That's your problem.
Mexican-Americans have as much right to be here as any other citizen.
Only the illegal immigrants should be discussed here. The percentage of illegal immigrants in California is much smaller than 33%.
No, it's everybody's problem.
America is like a ship: it can only handle so many passengers.
Fact: social services are strained to the breaking point because so many of these, legal and illegal, receive welfare, etc.
Fact: many hospitals are shutting down their emergency rooms (three in my immediate area) largely because of the flood of immigrants, legal and illegal, demanding free medical services.
Fact: housing prices are going through the roof in many communities, because immigrants, legal and illegal, are straining the market.
Granted, they are not all Mexican, but, the issue we are discussing is whether or not they have a right to be here. (The illegals and incoming, that is.)
The problem is that GW is going to grant blanket amnesty to all illegals. That's the issue.
The problem is that current, existing immigration laws are not being enforced. That's the problem.
Uh, excuse me. I never said immigration laws should be enforced retroactively.
And I sure never said Mexican-Americans should be deported. (From which script are you reading?)
