Come on now, you are acting like they are ALL identical.
I am SURE there are PLENTY of Hispanic gang bangers out there in Ca., but that is more related to the environment out there. Around here, once in a while they will get too drunk, and commence to shooting one another, but they usually only shoot other Mexicans, and of course, usually a woman is involved.
Have you EVER tried to talk to one of them in their language??
How do you think they would react if you did?? Considering that they are in a foreign country and don't understand what ALL of us are saying...
I was in Paris and got treated like CRAP when I tried to speak French... I was just trying to order a beer.
LOL, sweet ratty.....a lot of us here can't understand you southerners either!!! Hmmm...er, sorry, sir. *teheeheee*
The behavior of any immigrant group depends on the size of the popultion. Italians in the major ports of entry like NY, Philly, New Orleans and Galveston had a completely different lifestyle than those who moved on into the rest of the country and scattered
It is the same with Hispanics

Foreign being the operative word. In my experience most of them have no desire to learn the language or to become a real part of America. they want to establish Mexico north. I'll give it to you that are different classes, but the majortiy of the ones I have seen that are civilized, English speaking, hard-working people with Christian values are not the illegals. Most of the Mexicans I see around here are loud, obnoxious, can't speak a word of English and a lot of them are dirty as well.
Don't completely misunderstand me. My daughter married a Mexican (legal), with my blessing. He is a fine young man. My grandson is half Mexican. I don't have a problem with the people themselves...not all of them. I do have a problem with them breaking our laws to get into this country then being parasites and costing taxpayers a fortune while people who try to get in legally are often denied or are put through so much red tape that they wait a very long time. I have a problem with rewarding lawbreakers. And I have a real problem with the uncontrollable population explosion this will cause. I have a problem with our quality of life suffering because of it. And I have a problem that these lawbreakers immediately find themselves "entitled" to services and funds that struggling Americans can't even get. All of these things adds up to extraordainary unfairness to Americans.
