I am a veteran, and am an officer in our local American Legion post. Over the years I have had the opportunity to speak with a great many veterans, from a wide range of posts, and most of the veterans with whom I spoke who were immigrants, primarily from Mexico, all said, almost to a man, that if there were a war between the United States and Mexico, they would fight on the side of Mexico. Their common comment was that Mexico was "La tierra de mi madre," or "The land of my Mother." They said their allegiance is to their ancestral country rather than to their adopted country; but a handful did say that it depended upon what the war was being fought about.

The IOC needs to investigate and if they see guilt in Mexico, throw Mexico out of the Olympics as penalty for praising terrorists.

Wow, that was quite a statement made by Mexicans and what is the failure in gaining citizens from next door.

They leave, but it is easy to come back, so no allegiance is formed.

When you live in Europe or Asia, lot's of more trouble to come and go. Makes for a more determined immigrant who wants to stay here IMO!

I am disappointed in the Mexicans who said they would choose Mexico.
I think they are great family people and we should be grateful we don't live next door to Muslim head-hunters.

Mexicans:
Kill lots of people at their own southern boarder.
Have done nothing to change the corrupt system they have and seem to change heads of power between their mob family heads.

What you said was a disappointing truth to hear 6...

I want oil still in exchange for all these paid benefits for their people here in America.
Or at least free gardening and lavor for all citizens of the US who have to withstand the draw on our public funds by them.
