Regardless, Mexicans and other Latin Americans don't represent the kind of threat to Western Civilization that the immigration swamping Europe do for Europeans.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't enforce the borders, but it is certainly an entirely different kind of issue. And we can be thankful for that.

Blast from the past, words of wisdom as 'immigrants' pour across our border who may or may not intend to hold any allegience to the United States: Theodore Roosevelt (1907) on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in every fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes any flag, which symbolizes war against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes all foreign flags of any nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American Nation and its people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907

WRONG. the situation is very similar. There is longer any legal immigration from Mexico. They have their own culture, watch their own TV shows, speak their own language, and even the 2nd and 3rd generations think of themselves as Mexican, NOT AMERICAN.
What will happen in a few years when illiterate parents have illiterate kids, and they too are on welfare?
