In fact, if i dig deep enough (and i'm sure i don't have to), i can find examples of whites doing the same thing to a black family that moved into the neighborhood.

This thread is laughable. I'm really supposed to believe that you guys are all of a sudden so concerned with black families being pushed out by Hispanics? Really? This thread was actually started not as an anti-illegal Hispanic thread, but an anti-black one (with the joke being on us somehow). But of course, the OP thinks he's/she's being slick and the real intention of the thread is somehow cloaked.
Please provide proof that the majority or even a lot of the Irish immigrants came here illegally. I'll wait. That has nothing to do with blacks being pushed out of their neighborhoods today by Hispanic gangs or illegal immigrants anyway. What part of gangs and illegal immigrants aren't you getting with your strawman arguments?

You have data to back up your claims?

In some areas of the world this would be called a form of "ethnic cleansing".
Oh but that doesn't happen in America, land of the free, tolerant of all, multicultural center of the world, does it ?

From your post it sounded like you are trying to blur the lines between legal and illegal because you tried to claim that this is about Hisapnics in general. Many Hispanics do that.

The majority may be Mexican but Hispanics support their ethnic groups through the language they speak.

The two groups have a tumultuous history in this area. That's not the norm in the majority of areas in the U.S. Hope the perps are taken care of...

Not just language but culture also. Far too many Hispanics/Mexicans have a tribal mentality.

If you think about it on a national scale.

1.Disarm Americans.
2.Push amnesty for mostly one group of invaders

I'll admit I have mixed feelings on the matter. I will state that Newt Gingrich (of all people) had the sanest solution I've ever seen presented by either side of the issue, at least before he flip-flopped about it.

I tried to claim it's about "Hispanics in general" because of the thread title and the tone of the OP and several of the responses. I still maintain this is the case.
