To me this is more of an issue that blood is thicker than water. From what I have observed over a number of years is that legal hispanics will always side with illegals.

Unfortunately generally true. Depends on the circumstances. Many Hispanic families are part legal and part illegal so they will enable illegals. Where Hispanics are concentrated into communities and barrios this is true. When they are spread out not so true. The university educated Hispanics will tend not to coddle illegals. Many times legal Hispanics are the employers of illegals and get rich off them

I know an 80yo hispanic who was born in this country. She has been saying for years that we need to take in the “Poor Mexican”. She has no qualms about the illegal alien. As a matter of fact she buys food stamps from them.

Don't doubt it

I also know that many of the government employees doling out food stamps and welfare in the Valley are legal hispanics. They have no problem accepting lies from illegals.

This is going on all over

Today's "legal hispanic immigrant" is very likely the beneficiary of one of the countless quazi-amnesty programs. Hurricane in Honduras? Quake in Nicaragua? War in El Salvador? Or just snuck in from Mexico 25 years ago.....

We have had programs for all of them, leading to citizenship for the parasites that just never go home.

Then these former-illegals-turned-legals naturally become the leading enablers and door openers for each following wave of illegals....soon to be made legal.

And the process goes on and on and on.

State by state, it’ll have a strong effect.

I’m hearing that I-10 out of OK into TX looks like the “Grapes of Wrath,” with illegals loading up and leaving. (Better to leave in your car for another state, than to be deported by ICE and lose the car.)

All it’ll take is one but I think that’s ultimately what they want to happen in Oklahoma anyway is for the illegals to go elsewhere. What we really need is for every state to pass the same kind of legislation, including about anchor babies.

Usually, I just refer to what is going on in my area when discussing culture. With an approximately 95% Hispanic community, I see and hear a litle of everything.

Oklahoma is one of the most “Indian” states in the Union. With plenty or real Indians and real reservations. With lots of whites and blacks with Indian blood in them. Just look it as the the American Indians running the Mexican Indians out of town

The best plan is for the states with cojones and American pride to enact anti illegal alien legislation. Illegals keep trying to dodge this state by state, finally give up and go home to Mexico and the wonderful nations south of it

Be like Rawhide-
Get those doggies rollin, rollin , rollin, rollin
Head ‘em up
Move ‘em out!
Rawhide!

I agree with you regarding the amnesty programs for the different countries. We haven’t had a decent president regarding illegal immigration for 25 years and that is starting with Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush. Not a one of them controlled our borders.

Most politicians will sell us all , using our money, for a measley vote.

Many of the gangs we have today started from the citizens of the amnesty programs. The recipients of the amnesty didn’t appreciate anything. I think all of these programs were started because of some UN great American experiment. What a sell out.

However,I really like Oklahoma’s approach to the anchor baby. If something doesn’t happen soon, our children and grandchildren will not have a chance in the country that their ancestors fought and died for.

Worst things I ever heard said about Hispanics were said by Mexicans. Worst things I ever heard about Blacks were said by Hispanics.

None of this is simple or obvious.

Those would be the south and southwestern states, liberal legislators in the rustbelt would faint or have a heart attack at even the thought of doing such a thing.
