Are you stupid? Do you think Americans are going to give up sections of their country just because the majority is populated by illegal trespassers? Mexico is basically staging a civilian invasion and we're just going to let them? I think not.Turquoise wrote:
I'm not disagreeing with you; I'm just saying that, ethnically, parts of California may become so similar to Mexico that it will be difficult to draw a line between what is owned by America and what is owned by Mexico.
The thing is... America is falling in its standard of living while Mexico is rising. Eventually, we may meet in the middle economically, but this will take decades. When and if it does happen, there really won't be much of a difference between us -- at least in the border areas.
Again, what I'm stating applies to demographics here. Because we get both heavy legal and heavy illegal immigration from Mexico and the rest of Latin America, there are areas of our country on or near the border that will become very similar to Mexico at least in culture.
A lot of what happens depends on what the legal Hispanic immigrants choose to do. Will they stand up for the rule of law, or will they help their relatives illegally enter our country and burden our systems?
I think you and I would probably agree on what we should do, but what's actually going to happen is another matter entirely. There may end up a fight, but who's to say who would win?...
