What's wrong with Mexican guest workers being screened by the U.S. Government, issued a guest worker visa, coming for a specified length of time, picking the tomatos, collecting their pay and then going back to Mexico between jobs to enjoy their money?

Because we already have enough Hispanic culture injected into ours to last 100 years. It's spicy. It's flamboyant. It's enough.

Well, thanks, I represent that remark since I was born in Cuba.

The Nativists of the 1800's also said "Because we already have enough Irish, German, Scandinavian, Polish, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Jewish and Catholic culture injected into ours to last 100 years. It's spicy. It's flamboyant. It's enough."

In the 21st Century, however, outside of the Appalachian hollows, it is almost impossible to find an American that a 19th Century Nativist would consider untainted by "foreign influence" so, nowadays, a different dynamic is in play.

The fact that you are sick of Hispanics, however, does not change my point which is that Guest Workers GO HOME after the job is done.

So, I ask again:

If people of hispanic background want to come here and become Americans, support our constitution and the moral values and way of life that made it possible, speak our language, obey our laws, do their civic duty...I have no problem with that. We have people from all over the world still wanting to do that and I have no problem with it because they become Americans and base their lifes on the essence of what this country was formed to create.

But that is what they have to be willing to do. Short of that, they should not be living and working here as residents/citizens.

Come here on vacation if you want and can afford it...but then go home to your own culture and lifestyle. When you decide you want to be an American, with all that comes with it...then apply for citizenship through the legal means.
