So they're the "useful idiots" of the Reconquistas. That doesn't change the fact that those who illegally enter our country are criminals right off the bat, and from there they're a drain on our resources. I don't care how bad someone's life is in Mexico, if they want into our nation, they'd doggone well better follow the rules we've laid down to do it. After all, I want to improve my life, but I'm not gonna break into peoples' homes and rip them off in order to do it.
Though I don't buy into the "we're a nation of immigrants" crap (heck, I was born here, as were my family for several generations back, my girlfriend's family for several generations back, etc.), I don't mind folks legally immigrating. If a Mexican family wants to come here legally, learn the language, be productive, pay taxes, assimilate into our culture, and become citizens of the United States of America, I'll welcome them with open arms.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Yes, they are the useful idiots, and when the Aztlan leaders decide it's time to mobilize, I'm afraid they'll be right on board.

Check my posting history... you'll see you're preaching to the choir.

As the son of a legal immigrant (from Nazi Germany), I don't think that's crap! But like you said, if you come here, it should be legally and you should renounce any loyalty to your nation of birth and become an assimilated American citizen. My mother speaks better English, with no accent, than many millions who were born here.
