Irrational drivel.

But there was ONE line I found interesting as it (possibly) confirms my own observations.

The one about Mexicans comprising 60% of the illegal’s in the U.S.
I want the other 40% deported too, no matter Where they are from or what “Colour” they might be.
No exceptions.

Pass AZ type immigration enforcement, and ask EVERYONE who has “contact” with the police about their immigration status.
Maybe that way we can detect and kick out more of that other 40%!

I will tolerate the umbrage of having MY own citizenship questioned if it leads to deportation of illegals from all countries and of any “race”.

The amazing thing about this statement is that the writer claims to know! With the Census and practically every other agency of USG lying vigorously about every population, crime, or economic statistic that people use to make political and voting decisions, neither the writer nor anyone else can trust government numbers on immigration and demographics.

The real number of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. is much higher than those bruited by the Census Bureau. You have all the persons amnestied in 1986, to begin with, and then all the subsequent illegal immigrants. Including just their first generation descendants, you're talking about upward of 30,000,000 people. That is a hell of a lot of people!

And what do you do with children born in transit or on US soil? They grow up culturally Mexican in Mexican households; just how strong is their claim either to US citizenship or to an American cultural identity? They aren't like fifth- or sixth-generation Mexican immigrants from the 19th- and early-20th-century immigration wave. Much less do they resemble the Spanish populations that became American by reason of Texas independence (Mexico ruled Texas for only 14 years) or, 12 years later, the Mexican War.

The political grito "the border crossed us" applies only to the Spanish settlers in Texas, New Mexico, and California who became US nationals by war and treaty. And, arguably, Florida, the Louisiana Territory, and Puerto Rico. All of whom are long dead!
