I apologize for responding to a post that is so early in this conversation, and I am aware that there are 3 more pages of discussions after it, but that segment of pushpull's post is one I have to argue.
Mexican people who live in america, whether legal or not, is part of your society, whether you want to accept it or not. They grow your food, cook it, serve it, bus the table after you're done eating. They build your cars, your houses, the buildings you work in, and they get paid less than you would if you were doing it.
And the use of the term "leeching" is offensive. It makes it sound like they are parasites or vermin feeding off of you. The fact is, whether American factories are located on US soil or Mexican soil, it's often Mexicans that work in them, for much cheaper wages, so USA also "leeches" a lot out of Mexico.
Your society is based on immigrants living in a same nation, and I think our neighbor from south of the border deserve more respect than that.
