I just love all the peace-and-Kumbaya spread about our illegal Mexican residents. There are enough here in America to have a critical mass of activists that would spark a significant portion to intifada if they had a good reason.
Perhaps the grandkids of our 20 million nation-within-a-nation Mexicans will assimilate, but a LARGE portion of those illegally here care nothing more about America than (a) what $$ they can earn and (b) maintaining their culture in the face of ours and refusing to assimilate.
I'm all for America being the land of opportunity for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses, but their goal should be to become Americans, not illegal guest workers.
