I know first-hand of illegal immigrant Mexicans harassing women on the street. My friends and I have actually had to be called to beat up these guys one time. One of the guys tried to stab me in the shoulder but didn't even leave any marks. Another time I saw a drunken Mexican rough up a young teenage girl on the street. I mean, he actually slammed her against the wall. My best guess is that she wouldn't put out and she didn't think that she could run away. These guys are not coming here to make friends with the "gringos" they are just looking out for themselves, and maybe their families.

The paranoia and hate rhetoric of those that are anti illegal aliens (Hispanics) is what is biting them in the butt, and alienating those that might otherwise listen to what hey have to say rather than taking offence.

That statement looks alot like the one made by Sotomayer herself. I'm sure you didn't mean to say that non-spanish orginating american citizens just pop up out of the ground like weeds, without any ancestry or a deep history of our own, right?

Oh, alrighty. I agree with that, I just thought you were saying that white people had a lack of culture, which seems to be a misconception many have. Thanks for clearing it up.

Not Mexican immigrants, illegal immigrants. Go shoot your racist card somewhere else.
