It's eroding our society.

I personally believe in the melting pot, not "diversity."

More thanks for Frank's efforts. This is exactly right. The fast-food 
restaurant where I get my lunch salad used to be staffed by ordinary 
causasians, often with obvious mild retardation. They were good workers, 
and I enjoyed them. Now I can barely understand the girl at the register 
and sometimes I have to ask her to say it in Spanish because her English 
is so poor. I am deeply discouraged and disillusioned by President 
Bush's attitude about illegal emmigration.
