Your comment is interesting particularly since I perceive you to be a realist generally while Texans think they can solve illegal immigration by erecting walls. Have you considered that the Texans consider immigration to be a threat to their economic well being and a loss of jobs for the native born while we are working in foreign lands and presumably replacing the native born here. In my opinion, immigration is just a natural response to economic forces. It was when Genghis Khan conquered China and it still is today. |

What I should of wrote was that I would like to be in a state where the majority are white, proud and enjoy living and working an live as a community (never been there so this is just a perception).
Perhaps 'mentality on immigration' was the wrong phrase. America finds itself in a tight situation on labour and immigration issues; if the Mexicans left, or were forced to leave, the economy would fail. But you will always find hard liners on border lands, it is an inevitable consequence of territorial boundaries. |

Re IMMIGRATION - I'd say it's better to keep such 'debates' off of here since they almost inevitably contravene the basic rules and will get threads locked and members blocked.
They are also a pointless and futile waste of time and energy. |

Thank you for your valuable input.
Personally, I think Texas, and Texans would never let their city become a social experiment like that of Detroit where 80 percent of the population was black - But perhaps too late? We don't use the title 'President' anymore, just 'OBAMA!'. |

| Not going to argue with you - you're entitled to your opinion but this is not the place. I would hate to see the mods come down heavy handed over this non-issue. |
