Food for thought from Fred.

Worse for America, much worse, is that far too many of them perform terribly in school. Dropout rates are very high, auguring ill for the future. Mexicans are not an academic people (as, increasingly, neither are Americans). In the barrios, their Spanish is barbarous. So is their English. Crime is high. The press will not talk much about crime, but the police know.

The liberals have done their damnedest to keep the immigrants in ESL classes and therefore down in the barrio, oh and voting Democrat, too.

If the Europeans had any sense (and obviously they don't), they'd be importing Mexicans instead of Muslims to bolster their decreasing populations.

A Mexican is more likely to say, 'They are such a cold people. They don’t know their neighbors. They don’t know their children. They have no fiestas. Rules and being on time are more important to them than other people. They have no religion.'

"He knows the government left him alone in Mexico, which is his definition of freedom. And mine."

And mine!

And did you say all you nice people were planning to vote Republican?

Hold it while I run get the welcome mat!

While Mexicans are good people, their dregs often are not

OK, fred makes a case against mexican immigrants. But should we shut mexicans out and let chinese in. Every complaint in this article is not true of chinese and indian immigrants. Further, a lot of people don't even want the H1-Bs coming here who share nothing with the mexican dregs.

Fred has written favorable on the east asian immigrants, so he is not inconsistent.

But a lot of people on the immigrant issue are not consistent. Some say keep the mexicans out as they are too low class and keep the h1b's out because they are too smart. Others say let the mexicans in because they vote democrat, and keep the asians and europeans out because they vote republican.

Right on target. We ignore the implications to our peril.

The Mexicans who go north are the losers, the failures, the barely if at all literate, those with little to offer.

The above people are who came to America in 1620 and 1776, they are the people called "Your huddled masses." Thank God we have set up a country to help LOSERS become WINNERS.

While Mexicans are good people, their dregs often are not. On average the immigrants are uncultivated, uneducated, and of low intelligence.

He's making a mistake here. The "dregs" make up the majority of the Mexican population. He's seeing the typical Mexican as well-off or comfortable, when 51% of the population lives in poverty and another 20% lives in extreme poverty, according to the World Bank. You can't define a people based on 30% of its population.
