This is great! Don't you love it when an article completely conveys exactly what you believe on an issue?

I don't understand why South Korea rose from the ashes of the Korean Conflict to become an industrial and economic powerhouse...

While Mexico with all its oil wealth and resources remains a piece of dog????

If he wants 'em to read this open letter, I'm afraid it's going to have to be in Spanish...

[muawiyah]

It's a very long swim from Pusan to San Francisco. Otherwise, they'd been here too.

Hey, looking around this neighborhood, THEY'RE HERE ANYWAY!

Every now and then there's an article in the local paper about how 50% of the Koreans around here are illegal aliens.

Besides that many illegals are also illiterate in their own language.

If you think it is bad now, wait and see what happens if the left wins the next elections in Mexico as now predicted. The flood of illegals will become a mass exodus.

Would you mind immigrating legally and learning English? Because, you see, our legal citizens are getting increasingly fed up with your criminal relocation dreams.

AMEN!

• Having their ranches’ fencing routinely cut and vandalized. • Having to pick up your pill bottles, used needles and syringes. • Having to find the half eaten remains of their pets left from one of your impromptu BBQ’s. • Having their homes burglarized. • Having their daughters raped. • Having their vehicles stolen. • Having their property value plummet. • Having their sedate streets become unsafe requiring their children to be placed under lock and key after sunset. • Having to pick up and discard Muslim prayer rugs and literature strafed about the place. [BTW . . . when did so many Catholic Mexicans convert to Islam? I didn’t get that brief. Would you explain that to me?] • Having the arduous and unpleasant chore of scraping human feces off their front lawns in the morning.

Clearly this man is a racist!!!!!

Do I have to put a sarcasm tag on this?

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I know. I predict things are going to get worse. A lot of them are flooding in because the stupid guest worker program was put out there for consideration. They are trying to get in here to take advantage of it in case it is voted in.

This needs to be translated, printed and air dropped over our "potential guests" to the south.

One word: Culture

[Doohickey]

It's "agua" not "aqua"

[Capriole]

Maybe the Koreans are here already, but (a) every last one of them is incredibly hard-working, (b) they're demanding next to nothing of our welfare and Medicaid programs, (c) they quickly buy houses and start paying property taxes, (d) there is almost no problem with crime or drugs in the Korean community, and (e) their kids assimilate in ten minutes and start doing very well in school, requiring no special programs. If you're going to have immigrants, they're the kind to have. We have a substantial Korean community near us and they're pretty much all married, Christian, and hard-working. You'll never see one of them being frisked by a cop at the side of the road.

One word: Culture

But since America is the richest country on earth, your logic would suggest that we have the best culture in the world.

You can be expecting a visit from the Multiculturalism PC Gestapo at any moment!

[mr_hammer]

Very well said!

[waiver]

One word: Culture

Two words : Free Markets. Indeed, people in North Korea are starving right now, even though they have exactly the same culture and they're the same ethnic group. Not to mention the fact that until the 80's Mexico was richer than South Korea.

Ireland, Spain,Portugal,Greece ,Singapore and Taiwan became rich countries in the last 30-10 years without having to change their cultures

Terrific piece. I like Doug Giles's straightforward yet cynical style. Reminds me of a certain FReeper.

Especially good: Look, if you want to come here and visit, work or possibly live in the US of A, you must understand that it is a privilege. Be very clear on one fact: it is NOT a right. We don’t have to do anything.

We didn't get to vote in the Mexican election. Why don't you mind your OWN country, Vicente?
