Well, I wish I shared your optimism.

I do see that you're from Texas, and I think you have a different situation down there. I think Mexicans have a sense of entitlement to US jobs and services and don't see legal immigration as something they have to concern themselves with. I'm in NJ, with many Cuban, Puerto Rican and Asian immigrants. While there is definitely some anti-Americanism in these groups, I would say many in these groups that get here are glad to have arrived and usually assimilate, especially the Cubans.
