["Andy Amago" <aamago@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How many Hispanics do you know that you think they're so admirable?  If
their culture is so satisfying, why are they streaming north?  The proof
that Hispanic culture is dysfunctional is that they don't know the meaning
of the word legal.  They do what they want.  Do you think you'd like to
live in a country that doesn't know the meaning of legal?  Do you think
you'd like to live in Mexico?  If you did, you'd be regulated.  As far as
the Mexicans are concerned, what's theirs is theirs, what's ours is
negotiable, or more accurately, is theirs too.  On top of which, why don't
they even try to fix their own country instead of demanding rights in
another country?  Yup, great culture.
