Uhhh...Not ALL Latinos are indigenous Indian Mexicans. Latino is an ETHNICITY. And not all Latinos are illegal immigrants. Can we like sticky this at the top of the forum? Perhaps post a banner? This seems like the most obvious knowledge to even a person of below average intelligence.

Will somebody tell the loony liberals that being anti- illegal immigration does not equal hate speech, or being a racist, or anti-latino? The liberals sure are doing their damnest to stamp out diverse ideas and opinions that oppose their view, which is rather anti-American if you ask me.

How come these moonbats never complain about the rabid anti-Americanism being promoted in Mexico, where most illegal aliens hail from? Do we really want these third-world anti-Americans leeching off of this country getting free education, health services, all at tax-payer's expense? And sending most of the money they make under the table back to their "homeland"?

I fail to see how it's wrong for any country to make it a priority take care of its own people and legal immigrants, rather than carrying non-tax paying freeloading illegal immigrants on its back. If it were Americans invading Mexico illegally and demanding that Mexico accommodate them, liberals would be screaming bloody murder.

Save America and deport all illegal aliens. Don't start with the idiotic "but Europeans stole this land from Indians" b.s. ******* argument. Ascribing modern mores to an ancient people where conquering new worlds was as noble an idea as modern man conquering the moon makes absolutely no logical sense. If we do that then let's just go back a couple thousand more years and send everybody back to where they originally came from: Africa. There. End of everybody's problems.

Latio comes from Latin America, which if my memory serves me right is central America? Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, and so on.

"Lou Dobbs creates a venomous atmosphere for all immigrants, particularly Latinos," she said. "His sources are questionable at best, unquestionably racist at worst."



I am glad CNN is being called out on this one, however, CNN will retort they are being "balanced" by offering both sides.
Wrong. Lou Dobbs is against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. There is a major difference between legal immigrants and legal ones. He has never once spoken against legal immagration. In fact, he is favor of it as he knows it is what built America. So be pro-legal immigration. Be anti-illegal immigration.

Latinos can be from Latin America, from Spain, from Italy, etc. It has nothing to do with any particular race. They can be Caucasian, Black or indigenous or mixed.

Yes, and those of us who are true Latins (Central European Alpinids) are tired of the word being hijacked.

This is Latin:
