Why are you still arguing over this? Why are some of you still discriminating against people of Hispanic descent if I already stated my position in all of this? I am against illegals as well, but then Rockpuck had to get personal and start insulting an entire group of people just to anger a potential troll.

Austin Texas is the Progressive hub of the state. Most Texans I talk to hold Austin with a sort of contempt.. Every state has to have their weak spots I guess.

This is exactly what we had hoped for.
The chances of actually getting caught are one in a million, but the fear of getting caught gives rise to compliance with the law, and they leave - good luck Nevada and New Mexico (California can go hang).
If the numbers leaving become statistically significant (and not just "USA Today" signficant) - then the effect on crime levels will be interesting to see.
With 20% of my local county's jail filled with illegals who have committed a serious crime, we are expecting a reduction in the crime stats. This is a personal observation, nothing more, but my wife runs yard sales to raise money for charity, and when they see a truck full of "non locals" pull up they know that items will start going into pockets unpaid. That's simply how it is down here, we call it the Tijuana Express - if your stuff isn't nailed down in Phoenix, it makes like a goose and heads south for the winter.
Petty theft and DUI are the 2 biggest problems we face, the first is only a nuisance but the second is costing lives, and a little talked about fact is that in the latino culture, men who drive while heavily intoxicated are generally admired for doing so.

YAAAYY!!!!!
And all it costed was alienating your Hispanic/American citizens.
No, WRONG!!! I resent that remark! Mexicans are the burrito bloated obese people and Americans are morons, thank you! Ha! (just havin' a lil fun, keepn' the sanity!) I think John Lennon may have been right after all.

Mexicans are morons. It could be the average 6th grade education they receive, or maybe something in the water .. but the level of intelligence is seriously in poor shape.
Not all Mexicans are morons, as I'm guessing that not all Americans are obese pieces of lard.
You shouldn't be making general statements.
(there's fat people and morons in EVERY country). Right?
Now, that they are going to other States that will "house" them (I hope its those states and cities who called for boycotting us) we will see how much the people will put with what we border states have to put up with.....time will tell!

C. Both are Equally Important
The arbitrary lines drawn up by the corporation known as the USA and also by Mexico are pretty much pretend divisions that are as contrived as any.
If stopping immigration is so important then the people who don't like Mexican immigrants should also be campaigning for all kinds of border controls on the border of their state. Then once those state borders are firmed up they can move on to control immigration into their metro area. And finally their neighborhood. Blocking movement, trade, and freedom of travel is such a good thing therefore that will be a good thing?
I'm sorry if borders and blockades are bad at the local level which hopefully people can see then they are bad at the national level for all the same reasons! There is no reason to think that just because you change the scale everything needs to be controlled.

Oh.... being Mexican is not a racial issue. They are not a "race" but an "ethnic group."

Ah yes. Because any darker skinned person who disagreed with your view must be an "Uncle Tom."
It couldnt possibly be their own considered opinion.
