That's why so many of their children enlist...
NOT!!!!
Not one of their natural born citizen babies have or will ever serve, they think it's beneath them they don't even respect US culture, and the only way their natural born citizens would ever serve is if they brought back the draft!!!! Their children born here are legal citizens, I have heard them tell their kids "Do not ever elist in the militray, this country is S**** and we are entitled to getting what we want without letting our children die to protect it"! I have heard this from them... you are dillusional!
U.S. consular sources told IPS that more than 200 people, mainly ''campesinos'' or peasant farmers, visited U.S. consulates and embassies in Mexico between Mar. 20 - the day the attack on Iraq was launched - and Apr. 1, with the intention of enlisting in the U.S. armed forces. That despite the fact that the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City carried out a media campaign explaining that only legal residents or U.S. citizens could enlist.

Someone forgot to tell these Mexicans that:
Mexicans on the front line

I'm sure many wouldn't but then again many US citizens dodged the draft during Vietnam. That just proves that in any group there are those who are not willing to make that sacrifice.

Ok how the hell does it still dispute the fact they broke a law and snuck over to get in this country?
Globalization means that soon, we, too, might be working for pennies an hour. It’s like Adam Smith in reverse: trade with people less free than you, and your own freedom is threatened.
Soon the Hispanic population will gain the upper hand in dealing with this problem,
but that doesn't change the fact that illegal immigration is pushing us all down the economic ladder.
