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.

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.
