> In every single Latino community in S. CA, there are Latino gangs. And they are spreading throughout the West. And that's just because there are more and more of them, and they're mostly really poor. But it's an endemic societal thing. It's not so much that they're Latino, it's that they're poor, and we just in general don't deal with our poor very well. >I am telling you, Z, you need to find out more about this subject before coming to your conclusions. I just don't see why they have any less of a right to be here than we do. They happened to have been born on the bad side of an arbitrary border. > You once posted here and I am paraphrasing....."I can't believe you all are afraid of some brown people". I didn't mean that I think you're racist, but that the part of the country that's traditionally made illegal immigration a big deal has been so. >The reason illegals are now moving into the Midwest and East is because the West has become so saturated that it doesn't benefit them to move here. And we haven't dealt with the situation well. But I don't think the solution is to kick out or seal out a whole bunch of poor people. If I were in their position, I'd try to cross that border too, I think. -Z
