Too true. As new studies are proving. That commie Franken likely used them to win in MN.

No, most did not. I lived in Mexico for a couple of years when I worked for a US company with a facility down there. Most of the people coming across really just want a better life. However, they are immediately indoctrinated by the system or those who advocate the system to become burdens on society - that happens on both sides of the border, with some being enticed to depart their home to come to the US so that they can get benefits and send them home. Few do so of their own volition. The Hallings spend quite a bit of time in Mexico and may have an opinion on this (although they are over in the Baja, so the "surfer" attitude might be more pronounced).

It is true that the numbers are so large so as to inhibit integration. And the "do-gooders" have done everything that they can to stifle integration. This is radically different from previous waves of immigrants, where families insisted that the younger generation learn English, and adopt the cultural norms of the US.

There are already large enclaves in the US (nearly every major city) which are wholly Spanish speaking. Even in the nineteenth and early 20th centuries this was not the case - yes, there were large enclaves of Germans, Italian, even Chinese, but even there you could speak English and be understood.
