There is a difference between assimilating and being assimilated random thoughts Send a noteboard - 27/04/2010 04:09:19 PM
I have nothing against Mexican Americans and I think they are a vital part of the South West culture but there has to be some reasonable limit. If I wanted to move to Mexico I would but I don’t want Mexico to move here. You may not mind being a minority and having the culture you grew up in regulated to a minority culture but that really isn’t a choice you can make for the rest of us. If Texas becomes a majority Hispanic state it will do more then just change the radio stations and throw up more Fiesta grocery stores. Massive illegal immigration of under educated and low skill workers will drag Texas down the same shit hole California is sinking into with a welfare and unlivable inner cities. No thanks.

What I find interesting about all this... - 26/04/2010 01:06:08 PM 937 Views

my point was that the punishments for the similar crimes are so different. - 26/04/2010 04:23:08 PM 807 Views

the "overrunning" of culture and language is exaggerated, imo - 26/04/2010 04:34:56 PM 865 Views
I think the primary problem - in both cases - is language, yes. - 26/04/2010 04:54:55 PM 885 Views
*shrug* I don't know. I just think that people are way too uptight about the issue - 26/04/2010 05:02:30 PM 818 Views
