In reality, I have NEVER met a Mexican I did not like.

"Feeling like the Mexican's will take over" is very different than "not liking Mexican's". I like Mexican's, but I don't like them protesting in the
streets of the USA displaying Mexico flags, deriding the USA, and coming into the Country illegally and abusing our laws thus cheating all those that
are attempting to come here legally, now and before. It is really tough for me to like gang-bangers, gang members, druggies, proven crooks, etc.
regardless of where they come from, or what they look like. In that sense I am a "bigot" by definition, and that does not bother me one iota!!!

Doesn't make you a "bigot" by any real definition, Barry. Keep up the good fight.

What and how is it, that those who claim to despise Fox News, claiming to never watch it for it's poisonous content, continue to refer to the source
as a font of knowledge for those with whom they disagree? How would they know?

I look at the huge sums of money invested in Mexico by our nation in the (disguise, interest?) attempt to control drugs, immigration, economy, etc.
and note that little difference has been the sum gain...corruption, graft, disgusting abuse seems to have raised the privileged and done little for a
beautiful country to our south.
The 'wall' that exists physically now, seems to be a small percentage of the overall monies sent south over a very long time. Could it be that a
certain percentage of the monies still being sent south by our nation be diverted to 'put in concrete' perhaps one of the only solutions our nation
has control over?
Yes it may not be the best solution, it may not be palatable with our open arms policy we think we have, but nothing except lining the pockets of the
elite in Mexico seems to have made a difference yet. And when look to the preformed, one cast footing and slab tilted up in ditches along the
Palestinian frontier with Israel...It sure seems to have slowed the carnage perpetrated from a threat on one nations populace. Yes just slowed it.
But I think the idea is Mexico 'pays for' the 'wall' by having the wasted billions that they would get from the US diverted to a commitment for
something this nation would control. At least then it would line the pockets of the elite on this side of the border and finance the creation of more
strip malls to serve those in the remote stretches who guard our 'wall'.
In this way Mexico "pays for the wall"
Fire away.

Why would you steal hard working peoples money (remittances) to pay for the wall? This would include I assume any expats sending money to their bank
accounts in Mexico.

Not sure what MX's you're referring to. Is that Mexicans who are US citizens? These citizens have the right to display any kind of flag from
any country, don't they?
Kinda like Colin has the right to sit out the national anthem if he wants.
You must be referring to undocumented and illegal Mexicans.
I think lots of white folks dislike Mexicans because they have darker skin -- kinda like obama does -- and that means they're inferior.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Of course they "have the right", but it is not very smart, IMO. I was referring to all that have immigrated here with the idea of being citizens and
staying. I "have the right" to display ISIS flags in the corners of my front yard, but I don't think that would be very wise, and it certainly would
not endear me to my neighbors.
As for "Mexican's taking over" that somebody referred to----that's an opinion, or a perception, and there is no accounting for one's opinion, no
matter if you don't understand it. It could, or could not, have anything to do what people actually feel about Mexican's, or the fact that some Mex.
immigrants are shouting in the streets that they are "taking back what was taken from them". Now THAT's a provocative statement or display if I ever
heard one, and might make some uneasy. LOL But perhaps some don't understand that, either.

Bought a six of Lagunita at OXXO last week...imported from Marin County. Yummy stuff at 34 Ps per bottle.
Next door to the store is an asparagus field with jornaleros bent at the waist for ten hours a day planting, for enough to buy two bottles of these
wonderful cold brews.
