how can anyone fault someone for wanting to make a better life for themselves and their family.

Whatever happened to America the melting pot?
It's not just Mexicans. Many of the new immigrants do not want to learn the language, expect everything to be handed to them on a platter, want dual citizenship, new laws that infringe upon others, everything for free, and more.

I live in a city with over 120 ethnic groups, and if I were "racist", or did not like diversity, I would move. It gets annoying, though, when you cannot even communicate with half the people you work with (and sometimes for!). I enjoy spending a little time on my lunch hour, in NYC, helping tourists with limited language skills find their way around. But, come on, we've got people that have been here for 20 or more years that can't speak English, much less read or write it, at all - and then there are the people that were BORN here that are just as bad, or worse.

This has been going on for some time - and itâ??s only getting worse. I don't mean to make scapegoats out of any one group - there are many that are not "melting" very well, if at all.
