You don’t know any Mexicans. And obviously you know nothing about Mexican history. You don’t know how lucky we are that we began as a colony of England, not Spain. All Mexicans are not thieves, liars and prostitutes, but those are the ones people in this country are exposed to because many of the ones who come here illegally are those things. All that said, when it comes to robbing us blind and leeching off our welfare and education systems and demanding more, I don’t blame for taking what is offered by our corrupt politicians and our courts. I blame our government. We’d all be better off if, after the Mexican War, we had just kept the whole country. Texas and New Mexico and Arizona and California turned out all right — until Mexico managed to take them back. And you’re right, under a different system, Mexico would be a prosperous country. But I still feel sorry for the normal people there who are just trying to live their lives.
Lydia, I know and have known more Mexicans than I care to, believe me and I’m a bit offended you would assume that I don’t. And as I said, my compassion and patience with them is long exhausted. They don’t do anything to change the situation in their country. Their only answer is to run away from the mess they’ve created. How long of a country are we going to be if this keeps up? When Mexico has destroyed the US, then what?
And btw, my great-great grandfather was with Zachery Taylor in 1848 :-)
