Do you mean "working class born-American taxpayers" with Mexican parents who are footing those bills too? I'm not defending Navito Lopez, by any means, but I think you are painting with a pretty large brush there. We have a $13 TRILLION economy to worry about, you know?

How about increased border enforcement AND increased levels of legal immigration? That sounds like a healthy compromise. And, I do think that more needs to be done to assimilate those already here - that's what has made America great.

P.S. I doubt South Coast Plaza wants to lose ANY business from it's share of a group that can afford to send $38 BILLION back home . . .

maybe they could set it up like one of those impromptu markets on the streets of Mexico City, just to make the Mexicans feel at home - then they can watch the whites flee with their $$$ to Fashion Island

What makes you think they shop at South Coast Plaza? They shop at Goodwill and other places away from the freeways. (they are cheaper.)

If you are sending money to Mexico, you can't afford to shop in SC Plaza.

What, exactly should WE do, to assimilate these people. How much more should we spend of our tax dollars to get these people to simply learn English? I work with a guy who has been here 15 years and he still can't speak English to where I can understand him.

They don't want to assimilate. They like the pandering just fine the way it is. They get all the freebies and we get the bill.
