That is just the problem, a lot of them don't want to be equal, and they

You have no idea who "they" are, what their demographics are, what their motivations are, why they are or aren't here. You just have some vague idea of the boogeyman conjured from things you remember reading, from images you might've seen on tv, from things you've heard, maybe a few people you've seen and frankly from things you've made up.
Live in southern Arizona for 26 years fool, then come back and tell me I have no idea.
Speak first hand with some of my English speaking legal migrant Hispanic friends from Mexico who work in the healthcare field who witness services and medical supplies used on illegals who disappear the next morning without a trace; they will never recover those costs. Who is supposed to pay for those supplies or pay those paychecks? I have my own bills to pay.
Meet a English speaking Hispanic woman who is a US citizen married with 2 kids (and no more than 2 gasp!) busting her arse to make ends meet while these illegals come over and drop off anchor babies when they just HAPPEN to be here on the US side at a walmart at 3am and get everything paid for. No wonder they have 10 more kids when they don?t have to take responsibility for anything.
Get rear ended a few times by trucks full of Mexicans with raider?s jackets and gold rims and no insurance and come back here and tell me I have no idea after they take off and run laughing like it?s a ****** game.
Even when they are legally here working they can be a problem (but in these cases no more a problem than white trash). Where I work we have Mexican workers who get paid pretty good ($10 an hour) who turn down excellent insurance benefits (best in the state) that only costs $50 a month out of their pocket because they can get AHCCCS for free; more money for beer and gold rims and ph4t Raiders jackets in our 110 degree weather.
Yes I know its not ALL Mexicans that are like this, that would be a very broad assumption. I have seen plenty of Mexican people who work hard like anyone else and are just trying to get by, but I see a whole lot more who just don?t give a sh1t about anything (save tax return funded Escalades and AHCCCS subsidized income so they can use their rent money on stereos)
The real problem I have is when it goes the other way as well, and people like you and Steeplerot assuming that ALL Mexicans coming across the border are all poor helpless innocent farmers who just want work, etc. The reason we can?t even begin to solve the immigration problems is people like you guys who refuse to acknowledge the fact that there are more than one ?type? of Mexican crossing into this country just like any other group of people.
There are NUMEROUS factions of Hispanics coming across the border and some (more like most) of them are quickly turning the south west USA into a 3rd world ghetto; much in the same way locusts ravage and consume with no regard for anything other than immediate gratification, even if its harmful even to themselves in the long run.
It?s just too easy for the liberal to assume anything against ?brown skinned people? is an assault by the white man. Hmm Vietnamese, Indians, Thais, Pakistanis, all brown skinned people as well, notice nobody is giving them any sh1t? Maybe its because they behave and don?t think it?s acceptable for their children to wander the supermarket sticking their hands in the candy bins and stuffing their faces with things that they have no intention of paying for (and littering when they are done). No because its not about brown skinned people, its about Mexico, period.
The point of immigration to this country is that we get the best of the best and get the people who want to become something; we are not here to be the trash bin for all the worlds poor.
