I know that many people say "they (the Latinos) should fix their own country instead of coming here."

That's not true. Only race baiters like you say "Latinos should fix their own country." The rest of us say "Mexicans should fix their own country." 'Mexican' is a nationality not a race. Most of the other immigrants you described came here legally.

I read in a newspaper a while ago that our immigration laws have changed little in the past eighty years since they were developed by Hitler-admiring eugenists ...

Then how did the Eastern-Europeans, the Russians and the Vietnamese get here? They all came in the last eighty years. You've been reading leftist propaganda. Stop it it rots the mind.

First, I would like to ask you how you know that I have or have not heard "Latinos should fix their own country"?
If you know what someone who comments on a web-board from miles away who you have never seen has or has not heard I suggest you apply to the FBI. Such abilities would be very useful to them.
Secondly, I meant to say "Latinos should fix their own countries" not "country." I am perfectly aware of the fact that Mexico is a nation.

You said "how did the Eastern-Europeans, the Russians and the Vietnamese get here?"
My understanding is that many didn't. They were killed by the dictators who siezed control of their countries. I'm sure many have seen the photos of Vietnamese desperately trying to get into rising helicopters to escape the NVA.
