I am sorry for you and your small town and agree. The effects of immigration legal and illegal are overwhelming regions of our nation to such a degree that is unprecedented. But the Mexican illegals seem particularly hostile!
Thank you.
Honestly, I'm very open to new peoples and new cultures bringing positive change to this country which I love so much, but, as you've so truthfully said, "the Mexican illegals seem particularly hostile," and that's impacting us negatively.
I substitute teach in a local public high school and so I see their youth up close almost every day.
Overall, I'm not impressed and am, honestly, disappointed.
There's a huge amount of gang activity, drug use, jail/prison sentencing, and what may have begun in their culture as "family values" has evolved into reproducing too soon and too often.
A lady friend of mine, an American of Mexican ancestry, told me that she believes the illegals will become even more hostile if their freebies are taken away, that with all the entitlements they've gotten used to, they have literally found the pot of gold (at our expense), and they like it and will fight to keep it.
I find it unbelievable that President Bush continues to lie to the American people. He says that the hold-up on "immigration reform" is against the will of America. That is clearly NOT true, as evidenced by every poll and the talk on the street. Americans are sick of the sense of entitlement, and the in-your-face demands, from the invaders.
This is a first in our history, and America is ANGRY that our politicians continue to lie down and take it and continue to force us to pay for this big mess they've allowed to happen. The coming elections will bring some surprises to these cowards. This President doesn't seem to care about his legacy.
