Proof positive.

orthodoc says "we" as in we the people. tw says "we" as in the nation/legislature/bureaucrats/laws. tw's "we" doesn't always jibe with the feelings or wishes of orthodoc's "we".

In the case of the laws, bureaucrats are resistant to change, any change, and there hasn't been an impetus to update immigration laws as the problem was being circumvented by ignoring the law. The bureaucrats like that just fine because that means no work for them.
But the result of that attitude is they have lost control of the very reasons there are laws in the first place.

Aside but pertinant.... My personal observation is that Hispanics, especially the young men, are proud bordering on arrogant....very macho, and tend to be in your face with their heritage. That's annoying to us old farts and colors our view of the Hispanic community, right or wrongly.
