It's a false arguement to say that your exact particular situation applies in anyway to the population at large. Throughout this whole thread all you talk about is you. Get off the ego trip and realize that individuals are individuals and groups are groups. Public policy has to be about groups (hence the "public").

"No scientific evidence" excpet for the hundreds of studies that have been done throughout the world and data gleaned from the Military's entrance exams that have been conducted on MILLIIONS of entrants going back decades...... yeah there's no evidence.

Of course there are variation in any group that's why the landmark book on IQ was called "The Bell Curve". The article states that the current Hispanic population is 53 million so with the estimate of 12 million illegals, the great majority here are legal. You say that the legal Hispanics "do quite as well as the Germans, Italians et al" yet thier stats as a group contradicts that assertion. As a side note you may find that the Hispanics that do as well as Europeans probably have a lot of Spanish ancestry like the upper class Cubans that fled Castro's take-over.

The problem is that they will get off scott free and they know it. They will be safe in thier gated communities and it's the rest of us that will be living in the third world that they created.

I think it was Margret Thatcher that said "If something can't keep going...it won't" Unfortunately I believe it will take the default on the Debt for people to realize how broken the system is.

If it doesn't agree with your ideology then it doesn't count? Do you call people that don't agree with human caused global warming flat earthers? BTW, there is more factual evidence of population differences than there is of global warming. Population differences have persisted even after 40 years of programs to fix it here in America and throughout the world yet Global Warming seems to have stopped over the last 10 year even though carbon emissions have grown. Interesting.....

Sanford is an actual Conservative who is against Amesty. This is so rare in Politics today that I would be more than willing to forgive him for his emotional misjudgement. Face it people, we need Republicans that will stand up for America not for Corporations trying to buy a slave class.

You are correct sir!

Really? Trusting some-one that he has respect for is mindless? I think it's obvious who is mindless.

She would speak out against his Democrat principles if that was the case.

Redheart, The difference with the group you are talking about isn't legal / illegal since many of them are legal and even 2 or third generation immigrants. The difference is that these are 3rd world immigrants who haven't been able to create a successfull society at home and then bring those social problems here to create 3rd world enclaves in America. This is significantly different from the waves of immigrants from modern countries that we had before the Great Depression when there wasn't welfare to take care of them and many returned home.
