I could care less about any shift in demographics. And a dramatic change in culture is very much what the U. S. needs -- desperately. But no culture should rightly be taken as a whole.
Pick and choose%u2026 take and keep the parts that are good. Throw out the rest. The problem is, most people are so caught up in the trap of tradition that the notion of dropping some part of %u201Chow they grew up%u201D seems almost blasphemous.
By the way, I%u2019m with you on Leave it to Beaver reruns. They%u2019re not only boring, they just plain suck. - Reply to this comment

Yes idiot, do you? And I understand that there is much rich history to be enjoyed by all cultures. But just as in the U. S. there are parts of all cultures that should be trashed.
So tell me, how is the Mexican government sucking the life out of the rich Mexican culture?
By the way, it should have been %u201C%u2026 culture is[,] fool?%u201D (Just some proper English there.) And no, that%u2019s not a jab at Mexicans or at Spanish. Most Norte Americanas write like the illiterates they are. - Reply to this comment
- I don%u2019t even have a problem with the illegal crossings. Just leave behind the culture. It obviously is not working for you.

- Government corruption is a result of culture. While perhaps of a different type or with different results, there is government corruption in the U. S. That too is the result of what the U. S. culture allows or expects. The U. S. culture is just not AS dysfunctional -- yet.

Not necessarily, The Mexican Culture is a real rich culture with a great history. The Mexican Government is eating up the Mexican Culture. - Reply to this comment

Not sure what point you are refering to, but I have no problems with people coming here to better themseleves, LEGALLY, and trying to assimulate into the American culture. And not to the detrement to the American people.
And that''s always been my point. - Reply to this comment
- It is easy to understand why so many Mexicans want into America -- it is to escape the culture they have in Mexico. What I do not understand is, why then to they insist on bringing that same culture with them into the U. S. Obviously they know it is a dysfunctional way of life.

- Mexicans don''''t want to abandon their culture. They want to escape their corrupt government.
