wildman said:The pubelo indians are in northern Arizona, not in the south. Tucson was settled by the Spanish that is why there is a Spanish Mission (San Xavier) just south of town. How did San Xavier get there if the Spanish didn't settle the area? Magic maybe? Tucson was largely Hispanic until after World War II when anglos flooded in from the North. If you don't like Hispanics stay away from the Mexican Border.
wildman said:Wickipedia:maybe the anglo invasion was earlier than WWII but there has always been a significant Hispanic population in Tucson.
edward said:Would you care to expand on how this is related to the flood of illegal entrants who have crossed the border in the past 7 years without giving me the: "They were here first bunk." Half of the people coming recently are from Central America.
wildman said:So what happened 7 years ago to cause the flood? Hmmm, let's see, Bush got elected and quit enforcing the laws? Did you vote for Bush? Then you got what you voted for. If you voted Democrat then I apologize since I voted for Bush in 2000 (stupid me). It seems so ironic to me that it is the Republicans who are screaming about the illegals when there wasn't even that much of a problem before Bush opened the flood gates.
Some additional facts from a local historian that I called (Mr. Santa Cruz who teaches history at Tucson High School if you want to check):
Tucson became majority anglo in 1913.
Tucson High was still 1/2 Hispanic just before WWII. So what I said about the anglo invasion after WWII wasn't that far off the mark even if not quite completely accurate.
edward said:We are overwhelmed in many ways. The federal government requires that the state teach English to children who would not be here in the first place if the federal government had done it's job.
wildman said:I never figured that one out. I teach Sunday School at a Spanish speaking church and all the kids speak perfect English. The best way to learn a language is immersion
edward said:The situation here is getting even more bizarre. The local Sheriff has asked permission from the County Board of supervisors to allow him to deputize Boarder Patrol agents so they may help with law enforcements problems.
The border among other things is a high crime area. The laws broken consist of theft, crimes committed by illegals against other illegals, drug trafficking and gang violence.
One of the most most disgusting things visually seen is the "Rape Tree", a tree that is decorated with the undergarments of illegal women who have been raped by the smugglers who have brought them across the border.

A number of Sheriff's duputies have already been cross traiined so that they may assist with Border patrol activities.
