Thank you for posting this very interesting thread header.
All stated has been pretty much my take on the situation and along the way and how I see the people and have heard those who have been interviewed etc. as well.
What could these people have accomplished and could have accomplished had they gathered like this in mass before their government demanding what they instead are demanding of the US???
Sadly and as you have stated ....they want it now with no thought to the future people of their country nor the familes still there.
I cannot find any empathy for their plight when they could have done this before their own government.

That question is from an American point of view. These are not Americans. Think Old World. They have never witnessed at any point in their lives, a government that executes justice.
While most Hispanics are Catholic, it seems obvious that they do not attend church and/or practice the religion.
