You shouldn’t fear Mexicans, but you should definitely fear Mexican culture—look what it did to Mexico.

We have more to fear from Democrats than Mexicans.

Great point!

You are right about Mexican culture. Corruption was at its Spanish founding. The royals in Spain expected their officials to steal, but not too much, to supplement their income in Mexico. Mexican people, individuals that is, I adore.

The son of my Mexican landlord ( here in Mexico) proudly proclaimed that he worked illegally after college in London before settling down to be a financial adviser.

If only Mexico had been founded by good protestant Calvinists like the pilgrims:) (Speaking as a Catholic, we did not do the world very well in the Americas.

I’m not worried too much about the Mexicans, it is their dim co-conspirators that worry me.

I live in National City, right next to San Diego. I'm here because it's the only place around here where I can afford a decent apartment (a one-bdrm $1,025/month). The population is 67% Mexican. I'm not afraid of them because I rub elbows with them every time I leave my unit.

When I first got stationed at Altus, OK, I was still in my prime and built like the proverbial "brick outhouse" - and back then my Indian heritage showed with a rich reddish brown tan. Walked into a local bar for some beer and pool and there were 5 Mexicans sitting at a table and nobody else in the place except the bartender. They looked at me and whispered among themselves and one of them got up and walked over to me and then around me and finally stopped in front of me. He looked me in the eye and said, "We was discussing whether you was a White boy because that would have concerned us". I replied, "No problem, I was half afraid Y'all might be Mexicans and that would have concerned me."

They guy looked at me, then at the table with the others and they started rolling with laughter which flustered him for a second and then he joined in - had a decent day drinking beer and kicking their asses on the pool table.

I later found out the local joke was, "How do you define a Texan - a Mexican on his way to Oklahoma".

The bar was just a skip and scurry from "The projects" but that's a whole other story...
