Exactly! Those of us who are or who know Americans of Hispanic ancestry know that those Americans are the most adamant about illegal immigration because it is illegals who are taking THEIR jobs, lowering wage scales and generally lowering the quality of life in Hispanic communities!
A fact that has ESCAPED GWB for years !!!

Bush has been pro-illegal since the day he took office!!!!
Right on all counts, kelly.
The Americans of Mexican ancestry that I’ve had the honor of being neighbors to, related to, friends with, well I can’t imagine my life without them, like my uncle Bernardo Pacheco, whose paintings will ALWAYS hang in my home. I miss celebrating cinco de mayo...you don’t dare do that these days if you’re a gringo! Then on St. Patricks we’d all sing Irish songs and drink dos equis!
I miss real diversity! Diversity isn’t shoving a foreign flag in my face while telling me to go back to Europe.
That economic issue only a small portion of it. The bigger issue for many of us is that we appreciate the value and the responsibility of being an American. We made a conscious and deliberate choice to learn a new language and a new culture, to renounce any loyalty to any other government, and to take up the responsibility of citizenship. We made a commitment.
We'll be damned before we let anyone sneak in, break our laws, demand to get the benefits without putting in that commitment, and expect to remold this country after the failure they left behind.
