I would really enjoy some honesty here. People who say "illegal immigrants" mean Hispanic illegal immigrants. No one is crying about European or Asian or African (screw you, Australia!) immigrants. And some people obviously don't draw a distinction between legal and illegal Hispanic immigrants because they all look the same and no one would bother to check to see if they are legal. So they assume that all brown people are illegal immigrants. And they also assume they are here to take over America.
What exactly are they going to take over? Other countries (including this one) have experienced waves of immigrants without losing national sovereignty or identity. The way immigrant populations become acclimatized to the US is as follows: The first generation usually speaks little or no English. Their children (2nd generation) speak both their native tongue (English!) and their parents' native tongue. And the 3rd generation speaks only English and is generally indistinguishable from a person whose forebears have been in America for many generations. The Mexicans are not going to take over or ruin America, and to say otherwise is ignorant fear mongering and bigoted.
