocacy. Thats a fringe position that will never see reality.

If you can afford to maintain a home in canada and another in florida and fly back and forth between them seasonally that suggests your net worth leaves you insulated from most negative issues caused by illegal immigrants. Furthermore Florida isnt being overrun by Mexicans.The latino immigrants there are an entirely different breed.
A big problem with todays illegals is they dont speak english, utterly refuse to learn, cannot assist their childrens education, and feel no need to assimilate. They dont want to live in America. They want to bring Mexico here.
Lastly their culture deems that they should have 4-5 children per family, or the man lacks virility, machismo. Need we discuss what an irresponsible thing that is to do? They overpopulate their home countries, and we are supposed to allow them to force their way in.... because they want a better life for their children?
