>>”underclass?”
woe to us who now use this highbrow terminology to couch our bigotry.<<

I find the term “underclass” quite appropriate, and not in the least “bigoted.”

They do not speak English and display little willingness to learn it.

They have the highest illegitimacy rate of any minority.

They have the lowest educational level and the poorest occupational skills of any minority.

They have the highest crime rate of any minority.

They will undoubtedly make the (proportionately) highest use of our social benefits, while at the same time making the lowest contributions to it.

America does not need to import this new underclass.

They? Who are they?

We all know you are talking about Mexican immigrants, so let me correct you, if I may, by way of some experience.

The overwhelming majority of Mexican immigrants I meet insist on learning and speaking English, and several have told me so explicitly, politely stating that they'd prefer that than speaking to me in Spanish.

Those I have worked with demostrated unfailing aptitude for any task given them, and a creditable work ethic.

All were unswervingly devoted to their families. Most were far better at attendance than any of the white men I worked with.

In short they possessed in admirable fashion the makings of great citizens, ones I would be proud to call fellow Americans. Incidentall, if allowed to vote, "they" would vote largely republican.

Your remarks are woefully misinformed. They certainly don't jive with my experience, and frankly I trust the veracity of that far more.

Unless your ancestors came over on the Mayflower, and perhaps even if they did, someone, somewhere, called them "underclass," too.

You strike me as an out and out bigot and your sentiments are a scourge to conservatism.
