Ruiz’s observations will strike anyone who has hired eager Mexican and Central American workers as incredible. I pressed him repeatedly, insisting that Americans see Mexican immigrants as cheerful and hardworking, but he was adamant. “We’re creating an underclass,” he maintained.

Affluent white folks can send them out of the gated community when the yardwork is finished. The rest of us get to deal with the barrio.

This is a real problem in Northern Virginia. Yet Arlington, VA and other communities in this area actually cater to them. Many of the violent home invasion gangs consist of illegal aliens and immigrants from several Asian countries.

And lets not forget the Russian Mafia that has made great inroads in this country.

Yeah, like me who has lived next to barrios and grown up on the streets of LA (lived in cars, garages, and even a shed). I got some cold hard facts for you seen through the eyes of a liberal youth; Mexicans love their bambinos and produce them as quickly as possible, but once they grow out diapers - out on the street. It's a fact. Of course there are the exceptions, but you would hardly see it by the degredation of so many communities in Southern California.

Yeah, I know, I'm a racist. Actually, I'm a culturalist. Deal with it.

I hate to say it, but given our current and prospective crop of politicians, I think we have passed the tilt point. We have lost the country, and it is time to come up with Plan B. In fact, Plan B probably won't work, and we need a Plan C or a Plan D to save whatever can be saved.

Some Hispanic parents valiantly try to impose old-fashioned consequences on teen pregnancies, but they are losing the battle. Vega’s father, a building superintendent and hardware store clerk, angrily told his pregnant daughter, according to Vega: “You gotta go live with [the boyfriend]. I now want nothing to do with you!”

This is much of the problem --- their "old-fashioned consequences" aren't at all like the "old-fashioned consequences" of Americans --- these parents encourage the kids to shack up but don't encourage marriage which gets in the way of the welfare handouts. It's common to see hispanic parents allow 15-16 year old kids to sleep together in their own home when a baby is on the way which is not all that common in USA culture. This encourages a high rate of teen pregnancy and a temporary relationship which tends to last for just a few months.

These are the people to whom President Bush (*and* candidate Kerry) want to give a free pass.

in increasingly Hispanic South Central L.A., tiny bodegas selling milk, diapers, and piñatas are replacing liquor stores.

Those are probably stores specializing in WIC vouchers (or WIC-only stores). They charge the government the maximum allowable prices for milk, eggs, cheese, and certain dry goods, and then give "free" gifts to the WIC customers.

Kevin Ruiz: “I don’t see assimilation,”

It's too bad that so many immigrants (illegal and legal) are not assimilating to American culture and not embracing American morals and values. .

We should enforce our immigration laws and select immigrants on skills and likely upward mobility, not success in sneaking across the border.

I definitely agree! I wish our government thought the same way, too.

You've said a mouthful. Yep, this article tells it exactly as it it. Our once-nice uptown area in Whittier (Richard Nixon's hometown) has pretty much been taken over by the gangstas. Merchants who catered to a more stable clientele have been driven out by the tagging, window etching, littering, etc. (Not to mention the gangbanging.)

And yet Bush and Kerry want to subject the rest of us to more, more, MORE of this insanity. When does it all end?

[pabianice]

Funny. No mention of this happening where Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, or any other Massachusetts liberal lives...

I'd like to see the unrestricted immigration pollyannas, such as immigration lawyers & the clowns on the WSJ's editorial board, held responsible for the pain & suffering their pet cause is increasingly responsible for.

Jorge Castaneda acknowledges the unprecedented character of Hispanic immigration. “Mexican immigration,” he wrote recently, “does have distinctive traits that do make [assimilation] difficult, if not impossible. This is . . . a matter of history.” That “history” holds that the U.S. robbed Mexico of its natural territory in the nineteenth century, as some Mexican immigrants never seem to forget. “It’s kind of scary,” says Santa Ana gang intervention officer Mona Ruiz. “I hear, ‘I was here first; this used to be Mexico. You stole it from us.’ ” Mexican-American Ruiz is herself called a “traitor” for becoming Americanized.

“I tried to knock the ‘Spanglish’ accent out of my niece and get rid of that crap,” he says. “But the mother was completely nihilistic about her child. It’s going to take direct action from Americans to Americanize Hispanics.”

Riiiiiight, like that wouldn't be taken as base white racism.

It's a bit late for American cultural help. La Raza has seen to that.

Sooner or later there are going to be armed American enclaves and bastions (or whatever gated communities morph into).
I don't think the people living there now realize they will be thrown out by the remnants of the American People.

I really wish I could be more optimistic. I will continue to pray that I am horribly wrong.
