But they did.
Sorry to say, the essay RLK wrote is exactly on target. And when the illegal aliens have effectively taken over "aztlan," they'll turn it back into a third-world barrio, to perfectly match the rest of Mexico. They're not smart enough to actually maintain (much less improve upon) the areas they've taken over. Their modus operandi is clear- overwhelm the local population, the local population leaves because they can't stand the filth and crime that the mexicans bring with them, and the mexicans then follow, looking for a handout, for under-the-table work, or for something good to steal.
Examined from another viewpoint, I don't have to respect the Mexicans. They're here illegally, their culture is one of being conquered (repeatedly), and have contributed nothing to the betterment of humanity. Funny thing- they hate it when you point out to them that, when they use the expression "la raza" (the race), they're describing themselves as "the race" in the language of their last conquerors...
Their only claim to fame is filth and corruption.
Is that racist...? Possibly. Is it accurate? Definitely.
