What do you do in a case where a 3 year old is brought over illegally by his mother and father and has lived in Texas all his life? Yeah he speaks spanish and english but he has no home in Mexico. I don't know the answer
He's told me that people will kill you if you have a better job than them in the same company so they can get that job. I fully beleive him and I'm so afraid for him. Mexico is really a horrible place.
I was one of 3 people who spoke english on my bus rides home from school. I never spoke to anyone and the spanish kids would laugh and make fun of me but hell if I knew what they were saying. I know there's an immigration problem all over the US but my friends from Kansas don't understand my views because they never had to ride home on that bus or couldn't buy something from a store because the clerk didn't speak english in south Texas. Why do I feel like I'm the alien when I'm in my rightful country?
My best friend is illegal, but i hate that there are illegals here. It's not his fault that he's here, and I don't want him to go back but I can't just say 'send everyone else home except him'. Once he does go back in a few months (to try to legally apply for citizenship) maybe I'll change my views.

At what point does it become ok to take over a country?

So that means there are only five or so countries you can invade, one of them yourself?

I would legalize drugs ten times over before I would annex Mexico.

Read the original post. He proposes annexing Mexico due to the drug problem.

He's just nitpicking on your phrasing in the subject line. I think. *NM*
