"I live in Ohio, too, and it will affect us, too, if it hasn't already"
It has, and it will. My first comment was sort of tongue in cheek. It won't affect us as dramatically, as quickly, but the United States of Mexico is coming.
I was born in,Ohio and grew up in Jackson County, now live in Alleghany County N. C.
Don't think for a minute that Ohio will escape the Hispanics.
N.C. per capita has the fasting growing Latino population of any state in the Union [last years figures].
