I will agree with that here also, Taz. But I do understand that in other areas of the country, that doesn' t always hold true.

I used to live in Sacramento, it was pretty interesting there, there were to groups of Mexicans there, the Mexican-Americans who were honest hard working people many of them were business owners and the like, then you had the chollos and chollas, basically the equivilant of white trash, the Mexican-Americans despised these scum bags because they gave them all a bad name.

Where I live now there is a very small population of the dirt bag mexicans, the majority of them are very hard working people with a lot of pride.

I don' t know where the hell you live but around here they' re all frickin' criminals.

I have friends that own businesses around the country, the most vocal is in Texas.
He has a famous saying around here:

" If you can find one in thirty that can find his own ass with both hands he might be worth minimum wage" .

fng I have lived in Sacramento, Denver, the suburbs of DC and Frederickburg Va. I am not saying that there are not some scumbags among them, but the majority are good hard working people.

fng I want you to remember the old saying " The squeaky wheel gets the oil" in a nutshell you are stereotyping an entire group due to what a few freinds have said and what you see in the newspapers and TV.

How many Mexicans have you worked with, lived near, or seen working?

I have been around you know. I do have real life experience you know.

If they are so industrious why does it COST the taxpayers $85,000 per mexican per visit when they cross the border...

sounds like a deficit to me.
