Reply #84: Actually 'they' have a fairly good case that they do have a right to be here.

Considering for example the 150 years or so of more or less uncontrolled border crossings in the southwest, the fact that we annexed northern Mexico by force of arms, dividing the people who happened to live there between two national jurisdictions, and the last 80 years or so of de facto guest worker status for huge numbers of the undocumented, vital for the agricultural economy of the region, 'their' right to be here is not quite as non-existent as you seem to think.

But never mind all that, within 50 years or so 'our' southwest will be more a part of Mexico that the US. The demographic pressure is not going to be diverted by racist idiocy, by fascist laws, by insane walls or by ad hoc posses.
