But Hernandez, who became a U.S. citizen two years ago, says he is just following the values his mother instilled in him. His mother was so proud of her Mexican heritage that when she went into labor with him, she traveled to a hospital across the border to retain the family's "Mexican nationality."

But she sure wasn't too proud of being Mexican to cash those American wellfare checks. We need to look long and hard at the kind of people we're letting into this country. Immigration worked in the past because they had to make a break with the old country when they came here. Now Mexicans can just make a 5 minute trip across the border, or hell why even bother there's so many illegal mexicans they just create their own taxpayer subsidized version of Mexico inside the US.

Why do I care? Because the American system no longer protects individuals. If we let in enough anti-Americans who do not share out values of self-reliance or capitalism, they can continue to transform our country into the third world socialist hellhole they left. Don't we have a right to our own country? If Mexico was so bad that they fled it illegally to come here, why do they try to recreate it anew here?
