The first generation illegals may be hard-working and Catholic. Their worthless anchor-baby off-spring are the thugs that roam the streets and populate ruthless gangs in cities across America. Perhaps mandatory sterilization should be included when ICE deports illegals, knowing they usually find a way to get back to the US within 30 days.
That is a bit of an over generalization. Most of my in laws came over illegally over 20 years ago. They are for the most part secular but they are now tax paying, property owning law abiding, legal citizens. While they do have large families, most of their children have graduated from college and good people. They accepted me as one of the family and I think they are wonderful. To address your other point though, I grew up near Kingwood and have indeed seen what you are describing first hand. Unfortunately the worst 10% of any population is unfortunately what many base their opinions on.
