Contrary to popular belief, Latino protests are well organized, carefully scripted events, done by Latino professional activists who are citizens.
Imagine how much better Mexico would be if they took all that activism to that country.

It's activism that Hillary won't have to win California. That is, if she is even the nominee. She hasn't even won that one yet.

Add to that this fact---many who are eligible to vote, don't bother to do so (of course this is true of any group of eligible voters).

As an example, about 10 years ago, the town next us built a day labor site for illegals, using taxpayer money. They did this despite having a hearing where the vast majority of the speakers were strongly against it. After the hearing, the mayor announced that it was approved because he knew better than the citizens as to what was right for the town. That didn't play well at all. When it was time for the next town election, LULAC decided that they were going to go door to door to get more Hispanics to register to vote. Well, that was a flop. Most of the Hispanics they found were either here illegally or were here legally but not citizens. I think that they only added something like 5 or 6 to the voter rolls. BTW, the mayor and the town council members who ignored the will of the people were soundly defeated!
So, you're saying the premise of this thread is incorrect.

Hillary is facing landslide losses this fall.

It would not surprise me if Hillary loses California.
Seems a lot of fuss over nothing...

Believe me, I have taken to the streets to protest against illegal immigration. LULAC organized the protests on the opposite side and many of those they bused in to protest were local illegal aliens who worked as day laborers.

The protest was about using taxpayer money to fund a day labor site for the illegals. Those who wanted it besides groups like LULAC, were illegals---and they were there protesting courtesy of LULAC. In fact, I was standing next to a LULAC member who was encouraging a group of illegals to sign up to speak up in support of the day labor site at the hearing.

Oh, btw, when illegals had their first May Day temper tantrums, many businesses in my area admitted that they shut their doors the day of the protest so that their illegals could go protest.

You are on the "inside" meaning, what exactly? You are joining protests where amnesty and open borders is demanded by the illegals? Or are you organizing them? If it is the latter, what group has you as a member?

Also, there is a big difference between being "anti-immigrant" and "anti-illegal alien" --- and you know it, too. Stop deliberately trying to blur the lines.

It's sad that you can't make an argument without resorting to personal attacks.

All good points. Illegals don't live in fear of anything much less being deported under Obama. He has given millions of them a stay of deportation and instructed Homeland Security not to deport any of them unless they are "convicted" criminals.


Like you, I wonder what Mohawxx means by "being on the inside"? Hmm, it just confirms my suspicions about him and why I have had him on ignore for some time.

That would take courage and some morals. Apparently, these illegals have none.

So you suspect that Mohawxx may be Latino, and you have 'suspicions' about him. WOW, WOW, WOW!

I read through his/her threads and I saw nothing offensive other than he/she doesn't agree with you.

I bet your 'ignore' list is pretty damn long, and can't wait to be on it.
