All of these are assumptions, you assumed they couldnt speak english and had no jobs and on welfare. But you dont know for a fact. You should not generalize. There are good and bad in every race. What about white trash? Or trailer park trash or whatever you want to call the people who hang out on their front steps wearing wife beater t-shirts? Being poor doesnt mean you are a bad person. I am not oblivious to the situation, I am in deep s. texas and see it everyday. I also make frequent trips to Mex. and see the devastation over there. It is no wonder they all want to come over here. Desperate Mothers and Fathers will do anything to feed their children. Have you every put your kids to bed at night crying because they are hungry? Have you ever had to worry your newborn wouldnt make it cause you couldnt afford to give them basic medidal attention, like immunizations for chickenpox, etc...? Does your house/apt have indoor plumbing? After you take a crap can you run outside and see your sh*t floating in the bar ditch? Try to help the situation, not heighten it to near panic.

OK first off. Mexicans aren't the only ones that cross the border illegally. There are people from all over the world in the U.S that are here illegally. I worked along side an immigration attorney. I would see Russian, African, LATIN, Canadian..you name it , they were here. They too, spoke but a "lick " of english. There are americans that dont even speak proper english! Mexicans originate from mexico, latin people from all over the world. Once again, not all latin people are mexican. Say there weren't any illegalls in the u.s. You are telling me that White people arent dirty or leave their trash out in the streets. They dont even have more then 1 child. Hmm.. I just saw a tv show and this family had 14 kids. But its ok, because they are legal here ..correct??? Or wait, let me guess your probably saying Americans. Well guess what? The U.S. , Mexico and Canada are in AMERICA. Not EVERYONE lives in Laguna Beach. You have your crackheads, your prostitutes, hell you even have white supremacists(still) in this day and age. I think before you complain a little, you learn about what in which you are speaking about , sounds oh so ignorant.

Now did you go up to these people and ask if they were all a family? Could they have been friends or a couple of families together? Do you know they are here illegally? Did you ask? Just because they may have been speaking spanish does not mean they are illegal. I was born and raised here, as were my parents, but our roots come from Mexico and Spain. When my family and I get together we speak Spanish and we are not illegal. I speak to my kids in Spanish also so they will learn the language. Don't judge what you don't know.

I bet you hate blacks,asians and anyone else who is not white. They work for a living, that is why they CAN afford electronics that you can only dream of. Since they all have 10 kids each, this means that soon they will be the majority in this country. They're probably born here,which means they are usa citizens and they are going nowhere. Those 10 kids will each have 10 more kids of their own and then they will be trying to kick your white *** out of this country. Natural selection. There is power in numbers, so maybe you should go bone as many white trash as you can(you probably already are) or else face extinction. This is reality,and you can't stop it. Get off welfare and get a job so you can get a cellphone.

Maybe it's jealousy, I get that alot with my husband; he is Mexican and we both work very hard to get what we have. Don't hate or discriminate your just putting yourself in that class of people who are totally ignorant to individual cases. NOT ALL MEXICANS are breeding like crazy and buying up the stuff you can't afford. Racists people are just uninformed to the unknown, and it's a shame that this is what the immigrants who built this country risked their lives for.

There is a solution.
Many polititions believe that it would be way to expensive to build a large wall/fence between the USA and Mexico.
But in a recent study, it was discovered that there is an abundant amount of cheap labor very close to the Mexican/American border :O.

I'm not racist.
I just get a little scared of what these weird people might do. It may not seem normal for a while but you will get used to it.

Just picture yourself in their shoes.. it's simple as that.
Know one of these families personally, now their personal drama, their homes, their dreams, and be amazed that they are really just people like yourself, with the same needs, hopes and dreams.
Then you would feel ashamed for having the feelings you have now, even though your feelings are understandable.. but that doesn't make them right.

I feel sorry for you ! I suggest you start with an education for yourself before you start complaining about other people's English.
("THEIR garbage", "THEIR lifestyle", "THERE was a family",....)
Most of these hardworking immigrants probably already speak better English than you do, you ignorant bigot.
