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.
I also substitute at the local high schools in my area and to tell the truth I find that the immigrant kids are BETTER behaved than the white or black kids with notable exceptions.
These exceptions being the Norteno-Sureno-Border Brothers types who want to"throw up their set"in the classroom.
Most Mexican kids are taught respect for elders in the home.Its a part of their cultural framework.Its the ones who are more"Americanized"that are more likely to be the wild ones.
