Did you know that, including illegals, this wave of hispanic/mexican immigration is larger by raw numbers and by percentage of the whole than any other wave of immigrants ever in the US? Why should hispanics and specifically mexicans be given preference in our immigration policies?

We shouldn't even call this phenomenon a wave at this point, because it has been constant for over a decade. Mexico is depending on sending hundreds of thousands of illegals indefinitely just to keep its head above water. There is absolutely no end in sight. Mexico would have to grow at 9% per annum just to get unemployment under control. China's not even growing that fast, and Mexico's growth is something like 2-3%. There's a huge gap that they expect and demand us to fill, as though it were our responsibility and not theirs.
