Mexicans and other central and south American country's citizens are illegally entering our nation, illegally driving cars on our highways, and committing other crimes with impunity. (I have heard of a study that shows that over 30% of our prison inmates are illegal aliens). Anybody taking this one on? NOPE! The only language you hear on this is some idiots insisting on ignoring the crime and simply calling them immigrants. This should infuriate those who legally went through the process and legally became citizens of our nation, but we have been bullied into silence.

It is not healthy!
it's not 'killing our nation',
but PC is bad.
it's good to not intentionally offend people,
but it's bad to teach everyone to be THAT sensitive, like the previous post.
and i agree that it sometimes prevents us from discussing important problems openly and efficiently.
like those that argue we should be stopping and searching the old ladies at the airport the same ammount as the young arab men.
