The author of this article is obviously not very well traveled. In Southern California, you can go into a WalMart or other similar mainstream stores and find many employees that do not speak English.

I don't mean limited English. I mean no English as in being completely incapable of understanding any question, no matter how slowly or simply put, that an English speaking person might ask.

This is not in a border town. Contrary to the writer's impression, it is not cute. It is a pain.

The Wal Mart just north of the TJ/SD border at San Ysidro makes all its PA announcements in Spanish first, then English. I also here that they have begun accepting pesos at the register. You go out into the parking lot and half the cars have "BC Mexico" plates on them.

It's just an observation but I see the anger at illegals far greater among California Freepers than Texas ones.

How much of the problem is related to stupid state policy?

And I'm not saying Texas Freepers are happy about illegal immigration.
