Yeah, I agree with some of that. My Grandfather came over on the boat from Czechoslovakia at the end of the 1800's. He and my Dad did speak some Russian at home, but not 100 percent of the time. (Usually when they were arguing ) But people of that era cherished the thought and prospects of becoming Americans. Sure, they kept part of their heritage, but for the most part tried to fit in with their new home. Most worked hard to make a decent living and teach their children right from wrong.

And while my comments may have the appearance of being directed at one group in particular, they weren't intended to be that way. That group is just the most prevalent right now here in S. Florida. But the crime issues are certainly not exclusive to only one nationality.

Don I have been to Florida, I make it about 6 times a year to work with local people. So I can tell you this with experience from being there. There are not many Mexicans there in Florida. All though they might speak Spanish and you categorize them as Mexican, they are not..... From all the times I have been there I can not even count on my hands how many Mexicans I ran into. I am not saying Florida is "Mexican Free" but the majority the Spanish speaking people there are not Mexican.

But really this has gone on way to long. It does not matter what nationality you are ,if you are in a land with endless opportunities and there is no record of who you are you can get away with murder, literally.

I don't hold anything against people who come to this country as long as it is done legally. My ancestors came here from England in the mid to late 1600's. Techically they were illegals, at least to the local native americans.

Mexicans do take the brunt of a lot of the accusations, because they are the ones coming in waves. But, I don't care if they are from Mexico, Canada, Iraq, or Cambodia, if they are here illegally, then they should get legal or get out. Florida does have a mixed bag of latino nationalities, Cubans to the south, Central Americans all over, and a fair amount of Mexicans as well. Especially in central Florida. Many of whom are there legally, because they want to be legal. Many are very hard working people who have businesses and are an asset to their communities.
