"There have been many raids. The people are scared and not inclined to trust the government or to cooperate," said Antolin Aguirre, an Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition member.

In 2009, a small, New Jersey-based coalition of Latino evangelical clergy called for a census boycott to put pressure on Congress to legalize the status of potentially millions of immigrants.

"Immigrants were asking, 'Why should we be counted for the census when they're not going to count us for immigration reform?'\u2009" said Aguirre, a U.S. citizen and businessman who emigrated from Mexico and who counsels immigrants.

Yep Dixie, sounds like he can be very articulate in English when he wants to be, and the Austin American-Statesman knows it very well. Still they took up for him. They must be truly flaming liberals!

Even the Dreamers are embarassed & angered by Antolin.

Most educated Hispanics don't want to live in a segregated America living in seperate eclaves. They understand,as most intelligent Citizens & Immigrants do,we must remain "One Nation" pulling together as "One People" "One Language" if we are to survive and thrive.
