These leaders have been convinced that they are going to take over the whole southwest of the US along with the rest of the west. They have many good methods to do this without using force, but they have to depend on more and more of their illegals coming in and getting amnestied. In case you question the amnesty accusation think about what has to happen for illegals to get to vote.

On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

On 15 February 1998, Mexico's national soccer team scored a 1-0 victory over the United States team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup championship game before a crowd of 91,255 at the Los Angeles Coliseum. News accounts of the match noted that some of the large number of fans who turned out to root for the Mexican team whistled during the playing of the U.S. national anthem, booed the U.S. team, and threw debris at U.S. players: [SIZE=2] The pro-Mexican throng that filled the entire Coliseum — including areas without seats because of construction — booed the Americans and showered them with debris on several occasions.

"It seemed like we were playing in Mexico City," said U.S. forward Preki, a native of Yugoslavia who gained his U.S. citizenship Oct. 25, 1996. "When we played down there in Mexico City, the crowd wasn't as bad as it was here. I think that was a shame.

"When they were playing the United States (national) anthem, all these people were whistling (the international version of booing). I assume all these people are living in the states. I think they should respect the national anthem. "

I hope the above is an exaggeration. I would get sick in the stomach if it is true.

You should have been down here lately during the world cup the flags you seen waving from cars was from Brazil not American flags. They were not showing support for the USA in the world cup but for Brazil

A description of the future of life in L.A., regardless of who's culture is in control. The whole city will look and SMELL like a Texaco station toilet.

Ok well we as citizens, what are we going to do about this. I constantly write to my senator and those in office in my state and voice my opinion by phone and emails, yes i get emails sent back to me with a bunch of bull, send it back to them, and let them know it is bull, and that i want something done. Are we going to sit back and let this happen. Is it time for the citizens to be noticed, to be televised, to be on radio stations, in newspaper print, What, i am at a loss for words here that we have a Government that seems to have been on the wrong side for some time. There comes a time when enough is just plain enough, and Citizens as sad as it is must do the job that those in power should be doing.

Actually it would be La Raza and the illegals but you go ahead and keep in denial that we have an illegal problem.

Until you geniuses figure out a way to maintain a sizable, say 30%+ oversize, labor pool in this country without legal and illegal immigration there will not be any effort to control the borders. The financiers and corporations that own and control the United States depend on the excess workers to keep bidding the wages down and labor costs under control. Employing under paid illegal workers is cheaper than moving the work overseas. Chicken processing is a prime example. Tending the gardens of the rich is another. H1b’s underbidding American computer programmers has put the former middle class under the immigration gun.

Nobody really wants to address the undelying causes of illegal and legal immigration to this country...People just want to complain that the Mexicans are taking over America---while never looking at the root of the problem and asking why they are coming to America and who is benefiting from this.

It's much easier to blame some obscure Atzlan groups as having a nefarious plot to take over America rather than looking at the multiple industries (agriculture, food processing, construction, etc.) that have come to rely on illegal immigration.
