Add to the problem that many within the hispanic community act as enablers and facilitators sheltering and shielding these criminals. It's true that all ethnic communities have those that do the same thing but think of the scale...
EXACTLY!!!

Now, if only we could hammer this logic into the heads of every single person who equates anti-illegal immigration with anti-Hispanic sentiment and/or xenophobia...

anti-illegals or anti-hispanic
Both.. I hate Mexicans and Illegals and if you are an Illegal Mexican I loathe you and wouldn't spit in your mouth if you were dying of thirst.

Nasty, dirty culture.. Only good thing about that culture is the food.

Being honest... and racist... I will front up to that .... I can't stand Mexicans (not Puerto Ricans or Spaniards.. mexicans)

Don't equate all anti-illegal sentiment with anti-Mexican/anti-Hispanic sentiment.

Remember, there will always be extremists on both sides of an issue so distinguishing the difference between both and not blurring the issue is necessary.

Agree to Disagree. Now I don't like them myself but, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Well one can not accuse you of not being perfectly honest with how you feel. LOL. I actually feel the same way about most of the managers where I work.
Not all Mexicans or even most are bad folks. I'll even say that not even most illegals are evil nasty folks. But all illegals are in fact criminals,self centered and too arrogant to wait in line. I loath all illegals for this very reason. They invade our country and expect to be treated with favoritism. They expect special rights and absolution for their many many crimes and yet deserve only deportation. They are like a plaque of locusts devouring our resources and returning very little in exchange. Yes I loath all illegals.

Re: Spanish culture

I don't quite understand the reason for your long winded rant on Spanish culture. Of course people recognize Spanish culture as an important part of America's fabric (primarily in the Southwest), but the key word is "part". America is a melting pot that is made up of many different cultures, and that blend is what makes America attractive for so many people around the world.
I completely agree. Here in Wyoming and also in Colorado, the French influence is seen much more frequently than Spanish. Does that mean that the U.S. should roll over for mass illegal immigration from France?

The Russians owned Northern California and Alaska at one point--should they be allowed to come and go now at will?

The argument that Spanish influence in the U.S. somehow allows for the descendents of those colonists to now re-colonize the U.S. is ridiculous at best, let alone that inane "Aztlan" argument.

Amazing that people like you still exist. I'll take 3 dirt poor Mexicans over your hate filled DNA any day.

What a despicable and virulent post.

It's people like you who attach the label of racist to those of us who merely want our laws enforced and our borders secured, country of origin aside.

I hope to god you aren't reproducing.
