I just picked up "Tortilla Curtain" by TC Boyle and plan to start that tonight. It's for a book club next week. I have been reading everything I can find on the Internet about the Mexican immigration topic.
My parents live near Palm Springs, CA and I was down there for a few weeks in April. The locals will talk your ear off about Mexican immigration. Driving around San Diego, LA, and Palm Springs, I feel pretty much like I'm in Mexico, but with nicer housing.

I'm curious as to what others feel on this topic.
Should we build a patrolled wall? Should we give 'amnesty'? Should we continue on status quo?

The current population of Los Angeles is now 50% Hispanic.
Mexico is the 5th largest producer of oil in the world, and the largest producer of silver in the world.
