What if the United States were pouring its poorest, least educated citizens across the border into Mexico? Could anyone be fooled into thinking that Mexico was being "culturally enriched?" What if the state of Chihuahua were losing its majority population to poor Whites who demanded that schools be taught in English, who insisted on celebrating the Fourth of July, who demanded the right to vote even if they weren't citizens, who clamored for "affirmative action" in jobs and schooling?
Would Mexico - or any other non-White nation - tolerate this kind of cultural and demographic depredation? Of course not. Yet White Americans are supposed to look upon the flood of Hispanics and Asians entering their country as a priceless cultural gift. They are supposed to "celebrate" their own loss of influence, their own dwindling numbers, their own dispossession, for to do otherwise would be hopelessly racist.
Who really is the racist in this dynamic ?

It's not just White Americans who are suffering from our country's refusal to enact existing immigration laws. All Americans, white, black, Native Americans, legal immigrants all suffer. My husband, who is white, and I have similar discussions all the time with the exception that we don't point specifically to Hispanics and Asians but to all illegal immigrants regadless of nation of orgin. Our current system isn't working for anyone.

If Americans did the same thing Mexicans are doing, they would be imprisoned or executed. mexico does not tolerate that kind of stuff.
Ask anyone from south of THEIR border what happens when they try to come into Mexico illegally, and even sometimes legally. Nope, Americans are the only ones stupid enough to allow that kind of behavior.

Since when are White people losing their influence? Have you looked around the ruling bodies of the US lately?

Mexico has some tough immigration laws, so I think the answer lies in that very clearly.

Americans are not racist. We can be fools at time. We need to get out of that mentality.
