Self deportation is the best!
I really doubt most of them will leave until they're rounded up by the friendly guys at ICE, though.

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

That's what the second generation does, or tries to.
http://www.migrationpolicy.org/artic...falling-behindConclusionMexican immigrants, the largest single group of poorly schooled newcomers, make up a working poor, with limited access to jobs beyond the low-wage sector. Given these circumstances, can their U.S.-born and U.S.-raised children be expected to progress?
While U.S.-born Mexican men do not retain the extraordinary job-holding rates of their Mexican-born counterparts, the shift downward takes them to levels that characterize native-born whites. As the second generation is significantly better educated than the first, Mexican second-generation men find jobs associated with greater stability, significantly higher levels of pay, and much greater fringe-benefit coverage.

That's traditionally what happens with the second generation. However, in the past 50 years or so a few things have been happening that work against assimilation. First of all was the movement to 'keep your heritage' via things like hyphenated nationalities. Seemed like a good idea when I was a kid, though I heard some older people say it wasn't a great idea. Concurrently teaching civics in significant forms was waning, while the teaching of revisionist history was on the upswing.
Not only are younger folks in general less knowledgeable on our government, history, and the founding principles and philosophy behind them, so are new members of the society.
Noir certainly had a point that 'visa holders' aren't the ones who've committed most acts of terrorism, but a significant number of their offspring born here are.
