Why is the media using the term "Hispanic" to refer to "Illegal Immigrants"?
Because the loony left is openly racist, yet, they are in denial of this. It is shocking how any thinking person can fall for this stupidity. No surprise that we have the brainless dunces in offices.

Well if they have relatives here they can bunk with and are collecting welfare through their anchors that probably won't stop them. They just want to move to sanctuary states where they will have no fear of deportation.

And you base this on the speculation that they somehow contribute as much or more than legal citizens and residents?

Exactly. "Hispanics" aren't fleeing anything. If they are American citizens or here legally, they have no reason to flee.

There is a sinister reason to use incorrect terms when referring to illegal aliens and trying to make it about race -- the same people who like to remind everyone that not all illegals are hispanic will pull out terms like hispanic when referring to illegals when they think it suits them.

Asian, Haitian, European illegals although far less in number are also likely "fleeing" although fleeing is also bad terminology. They're doing nothng more than packing up their bags like they did when they were fleeing from their own homelands and going elsewhere. California is the place for them to be.

The truth is a big part of our economy is destroyed due to illegal immigrants.

Proof that the law is racist. No one is applying to the agriculture jobs here.

I used to believe that this was true across the board, and it's supposedly a 'fact' documented by Eric Schlosser.

I just don't buy it now, though. I think it's true that a lot of illegals work the fields and some might even work in construction and other lines of work, and it's probably also true that the authorities know they're here and look the other way. I don't doubt that. It's the fact that you know 'many' people who can't find jobs for this reason. I think those who are unemployed can't find work because the economy is crap. Period. In most cases, illegals are hired when employers need jobs and nobody else is available in the regular job market.

"Some" might even work construction and other lines of work? You'd be dead wrong then. It is a whole lot more then "some". As for employers not being able to find American workers that is hogwash also.
