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.
