Most of the Mexicans here are here legally.
No, they're not.
The well established number is that 50% of them are either illegals or the descendants of illegals.
Treating the children of illegals as Americans has no basis in law and has never been adjudicated, because they were terrified of what would happen.
If the Obama court stays in power that might change. But there is no credible world where illegal aliens decide who the citizenry of the United States will be simply by squatting a kid on U.S. soil ten minutes after stepping across the line.
And those who came legally, they're "immigrants", they are "the Americans"? Really?
Here's a simple test of who they are: Declare War on Mexico tomorrow morning. Then declare a Draft to fight the war.
Let me know which side they all end up on.
And BTW, K-Bar: Ever been west of the Tennessee state line?
Have any idea of what it’s like in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Bay Area?
We won’t mention El Paso and Albuquerque. Too far gone.
These were places that just 45 years ago were um...lilly white, except for the 10-15% black populations in California and Texas.
“Hispanics” - Mexicans - are now a plural majority in California. That’s 15 million people - up from 7 million in 1990, and about 4 million in 1980.
Tell me how that happened with just legal immigration. The 1986 Amnesty was supposed to be “only” 1.6 million. It ended up being 3 million - 100% more - and those 3 million brought in, on average, 3 others each - it just took about a decade. The INS was slow...
But that’s where your “legal immigrants” came from: amnestied illegals. And later their children, bringing in entire Oaxacan villages (these are people who are stone age troglodytes that don’t even speak Spanish...usually Nahuatl, but of course you’re COMPLETELY familiar with that, right? Right).
Don’t think that someone sitting on the Eastern Seaboard should be commenting on something you have no idea about.
