Void, I thought your were 'done with this thread'?
$lacker, the numbers posted represent all immigrants not just those from Mexico. If they hate the US so bad, why try to move here? They want a piece of the pie - which I don't blame them. Why bash the US government when it is their own government that needs to step up and try to improve their countries economy? The top dog is always has threats from those who inspire to be top dog.
Like I said before, even if they don't like our policies/government/attitude, they still have the freedom and luxury to come to the US and become what they want because of our FREEDOM here...that was fought and paid for by our ancestors. You don't get that in a lot of other countries - "freedom". The problem is is that too many Americans don't want to work hard like our ancestors did and make something of themselves. It is truly a welfare state/country for far too many. Its sad. Apathy has set in and it is scary. This is why government has grown so easily and quickly. In some cases I don't blame people for the apathy they have. It is because they lack confidence in our politicians doing the 'right' thing (on both sides). Even though I may agree, I am not going to give up the fight.
I am not hear to argue but to have a conversation. As you can tell I am not happy with the way our government has grown and how they have are 'bought/influenced' by special interest groups (again, both sides). Do I think this will change with this election, no, but I have not lost faith in this great country of ours.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend! Enough of my hot air.
