I agree that the word Mexican has come to be a broad blanket to cover many Hispanic groups, just like we blame the Chinese for producing all the crap parts we all complain about. In fact, many of these parts come from many other countries.
Contrary to what may have been interpreted here, I have no problem with Mexicans, or Cubans, or any other Nationality coming here. (Let's face it, we probably weren't on the American Indian's guest list either !) What I do have a problem with is when ANY incoming group takes more from the country than they are willing to put back. I know illegals here (personally) who have their Kids getting free lunches at school and free medical care. Yet a staggering number of middle class, hard working people in this country do NOT have health care................I am one of those people.
I mentioned a while back that I worked with an illegal who I like a lot. However, as nice as he was, he had no hesitations about having his kids signed up for Medicare and Government handouts, even though he had health insurance available to him at work that he could have bought. He simply figured why should he buy it when he could get it free. BTW, he did not make $ 7 an hour either, he made $ 22 plus bonuses. He also found out that at Christmas various churches would give needy families free dinners. So he went to 5 churches and threw a big party for all his friends.
Are all of the imigrants like that? Absolutely not, but enough are that our Government resources are being diverted to support them........and we are the ones paying that bill.

Speaking about health care and insurance---when I was flying the B737 I flew to Mexico City a lot(1988--) down there the doctors and lawyers drive taxicabs as no one uses medical services and no one has enough money for any one to sue---so there perspective is out a kelter for the way we do things here.
I am surprised that no one responded to my idea of taking Panama canal back and building the much shorter fence between Panama and Columbia---stop the drugs!!!
Annex Mexico and Cetral America---make them territories just like American Samoa and PR---They would then be citizens and we could tax them---there money spent there would be in our economy

I think neither Rep. or Dem. want to close the borders.
I think it is bad for their drug biz.
In Des Moines Iowa we had or first case of TB in 50 years.
Guess what it came from an illeagal of Hispanic decent.
I have not problems with anyone who wants to come to the US as long as they have all the correct papers.

A while back there was a program on TV about the illegal alien thing. One person interviewed was (I think) the Governor of Texas (or some other Official). His comment was that if the illegals were removed overnight from Texas the home building and services industries would collapse!! What the heck is with that?????
When I lived in California the company I worked for knowingly hired illegal aliens. At lunch one day I asked the President of the company why we did that, knowing it was illegal to do so. His answer "they work cheap, 20 of them will live in one house, and they don't cause any trouble here because they are afraid to be turned in."
As for securing the borders, the guy I worked with at the marina has been caught and sent back 3 times. In two weeks he was back, as if he had never been gone at all !

guard tower with .50 cal every thousand meters. Infantry soldier manning the station 24/7. weekly border inspection with ground penetrating sonar. Border problem solved.
Revoke the statute granting citizenship of illegals children born in US. Deport ALL illegals. Charge country of origin 10,000$ per.
but first make them clean up the border.
vote for me..

• Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
Crime Rates
• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
• Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
• Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
• Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
• Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.Last edited by BigTruckDriver; 01-30-2008 at 03:03 PM.

What if we all renounce our US citizenship, move
to Mexico,then sneak back in and claim some of that free stuff! If you cant beat 'em, join 'em!
Several years ago we did quite a good trip of USA, and on our trip we got to meet Mike and Christine Frade. We didn't stay long with them, but in that relatively short time we both gained a great...
