Well, like you Californicators I live in a border state. I know what you're talking about but it's not likely to change. If I lived in a 3rd world pisspot, I'd be heading to the nearest wealthy country too. I don't have a problem with immigration per se, but I think anyone who comes here should learn the language, obey the laws, insure their autos etc. When my wife came to the US, she was more fluent in English than many native born Americans. Funny thing, she's much more conservative than me. I try to get her to consider some Democratic candidates, but no it's straight Republican. You should have heard the arguments when I was supporting John McCain in the 2000 Primary and she liked Dubya. I'm off down a rabbit hole here, but...
I'd rather take my chances on Mexican drivers than the little blue-haired ladies around here. They're dangerous!
