Sorry, rose colored glasses don't work for me. I see emergency rooms overwhelmed, hospitals closing, one third of illegals on welfare, all those ridiculous Mexican flags, the shouts of reconquista! Aztlan, Gringos get out!, etc. Even if most of the kids' flag waving is adolescent rebellion, you'd think they'd see the irony. But no. They wave the flag of the nation they couldn't wait to run away from. How stupid is that.
Whole villages are now deserted now in Mexico. Poverty is spreading. The country is being depopulated. One quarter of its citizens are already here. One half of those remaining are packing for the trip north. That's the middle class. This is not good for Mexico, and anyone who thinks it is is nuts.
What else do I see? Fox and his pals taking a percentage of every dollar sent south and the billions now topping oil and drug revenue. I see Mexican soldiers helping drug/alien smugglers, shooting at US border patrol officers, invading the US seemingly with impunity.
I see people...some...not all... who don't want to assimilate. They think America should accomidate them. Speak Spanish, not English. The sad fact is that many think they'll go back 'home' once they've made enough money, but most realize in time that 'home' is a third world country filled with corruption and worse. So they don't go 'home'. They stay here. The kids eventually learn English, but many adults never do. This creates ghettos.
American culture, mores, customs, laws are being devalued, trashed, disregarded. We are an English speaking, Judeo/Christian nation with a Protestant work ethic. English binds us together. This is bedrock important. America is an idea, a mental thing, a state of mind, and if you look around the world, there's no other nation where people of so many cultures, countries, languages, manage to get along. Why? Because we assimilated them in smaller numbers and they learned English and US laws because they desired to be Americans. That's not what's going on now.
There is a demographic reality that you refuse to accept. You are in denial.
Meanwhile the the worker to retiree ratio is 3 to 1 and falling.
The reality is that the US will have a need to import labor. You can let them in as citizens, guest workers, illegals, or a combination there-of. You can let them in as mexicans, asians, africans, muslims, or any combination there-of. I'm sure that you would prefer them to come from Europe, but you see, for every european that comes to the US, Europe has to import one more muslim.
