Living here, I can tell you in all seriousness he's probably right (100,000 in Nashville). The southern part of or town has been totally overrun. It's Mexico City North. Having one of the best, most diverse economies in the US draws folks (citizens and illegals) like flies.
At least we have really good choices in Mexican restaurants!
Twenty percent of Nashville is Illegals? Sorry don't buy it.
Link just in case Mr Happy asks for it.

Yes, we do have good Mex restaurants....El Palenque at Green Hills for real Mole....and they stayed open during the Great May Day Boycott.....that place out at OHB and 70 is good too.
The best are the mom and pop joints in outlying hamlets.
