I am going to disagree with you there. I would guess a majority of Mexicans that move to America, think of themselves as Americans. I know, I have plenty of Mexican friends and that is 100% the case in them. If you don't believe me, ask them and they will fight about it.
I was specifically speaking of illegal immigrants jumping fences and sprinting to get into the US. I'm saying that they are in it for the money, not becoming Americans. But I could be wrong, and my baseline for this is the attitudes of some people here about coming to the US, and that is a little unfair
[B]Yeah, because wasting 5% of the popular vote on a nobody with no chance of election is really going to help.
And thats why electoral reform, or lack of it, is subject to this closed circle.... forever keeping the people away from active participation, especially in the severely compromised form of democracy that is "representative" government.

If you guys are so worried about this stuff, then don't vote for the major parties.
