That was a very childish remark that shows a lack of anything better to say, and I find it offensive.
I ask you politely to refrain from making those kinds of remarks.

The only people who take extremists nutjobs like that seriously are the handful of people who follow them, and you guys who use it to justify your fears.

Jose Gutierrez and La Raza Unida are hardly accepted by any community, or taken very seriously.

As if the millions of Latinos in this country are listening to this guy and following that train of thought .
certainly the la raza members are.......

Or do you refer to the anti-illegal immigration crowd. So far I have not seen many posts that were anti-legal immigration. Illegals are all criminals 100% of them and should not be rewarded for the crimes they commit.

I am anti illegal immigrant----------regardless of race/ethnicity.

Legal immigrants are welcome in my eyes.

Thats why I asked. I have seen no anti immigration posts. Although I have seen pro-illegals refer to illegal immigrants as simply immigrants and those who oppose illegal immigration as anti immigration.

Really? I have not seen nearly as much on this forum as I have experienced in real life.
Extremists from both sides are equally bad. But I tend to lean in favor of anti-illegals. My wife is a legal immigrant. Respect for our laws, culture and language are what make her exceptional as far as an immigrant goes. She is also Honest Hard working and thankful. She asks for no special considerations or rights. What a contrast from the illegal immigrants.
