haha, it's always the same few White Cubans and Mexican coconuts. You just need Lupe Moreno there with her BBQ Chicken.

CNN is covering this as if these Latinos had two heads but at least it is covering it. I don't know what the exact percentages are but I know there are a lot of Hispanics who are opposed to Amnesty and support border security. As a legal immigrant, now a US Citizen told me a couple years ago, "I know first hand what Mexico is like and I don't want that **** up here". The competitive pressure for jobs put Hispanic US Citizens at the biggest disadvantage in many cases.

However many do not speak out except to their friends. They get no respect from the media, and the "activist" crowd subjects them to the most vicious attacks. Liberal Anglos are given a pass to declare open season on anti-Amnesty Latinos, joining in the ridicule and shunning.

Bottom line, we must join together across racial lines, support each other, and demand that the borders be secured. Supporting these legal changes in Arizona is a good first step.

I left Mexico to find a better life in the States. I am a contributing member of society, learned the language of my country of choice and take pride in maintaining my culture's traditions: at home. I'm all for closing the border to those who want to come here illegally and overrun our communities with the very crime, filth, and social disregard that I LEFT Mexico to avoid! I wish I could say that I embrace everyone coming here for a better life, but the reality is that most of the illegal immigrants breed like rats and expect us, the taxpayers to support their lazy asses. I don't mind hardworking people being allowed to come and work, but not to simply pop out kid after anchor kid and expect to be taken care of. Enough is enough. More power to the people of Arizona for trying to take care of this long overdue issue.

Hi Digger,

I've linked this entry here where you will also find a very interesting video to add to your post.

I'm an American citizen. My paternal grandparents were Mexicans. My maternal grandmother was a New Mexico mestiza (Native American and Spanish) and my maternal grandfather was an Anglo-American. Culturally I practice both Anglo-American US culture and Mexican culture. I read, write & speak fluently in both English and Spanish. I've traveled significantly in both the United States and Mexico. I even lived in Mexico for a time. Because of my appearance most people would call me Hispanic or Mexican or Mexican-American or Latino. But those are their labels for me. As you can see, it can get complicated.

However, there are some values that transcend any and all cultures. One of those values is a commitment to truth, whether that truth be personal truth, scientific or mathematical truth, historical truth or logical truth. And that's really at the heart of this debate about foreign nationals living in the US in violation of immigration laws.

The truth is that such people are invading the US in violation of US law and sovereignty. The truth is that these people avail themselves of government benefits, educational and social benefits to which they are not entitled and which were meant for US citizens. The truth is that they take jobs which were not intended for them. The truth is that they siphon money out of American communities and send it back to their home countries to the detriment of the US communities from which that money came. The truth is that the vast majority of these people are from Mexico. The truth is that the Mexican government encourages this behavior because the Mexican government and the class of wealthy Mexicans make money off of it, both in expenditures they don't have to make for their own citizens and in money that the general population of Mexico receives in wire transfers. The truth is that many US citizens who self-identify as Hispanics, Mexican-Americans and Chicanos are major bigots who carry a deep resentment within themselves against the US and its citizens who don't identify as Hispanics. The truth is that many of these people who are academics and lawyers work ceaselessly to brainwash young American citizens with Hispanic surnames to believe that they are a victimized and powerless class that should hate and treat with disrespect other US citizens who don't self-identify as Hispanics. They also teach these young Americans that they should identify with Mexico and Mexican citizens against their own country and fellow citizens. These propagandists work in our public schools and in government and in the media and have no compunction about lying about history or anything else. Their only goal is power.

Right now, they are able to influence masses of ignorant people who self-identify as Hispanics and Mexicans because the belief system they offer justifies the illegal, unethical and dishonest activities in which many of them engage. Don't be fooled for a minute. These people are rabble-rousing opportunists. They don't represent anyone other than themselves although they go around waving the banner of "being Hispanic". Baloney! They are like any other small group that seeks to have absolute power over other people (e.g. Nazis, Stalinists, Chinese communists, the Khmer rouge, extreme capitalists, etc.). These people are corrupt and their unethical corruption shows in the current temper tantrums they are throwing regarding AZ 1070. The so-called "Hispanic" leaders have lied and misrepresented that law because they know that if the government of AZ enforces that law it is the beginning of the end for their opportunistic nationalist ambitions and their greedy commitment to self-enrichment. So they are busy "alborotando el gallinero" (raising a ruckus in the chicken coop) because they know their only hope is get all the self-identifying Hispanics and Mexicans to make as much noise as possible no matter how much that noise is all based on lies.

If what the Human Genome Project says is true, i.e. that there is no scientific evidence for the concept of human races then the whole idea of people who represent and advocate for the "Hispanic" race becomes the transparent falsehood that it is and then it can be exposed as the ridiculous sham that it is. It becomes obvious then that the May Day marches are all about an attempt to intimidate the population of US citizens who still think the rule of law and national sovereignty matter.

In my opinion the signing of AZ 1070 and the ensuing theatrics of the "Hispanic" community are the opening battle in the second Mexican-American war. Right now the battle lines are being drawn. Like it or not every person in the US, whether a citizen, a legal resident or a foreign national living here in violation of immmigration laws is going to have to decide where he or she stands on the issue of US national sovereignty and the right of US citizens to have their laws respected and followed by all who live within the boundaries of the US. Where are you going to stand?

Yolanda, the war had started years ago.

The "genome project" is a political project with carefully crafted press releases, actual scientists state a reality that is a bit different.

Nationalism would be good for this country, but not mestizo Nationalism born out of Mexico.

So-called 'hispanics' that support the law of our land need to band together to reign in these rogue communities, just like educated and conforming negros need to do with their huge criminal population.

You can't rely on the White majority, we have twisted our collective mind into a massive guilt-paranoia syndrome. We keep ourselves in check, time for others to do the same.

Yolanda, your comments are featured in my latest article:

More Americans of Hispanic Descent Come Out Against Illegal Immigration And Its Supporters

I am a Turkish American, yes my parents LEGALLY came from the Republic of Turkey, and I am a proud college student, taxpayer, US Citizen born and raised in the United States and proud to be a United States citizen. We all unite as ONE as American Citizen, doesn't matter if you are an American of Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, Pacific Islander, or Native descent. We have to protect our borders and defend each and every single inch of our lands. La Raza, Leftists and Anarchists can squeal like little babies saying that people who are against ILLEGAL Immigration are racist, bigots, haters and Nazis. It is hate groups like La Raza, Brown Berets and Mecha who want to indoctrinate US Citizens of Hispanic descent with vicious hate and these hate groups want to massacre all non-Mexicans and Mexican Faschists want to claim that they are all Indian (NOTE: Some Mexicans are White, Some Christian Arab and Some Jewish, not all Indian). So that indigenous claim needs to be debunked as evidence and I believe that we, the patriots of the United States of America will create as massive of a buildup on the Mexican border and protect the South of our borders. Does drug trafficing, Islamic Terror, narco-terror, and other terror groups come from the North of our border? NO. Do you see people flooding in hordes illegally from the North disrespecting our laws, collecting welfare checks cranking 20-30 kids, refusing to get jobs, commiting crimes, robberies, flooding our jail systems, murdering our men, women and children in the most cold blooded ways. This is illegal aliens of ALL ancestries, not just Hispanic. Legal immigrants work their tails off to come to the US and they cannot come to the US and enjoy the American dream.

Thanks to all these Illegal Aliens who hate America, we, the American citizens are seeing job cuts, the big banks gone totally out of control, our prison systems are flooded completely by illegal aliens and also Illegal Aliens commited many crimes such as child molestation, theft, car burglary, prostitution, drug trafficing, home burglary, and other things.

We should have watched our backs and started to look after our borders in the 1950s or 1960s, but no, unfortunately, we have a Left Wing Liar from Kenya (who is not eligible to be US president since he was born in Kenya, not USA) who is busy trying to claim that he has done something about the Lybian efforts, as well as the May 1 huntdown of Osama Bin Laden and others. The fall of Gaddafi was done by the Lybian people, as well as the fall of Mubarak was done by the Egyptian people and hunting down by Bin Laden was done by American patriots. We have a person who has an insufficient birth certificate sending troops to other countries when our country is being destroyed by a flood of America-hating illegal aliens who come from the South, as well as terrorism coming from the South, plus drug trafficing and militias that want to destroy America. It is La Raza, Mecha, Aztlan and the Brown Berets who are racists. Minutemen are just simply protecting America from being totally destroyed. The leftist mass media is demonizing and vilifying anti-illegal immigrant activists and trying to label them as racists. THEY ARE THE RACISTS. They need to know that this movement is growing massively and most anti-Illegal Alien supporters are American citizens who are not even White. I am stating this as a person who has parents who LEGALLY came from Turkey, became naturalized citizens, became well educated and both have PHD degrees and contribute to society. Versus illegal aliens who hate, loathe and envy the greatness of America.

So my last suggestion is that we need to treate La Raza as a group which is as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan, Black Panthers, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Neo Nazis. They want to destroy the fabric of how America prospered for so many centuries and rose to being the ultimate superpower. We need to expose there really hateful agenda and we need to expose the facts of illegal immigration through the mass media and slam all liberals, especially Barrack Obama, who has ties with Jeremiah Wright, who hates and loathes America to death. I can't believe the Media tried to silence people who know Obama's evil colors and claim that people who hate Obama are anti-Black. THAT IS FALSE AND A LOAD OF B/S. There are many African Americans who are willing to expose how vile Obama is, such as James David Manning and Alan Keyes. We need a patriotic revolution in the USA. RON PAUL 2012, that is all I say!
