You have just put your finger on the real problem. I don't think as Americans we dislike the Mexicans, it's just that we have allowed some of the poorest of the poor into our country and employers are more than willing to keep it that way. It's as if we'd invited all the residents of Callcutta, India, all the starving in Zimbabwe, etc. to be our neighbors. No country can survive such a large percentage of poor. Our social services are already overwhelmed now. Get ready to reside in a third world country. It's coming!

Huh the people who came through Ellis Island wern't exactly Rockefellers.

I guess to you it is time to dismantle the National Monumnet at Ellis Island.

"the people at Ellis Island we're not exactly Rockefellows."

You missed the point, I'm afraid. the subject was about social services. The immigrants of Ellis Island (some of my ancestors were) were tested for TB, and other communicable disesase. Many of them were sent back. They had to have a SPONSOR who agreed to care for them if they were unable to. We have TB on the border in spades now, and in the prisons, much of it the drug resistant kind. Oh, and they had to learn English.
