Didn't they protest in Cali a few years ago, legals and illegals and have the audacity to say if they protest America will fall/stop b/c all the working jobs they do won't get done?
Maybe the LEGAL Hispanics in AZ are sick of the open border policy and want a Jan Brewer type to crack down on the illegal immigration taking place? Most Hispanics I know despise how illegals are making a mockery of our immigration systems.
Instead of questioning us on CD why Hispanics don't vote and protest, why don't you tell us yourself. Aren't you, yourself, of Hispanic origin?

Me to. Im a Chicano who dont like illegals, even Mexican ones.
Because it's rude to speak another language in front of a third party and in this case that would be customers.
My friends speak Polish in front of me all the time, doesn't bother me one bit. I had another friend who is Iranian who often spoke Farsi, didn't bother me at all. I had co-workers who were Filipino and spoke Tagalog, didn't bother me either. I often ask them to teach me words. I can order a beer in 4 languages, as well as curse someone out.
Yaknow, following the rational of the OP that banning Spanish is bigoted I guess that means that Quebec Canada is the most bigoted prejudiced place in North America....
English is almost exclusively banned in that city by both word and print --- French is the exclusive language in schools.... Yet the population has no problems with the laws.

I always wondered that too. Everyone, liberal and conservative, lumps all Hispanics into one pot like we're a black and white category like white and black. We're not. We're all colors, and we come from any of the ~20 Hispanic countries around the world. We are NOT the same. My family migrated to Puerto Rico between 1750 and 1800 from Spain and that does not make me Spanish, and 3rd generation American and that does not make me a Mexican. We're not a race, we're an ETHNICITY, and it's a stupid designation. Why do I have to have a label as a minority and have victimhood status just because I have a Spanish last name?
And I certainly hate it that, if I'm against illegal immigration I'm a race traitor and gringo lover (I know of a few people on here that explicitly accuse me of being a self-hating racist)
I humbly suggest you do a mite bit of research on this subject....
That way you can take your foot out of your mouth.....
Bubba, I am actually sitting in Quebec writing this at the moment.
I know the language situation in Quebec inside and out.
