I doubt that you see anything.
What culture might that be?
Shhhhh....don't let anybody else know that. It's a secret.
The anti-immigration crowd?? How about anti-invade America? You do understand the difference between legal and illegal correct?
Those of you who have turned your backs on this problem have been seriously wrong. Terrorism has made its way into the country, illegal drug smuggling and all the damage that it causes in increased crime and overdoses and death has gone on and on, the welfare system has been bogged down. I'm sure I could go on but people like you obviously dont listen.
Bush shouldnt have to get votes by telling people that it is ok to disregard the law and raid America.
What does anyone care?..We're all just a bunch of unworthy non-smoking, gun grabbin', homosexual marriage love'n liberals. < /sarcasm >

I was raised in New Mexico and I count many mexican friends as some of my best. One friend I grew up with graces the Wall in DC, and I make no distinction that his last name was Serrano.He and his four brothers are Americans through and through, and friends to boot.
Most Hispanic Americans have a strong work ethic, most Hispanic Americans believe in traditional family values, most Hispanic Americans believe in God, and a lot of Hispanic Americans, male and female, still believe a man should be a man and a woman should be a woman.
A lot of good reasons for them to forsake the DemocRATs - the party of the National Atheist Church of America, the party that approves of and condones intermarital infidelities and child murder, the party that seeks to emasculate men and masculinize women, and the party that believes in free handouts from those willing to work to those who are too lazy to do so.
When will we hear our Prez. speak Arabic? Or Chinese? C'mon, it's so... sensitive, so cosmopolitan, so... chique...
Good points and having grown up (39 yrs) in that environment I can attest to its truth. Hard for some to see however, which makes me wonder if they've ever really been around that atmoshere, even in a limited emotional way.
