I had no opinion, I was born here, pops and mom crossed the river to come into the USA. I don't care what people say or think about me or my past. We all come here for one reason, the money that can be achieved here. Ask them why they are here and all of them that came from there will very likely tell you that. Also, Mexicans might be border hoppers, but the Euros back in the days were sea hoppers. People tend to forget that little fact. I don't get mad at the comment above, I get a chuckle at the ignorance of when the people that say that forget their roots and how their roots came here. Also, not all border hoppers come to bite off the welfare system, in fact, it's a low percentage. Most do come to actually work. And I have personally experienced this through my parents. I have seen them grow into the success that they are now. I'd be happy if I became as successful as my dad has become. He's a rather large idol of mine. Seeing how he came from a ranch without any money, literaly, and without an education, meaning did not complete elementary school. To see him go through hell here, to go through hunger, to be able to look poast it, struggle hard and achieved the great success he has achieved, both monetary and mentally.
