I'm not against importing any culture. Hell, our 'culture' is by definition multi-cultural. But, I draw the line at being illegal. Again, they had a choice: they choose to break the law. fuck them.

Donger,
Your 'let's be tough' attitude is what props up the underground. Dependence on the underground is what keeps many Latinos from assimilating. Non-assimilation is why bussinesses are catering to Spanish speaking people.
This is what I meant by a complicated situation.
If we change our idiotic laws about immigration, you won't need to guard the boarders so closely. Building a wall is a doomed proposition.
Also, you say they had a choice. Many of them don't feel that they did. If you had it within your power to give your daughter a life as retail store manager, or as a prostitute, which would you 'choose'?
