Political Correctess run amok. Why doesn't the media ever debate the law with African Americans? They are US citizens too last I knew.
Why ask anti immigration groups if they support a racist law. That's like asking the KKK if they support Jim Crow laws.

Plenty of Hispanics who are against illegal immigration and against this law. The majority of Hispanics who support the Arizona law are vendidos.

What is a vendido?

What is the main reason that Hispanics against illegal immigration are against this law? Fear of racial profiling?

It's okay to ask them - as long as they'll ask others and are prepared for the American through-and-through MA's to be just like anyone else.

The PC media most likely asks only Mexicans and the more Mexican-Mexican-Americans because they give the more politically correct answers that the media wants to hear.

It's also the media's agenda to try to turn this into a race matter - and it wouldn't suit them to have black Americans for example agree with immigration laws.

Why not ask them?
OP..I hope that you aren't comparing Mexican-Americans or Mexicans to rapists?

Are you saying that mexican-americans are criminals from the moment they are born?

I believe that's called "racism"

A "vendido" would be someone who racists believe is a sell-out to his so-called race. Mexican isn't a race of course but those who use this term believe it is. The racists believe that a hispanic would always put race before country, and so anything that isn't what The Race (aka La Raza) instructs would make someone a "vendido" to the race. Patriotism to the USA, a belief in the need for laws and an orderly immigration process would make someone a "vendido" to the race which is supposed to be the only thing that matters.

Todo por La Raza, nada afuera La Raza. Everything for The Race, Nothing aside from The Race.

Then why do you suppose the MSM does this? It doesn't dare ask a black or white American about the Arizona law. It assumes that hispanics of recent Mexican descent would automatically be against immigration laws for the USA or believe that anyone from Mexico has a right to break any immigration related law they like.

I think the OP is simply asking why the MSM is so apparent in it's agenda.

Would white people be offended if we pass a law that allows police to stop and interrogate anybody that looks like a neo-nazi or KKK member.

They make white people look bad, so why won't white people support that law?
