>>>Do you have any evidence for this statement? Of course, it turns on what you mean by "many," so we probably need to define that term. So when you say "many immigrants," what percent do you mean? Once you answer that, where's your evidence?

>>What is it with you that you take words out of context? I said "illegal" and you conveniently omitted it. I sent you a link for the documentary about the drugs and illegal activities of illegal immigrants. Did you check it? By the way, I watch a lot of Mexican tv (I speak very good Spanish and understand it well) programming where they show many programs about drugs and gangs of illegal Mexicans in both USA and Mexico. Maybe you should learn Spanish and start learning from the source <g>.
>>And last I DID not say Mexican when I was talking about illegal immigrants. It was brought up by someone else. To me, illegal is NOT legal; Mexican, Russian, or any other.

>Sorry, I didn't actually mean to omit "illegal"; I knew that's what we were talking about. However, I'm not going to watch a documentary to get the evidence. (I watch probably fewer than 1% of the videos people point me to. Video is slow; reading is fast.)

Didn't you recently recommend here to watch a documentary on the PBS? So you watch pattern is very "selective."

When you hear on the news that "many" people died as a result of a natural disaster and you find out that 20 or 30 people actually died, are you questioning the news media for the accuracy of their statement.

You simply choose to ignore an outrageous bigoted statement made in this thread. And yet you are stuck on analyzing what is "many." I am sure any one can Google for on-line facts about number of criminal activities of illegal immigrants. In my view, even if 1% of the illegal immigrants are involved in the criminal activities, it is too many, given the number of illegals entering the country every day.
