If you want spanish language pronunciation practice, all you need do is live in the US Southwest and watch the evening news. There are newsreaders with excellent accents on every local station, and virtually every name in the crime blotter allows them to trill their rs, etc.
It's very instructive.
Regardless, it's not about "mexicans" it's about ILLEGALS.
I don;t care how many mexicans are allowed to LEGALLY come to the US. Up it to 1 million per year for all I care. The ILLEGALS, on the other hand, should be shot as the cross over the border as the invaders they are. Fill out a form, and come in like a civilized person? Welcome! Sneak in illegally? Lethal force.
Let more in legally, but let NONE in illegally (as close to none as possible, no holds barred on how). I actually know many people from mexico here. Probably more than almost anyone on this forum who is a knee-jerk defender of illegals. I like Mexicans, they are by and large nice, hard working people (my best friend's mom—a sort of "extra" mom for me, actually lives in the DF). Coming in other than through proper channels should be met with force, though. Sorry. Kill a few and the flood over the border will cease, IMHO. They know we do nothing.
