"Why should the greatest nation on earth not want to help those who strive for better."

Very nice thought and in a perfect world it might work. But since we live in an imperfect world, just how long do you think it would be before this was Mexico north? It wouldn't BE a land of opportunity any more because the entire dynamic would change. It is bad enough as it is. Maybe if these people are so dissatisfied they should focus on making their own country a better place to be.

Again, I am shocked that people think America is so weak that a culture born of Mexico would overtake our own. I have more faith in America. I believe that over time America morphs into different thing while holding true to its core principles. America today is different than it was at any other time. You people are scared that our nation is so weak, that a bunch of immigrants can so easily destroy it.
