There they go again with that dispicable bit of con carne.Actually, it has never been more true.
I saw some data a couple years ago that indicated that only 25-30 % of the U.S. population had U.S. roots that went back to the time of the Constitution.
I sometimes think it may be even less.
But, this is not the point of the Mexican problem though. Or perhaps it is with some.

I think you missed something there; nearly everything west of the Appalachian Mountains was part of Mexico, which was part of Spain, when the Constitution was written. (admittedly we had English-American settlers in quite a few places they weren't supposed to be, but...)
