Nah, too many people out there simply hate Mexicans for that to happen. Can you blame them for wanting to come here with what this country has to offer in terms of wages, schools and other economic benefits? Most of them don't break the law, they mind their business and they are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. They will do jobs that some Americans won't do and if you don't believe me try taking a trip through some trailer parks and housing projects where able bodied people can be seen hanging out doing nothing. With an unemployment rate of 4.6% if you don't have work it's mostly because you don't want it, don't care for the pay scale or are so hopelessly pathetic that no one wants you. The perversion that occurs is through the welfare system that exists that makes it possible for people to live off the government.

Illegal immigration is bad for a host of reasons and I don't support it but there is also a ton of anti-Mexican prejudice out there that some people want to pretend doesn't exist.

Here in So. Calif we've lived with the illegal problem for years as a part of everyday life. We either learned to live with it or move. After 4 moves I came to realize it was me that was going to have to change.

The past few years I've learned a little compassion goes a long way in helping you get some of what you want. It's my believe George and Barbara Bush taught this to their children at an early age as they demonstrate compassion in their everyday actions. Unfortunately some see this as spineless or call them wimps. In my eyes it's the namecallers that need to do a little growing up and learn what compassion is. They may need some themselves one of these days.
