Why the hell do they call them LATINOS... I would bet not one of the deadbeats are from Latin America.. Why don't they just call them MEXICANS... or for some reason is that a derogatory term... Geez I wonder why it ever would be.. Sarcasm meant!!!!

I'll bet if I had a Mexican flag and Mexican music coming out of my vehicle I'd have been stopped too. This is just more B.S.

Check points are the best way to stop Mexicans from running over innocent people.

Let's say ALL White Males & Females leave the USA taking up residence in some other peaceful country. Stay there for about one year.

The USA would resemble a trash dump. Simply put, there'd be no more "coattails" on which all these other people to hold. Total chaotic collapse.

It would be one heck of a movie to watch via remote camera.

Isn't it interesting how people always migrate to where they can get, no matter how, the essentials of life?

All you who voted BHO into office are watching him crawfish on his "promises". He'll ruin the USA in more than just a financial way.

Mexicans have no moral values. They come here w/o any concern for the law.

By Ruth Polaski of The Brookings Institute Crimelab Department:

Phoenix, Ariz. is the nation's fifth largest city -- a fast-growing metropolis that's become Ground Zero for a unique problem that has law enforcement coming face to face with a new form of an age-old crime. In the Valley of the Sun, the new trend in kidnapping for ransom is criminals targeting other criminals.

Authorities tell us that the players are hardcore drug dealers, smugglers, and leaders of coyote organizations who are being snatched and extorted for money by their underworld rivals. Because of Arizona's prime location on the U.S.-Mexico border, police say that most kidnap victims and suspects have ties back to Mexico's seedy underworld and that cops and detectives have been chopped up and their cars taken to chop-shops and money was exchanged. Bodyparts and carparts were found in mailboxes, laundry machines, laundry dryers, toilet bowls, bathtubs and on the grounds in neighborhoods where children and elderly live to create mayhem and terrorize neighborhoods and communities.

While overall crime in Phoenix may be up due to Mexican crimes, cops say these kinds of kidnappings happen at a rate of eight a day -- and that's just the ones that go reported. Due to the nature of the unsavory characters involved, police figure that the actual number could be double that. It's this epidemic of abductions that has made Phoenix the nation's unofficial kidnapping capital. Gangs are putting bodyparts of children and elderly women in toilet bowls and some are thrown on the tenant's beds and on the floor in the bedrooms to create mayhem against the residents. While this abduction plot had been foiled, authorities in Arizona still need help bringing two more to justice.

My neighborhood? About 40% Mexican. Bad neighbor problems and passer-by problems? 100% Mexicans. It is a hard fact to deal with after 10 years. But, it is just plain true. That is imbalanced. It should be 40% of the problems, but it's 100%.

In fact, 2 of my favorite neighbors - who both have moved BTW - were Mexican-American and complained constantly about "Mexicans". It was a very uncomfortable conversation to be in. It seemed like self-hatred, but it wasn't. I think it was stereo-typing based upon over 2 decades of experience on their part.

I just want to scream "Just be cool, dammit! Why the hell can't you be cool and stop acting like jackasses?" But the farce continues and it's everyone's fault but the people whose fault it actually is: the Mexicans that are acting badly in greater numbers than other "groups".

I would prefer to simply group people into 2 categories: considerate and inconsiderate. But, the proliferation of racial and ethnic classifications and self-identities by nearly everyone continues to confuse the simplicity of such an outlook.

If one of these groups whom likes to lump themselves into such "groups" often has an inordinate number of members who act inconsiderately, then I guess the whole group better deal with it instead of blaming it on outside forces.

Latinos have brought this on themselves. More than half of them are illegal invaders, so of course the cops focus on anyone who looks mexican.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Cancer

Someone dear to your heart isn't exactly a barrel of laughs today, are they? Is it your imagination or are they taking a perverse delight in spreading doom and gloom in all directions? If they've got good reason to be miserable then they deserve your sympathy, but even so it may not last for long. Try to keep active and cheerful, otherwise you'll also develop a tendency to brood.
