18,000 Hispanics a month are turning 18.
You are the one who is going to need a tissue.
Why? The majority of them are Christians and almost all of them want to live here.
Hispanic Admiral David Farragut's father fought in the American Revolution in 1776 and again in the War of 1812. Hispanics are major league baseball legends here, have been mayors of major cities, and stepped up to the plate by contributing soldiers in every single one of America's wars. They helped Texas win its battles against Mexico and have contributed many billions of meals to America's dinner tables in the cattle and meat business, fruit and vegetable pickers, chefs, bakers.
Many of the Hispanics we know have college degrees and are multi-lingual. They're astute professional engineers, physicians, community leaders, teachers, artists, musicians, potters, and intellectuals, salesmen, fashion and interior designers.
Just because Mexico's habit of dumping habitual hardened criminals on the borders so we have to incarcerate them for life at our expense is not a call to hard press those who go quietly about their business and educations and make something of themselves in America.
I'm not worried about them. I'm worried about the changes we will have to make to convert a million acres immediately into dump sites to accommodate another 30 million and their billions of progeny. That's how many have crossed the border in 10 years. Their children will not enjoy what Obama is holding hostage right now--the National Parks some other future nemesis will seize upon to punish the rest of us whether by raising the price of fuel so no family can afford to go and see what it is paying for, and his refusal to negotiate with other Americans who are just not ready for communism right now.
