Unfortunately, parents and youth see that and get angry, who are they going to target?

Well I haven't heard of anyone killing a CEO or Politician...but there are plenty of hate at illegals and Mexicans.
If you think that our politicians are not regularly chewed up one side and down the other by their constituents who are furious at what America is turning into, you are mistaken.

I would honestly say Blame broadcasted at this spread:

80% Illegals
10% Politicians
10% Businesses

Illegals are much easier to blame and attack on the streets.

Stupid things? Like kill someone because they are different race? No never did anything that stupid. Stop trying to excuse their awful behavior.

Using your approach, I would categorize culpability of illegal immigration accordingly:

Businesses/Corps - 40%
Politicians/lobbies/"La Raza" type groups - 35%
illegals - 25%

I speak only for myself, however.

That speculation was noted by me too, I just try not to react to such specualtion anymore because speculation has so much to do with perspective, and those in favor of illegal immigration only have one perspective.

Excuse me for speculating that the parents instilled this behavior. At 18 years old do you really think they are learning this from reading newspapers and news without any influence from the parents?

Gang-bangers parents are to blame especially at that young of age.
