Water cooler quote heard in my office today: "I don't care if they come to American and want to be Americans. I have a problem with them coming to America and wanting to be Mexicans."

Love it!

Indeed! Unlike the immigrants before them whom they often refer to, they seek to transplant Mexico here instead of joining the melting pot, learning English, and getting with the existing program.

If you ask me, probably the single worst thing about them coming here is that they utterly ruin neighborhoods by moving 2-4 entire families, often 20 or so people, into a single house. Apparently there's nothing that anyone can do about that. But who wants to live in a neighborhood with residents like that. It ruins the neighborhood and reduces property values.

Yes, there is. Some towns are starting to pass ordinances against this kind of thing. Pressure yours to do the same.

Call the zoning board and ask how many people are allowed in a single family home. If possible give the square footage. That's what we're doing in Northern CA.

It was great here today - shopping and driving 101 North hasn't been this easy to navigate in a very long time!
