I've heard that the first generation Mexocan population does pretty well here. Unfortunately their offspring, the 2nd and 3rd generations, are the ones having the real trouble: gang membership, asimilation problems, radical. There was an excellent report on it on FOXNews the other night. It basically said our theory of "well, these families have traditional family values in common with us" is a myth. (At least with their kids, who have grown up to HATE America. Thanks to public school teachers.) BUMP
I know some just-over-the-border types. They all have fake SS id numbers, have a very low level of education, have drivers licenses, marry Americans if they can and have babies ASAP. A few are not at all interested in speaking English and they feel we should serve them in Spanish. There certainly may be other types but I haven't met any.
IMO if they get fake documents, they're all corrupt and are teaching bad values to their kids.
