Where do you stand?

All I ever hear about are the Hispanics. I also read that a majority of those crossing the border these days (from Mexico) are from Central American countries.

I heard that of the illegal immigrants in the US, some (I can't recall the exact figure) 80% or so are latin.

And let's talk about the tourist who go there and expect people to speak english (and shout at them if they don't..as that will help them understand), ask how much things are in "real money" (aka US dollars) ...love the beaches and the resorts....if only there weren't so many of "them" hanging around.

I think tourism is different. If you are catering to foreigners, then you SHOULD be able to speak their language. No?

Just to clarify, at least MY point of view, I'm not anti-immigration. If we had no immigration, this country would shut down. My ancestors immigrated here, too. Like someone said in a prior post, unless you're native american, we all immigrated here. I am anti-ILLEGAL immigration. I don't understand how people who enter this country illegally want to complain about rights! Those people forfeited those rights the day they crossed that border illegally. That's what kills me. I was actually surprised when I heard that they weren't already considered criminals. THEY'RE HERE ILLEGALLY, therefore, they have committed a crime. The way I see it, it's ok for them to come here without following the rules, so if that's the case, people kill people everyday. We can't stop it, so then should murder now be legal, too? I'm exaggerating, I know. But I hope you understand what I'm getting at.

What did any of us do to earn our civil/citizen rights....except be born in the right place?????

To answer your question...NOTHING. We didn't do anything. Nor are we going to a foreign country demanding rights we aren't entitled to. If people come here legally, heck yeah, all rights to them. Just follow the rules, is all I ask.
