One of my friends from college, who I've known for 10 years married a woman from S. America. She was great, really intelligent and nice, she had a master's degree and had a green card. Then I heard from my friend that she was bringing her entire family over here to the US to stay, permanently and illegally. Why? Because they felt the amnesty bill would pass. I feel some sympathy for her folks who are older. Of course they support amnesty. So now I can't even talk to him anymore. I feel guilty.

I have another friend who's parents were from Mexico, he's a coconut (I speak more spanish than him!) but I can't talk to him anymore because of his belief that anti-amnesty == racism.
