I'd also like to tell you that in my state of Arizona, we like the Hispanic heritage. We like the food. We like the music. We like to have Hispanic influence on our state and we are enriched by it," he said, reminding her that similar fears greeted waves of Irish, Polish and other immigrants in generations past.

How about AZ freepers? Do you agree?

Yeah, we love the Mexican culture, or at least we used to when our Mexicans were 99% legal and spoke english (even with a charming accent). Phoenix and all of Arizona for that matter has always had a large population of Americans of Mexican descent.

McCain's problem is he has no idea what is happening here. He hasn't seen the billboards in spanish, he hasn't driven down the streets and seen the disposable diapers tossed out onto the streets, or the other litter, he hasn't seen the stores become filthy and unkempt, he hasn't watched old line neighborhoods being destroyed. He hasn't sat in traffic and watched cars turning left in a no left turn zone because they don't believe the laws apply to them.

BTW, most Americans of Mexican descent hate what is happening as much as the rest of us do. They left Mexico behind. They don't vote in Mexican elections, they don't speak spanish outside of their homes (some don't speak it at all), and they are proud of America.
