Thread: Anti-Illegal Immigration LATINOS

This is an excerpt from the article......it's a little long, but focuses on Latino's against Illegals.

Last summer, a Pew Hispanic Center survey found that 34 percent of native-born Latinos consider undocumented immigrants as hurtful to the U.S. economy. “There are no issues—none—on which Hispanics are unanimous,” says Robert Suro, director of the Pew Hispanic Center. “On this point there’s a clear majority, but there is a significant minority, particularly among the native born and the older, middle class, that expresses negative views about the undocumented.”

That key finding in the Pew survey shouldn’t be a surprise here in California, where exit polls suggested as much as 23 percent of the state’s voting Latinos supported Proposition 187, which would have denied education and state services to illegal immigrants had it not been knocked down by the courts after its passage in 1994. The Pew numbers parallel the 2003 recall election, when as much as one-third of the state’s Latino voters helped elect Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. A few activists, like Moreno, have joined forces with anti-illegal-immigrant groups in their armed displays along the U.S.-Mexico border. (The California Minutemen split from the larger Minuteman Project late last year and changed their name to the California Border Watch, citing philosophical differences.) Many other native-born Latinos, who wouldn’t be caught dead hanging around with groups such as the Minutemen, believe that a system that allows undocumented immigrants to work for illegally low wages without protection under the law is inhumane and must be fixed with tighter border controls and employer sanctions.

“There are arguments that for Latinos to turn on immigrants, particularly the undocumented, is self-defeating and a betrayal,” says David Ayón, senior research associate at Loyola Marymount University’s Center for the Study of Los Angeles. It’s a sentiment that explains why so few Latinos who are anti-immigration are willing to be out front on the issue. And why those who align themselves with white-dominated anti-immigration groups face particularly harsh treatment. Their critics point to the Save Our State organization (a descendent of Prop. 187)—which has decried an “illegal alien invasion” and a state being “turned into a Third World cesspool” by undocumented migrants—as proof that the anti-illegal-immigrant side is racist. Enrique Morones, a former vice president of the San Diego Padres who founded the immigrant-aid group Border Angels, calls people like Moreno “puppets” of a “racist” movement. “These are people without a backbone,” he says. California state Sen. Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles), who is behind a years-long effort to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain California driver’s licenses, agrees. “In some respects,” the legislator says, “they’re dupes of the extremists and shock-jock radio.” But Cedillo may be overstating the case: according to the Pew survey, 60 percent of native-born Latinos are opposed to giving driver’s licenses to the undocumented.

La Raza claims Hispanic settlements earlier than Whites, but that's a contradiction, since the Hispanics they refer to were Spaniards aka. White Europeans just like the British! Hispanic means of or relating to the Spanish culture, language, and nationality. It's not a race! Latino is more of a broad term that is better qualified to designate Latin America. Just to let you know, it was the French who coined the term Latin-America/n to distinguish themselves from Anglo-America! But I've heard the nonsense spouted off, "French peoples and cultures are not Latino, because they are White! That is such a stupid, uneducated statement to declare.

The French and the Spanish both belong to the Caucasian (White) race, but with different languages! Not only the Spanish, but the French, Portuguese, Italians, and Romanians all speak related Romanic (Italic) or Latin languages, thus making all them Latino technically speaking, yet they are all predominantly White people in each country!

WHEN THE LAW IS AGAINST YOU....ARGUE THE FACTS
WHEN THE FACTS ARE AGAINST YOU..ARGUE THE LAW.....WHEN BOTH ARE AGAINST YOU...ATTACK THE PEOPLE..

RACIST IS...The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans.

Clearly by this article and by what we have seen on the news and in person, these loud mouth pro-illegal movement leaders don't have a clue. Or, they are right, and we are all just racists and "dupes". How dare we try to ask our government to enforce the LAWS OF THE LAND!!!

HOW DARE WE????
DEMAND OUR LAWS ARE ENFORCED
WE DON'T WANT OUR TAX MONEY USED TO BENEFIT ILLEGAL ALIENS
WE DON'T WANT OUR JOBS TAKEN AND PAY SCALES GO IN REVERSE
WE DON'T WANT SMUGGLING OF HUMAND AND DRUGS
DON'T WANT ALL THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY ILLEGALS WE HAVE ENOUGH OF OUR OWN
WE DON'T WANT TO BE INVADED
WE DON'T WANT ILLEGALS USING OUR LEGAL IMMIGRATION PLATFORM TO VICTIMIZE THEMSELVES AND TO FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS THAT DON'T BELONG TO THEM
ETC.....HOW DARE WE???? AS ME IF I GIVE A DUCK...IF THEY CALL ME A RACIST....WHICH MEANS I'M AN AMERICAN WHO IS AGAINST ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION
