I feel that no matter what candidate I vote for there will be another amnesty surge even larger than the one in the 80's. I am afraid that my country will become, not Mexico, but a 3rd world Meximerica where I won't be able to live without having to know, really really know Spanish.
I lived in California next to a high school and what I saw coming out of that into my back alley every day was nothing but ghetto trash. I had to go to Santa Ana on a regular basis and saw first hand what they had done to a once nice suburban town. There is a monument, much like the one that was protested near Los Angeles, at the train station there but no one says a word about it. The one that said "this was Mexican land, is Indian land, and will be again".
Thank goodness I left before those rotten billboards came up "Los Angeles, Mexico" and I'm glad I didn't have a kid that went to that high school that rose the Mexican flag.
I have never encountered such accepted racism until I worked in the service industry and had to cater to these 'neighbors' from south of the border. Their double standards sicken me. They crowd and push me out of the way at the store. Their men have disrespected me on the street and have attempted to rape me more than onec. They have ostracized me at my own job. Their children have robbed people I know.
Now both of our politicians pander to them equally. What do I do? As an American, I want to vote for the guy who will represent my interests but there is nobody. I look at the rest of the world and I don't think there is anywhere to run to because of similar things happening involving immigrants. I love my country and I don't want to see this happening to it. I am scared.
