"The melting pot is at work, as the survey shows that the children of Latino immigrants are English speakers and express views closer to the American mainstream that the immigrant generation,"

Living in an area where there are many Latinos, I am always surprised at the attitudes some people from other parts of the country have towards them.

In my experience they work hard, are usually very happy and fun to be around, and are very loyal friends and neigbors. They might not be perfect but then who is?

My experience as well. I don't care for illegal immigration and want improved border control, but I have found them to be a relatively conservative and church going group....same for Vietnamese.

And I suppose they intend to pay back all of the welfare, medical care and subsidized housing they get? I don't think so. To them this is THE gravy train.

Yeah but..are they here legally like my grandparents? Hmmmm? If they are not legal they belong back in their country of origin and never allowed to come again since they have already broken US laws.

My only problem with them is that the ones across the street from me fly the Mexican flag.
