$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')mericans commit violent hate crimes against Mexicans all across the country. Do you really believe the people living on the border have any more love for them than they do in the rest of the lower 48?

Oh really?

And for the record, I don't have to cite or provide links for well accepted information. It's no secret that plenty people in this country hate Mexicans enough to commit violent crimes against them.

Well it all sounds like a good news/bad news story.

The bad news: we're running out of cheap oil.
The good news: we'll have an increasingly abundant flow of cheap labor.

Borders are kind of arbitrary sometimes, don't some of these south of the border people look like they have inhabited this land a little longer than most of the posters on this thread? Couldn't help but notice .

Anyway I don't believe it, the scenario of mexicans flooding the US border when TSHTF is pure hollywood fantasy imo.

And yes xenophobia a genetic trait essential to our survival at earlier time is now a serious handicap inflicting upon our best judgement in modern time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat's so hard to believe about it? They're already locked in a war against drug traffickers. Oil output is going down, remittances are going down, tourism is going down. Given the direction that things are heading in the most probable outcome is the collapse of their government and economy, which would lead to a mass exodus. Who in their right mind would stay?

What is the job of the country that took in more homeless immigrants than any other since the fall of the Byzantine Empire?

Survival.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')A recent report on the November 2009 U.S. trade deficit found that rising oil imports widened our deficit, increasing the gap between our imports and exports. This is but one example that our economic recovery and long-term growth is inexorably linked to our reliance on foreign oil. The United States is spending approximately $1 billion a day overseas on oil instead of investing the funds at home, where our economy sorely needs it. Burning oil that exacerbates global warming also poses serious threats to our national security and the world’s security. For these reasons we need to kick the oil addiction by investing in clean-energy reform to reduce oil demand, while taking steps to curb global warming.
