I'm Hispanic, and the ONLY Hispanic immigration that I support is Hispanics that obey our laws and play by the rules.......a wall wouldn't affect legal immigration, not 1.

Illegal immigration has a continual and growing drain on society and changes America into another country because of the resistance to integrate. It's a much bigger problem than terrorists since people can be ignorant enough to buy the "everyone is welcome" thing, which terrorists don't enjoy.

Why don't you want a wall, or in other words, why don't you want to stop people we know nothing about from coming into the country illegally? Hispanics aren't the only ones who can take advantage of an open southern border you know.

How can one not see that lax immigration laws and open borders makes it much easier for terrorists to enter this country????

What concerns me most, is the would-be dictator in the White House. He's a far bigger threat to us, than any terrorists or immigrants.

That is a very good point. It might have actually changed my mind on the wall...which I wasn't too opinionated on to begin with.

I am just recently discovering that a lot of Hispanics are in favor of the wall...which is interesting to me and surprising. I saw a poll that found nearly 40% of Hispanics favor the wall which is a figure not too far below non-Hispanic whites. Blacks are far more anti-wall than Hispanics, only 24% of blacks favor it..which is kind of ironic considering it could be argued that illegal immigration hurts blacks economically.

Remember that big caravan that was headed to the U.S? (i never heard what happened to it) a Hispanic lady friend of mine is outraged over it...which surprised me. Why am I surprised at all this? I suppose it's because the media makes it seem like all Hispanics are anti-wall and think of it as racist.

Hispanics that came here through legal channels see the big picture. They are conservative and anti abortion. They do not employ the group think herd mentality that American blacks do.

There are many intelligent blacks out there that vote conservative, but most are still mind controlled by the democrat plantation. The promise of "free stuff" and the "I'm gonna git mine" attitude overpower common sense decision making at the voting booth. They are far too boxed into their group think to break free and vote in their best self interests.

Illegal immigration isn't "immigration" and Hispanics nor any other foreigners have a right to violate our immigration laws, thus the wall.
