Sounds like the kind of person who should be encouraged to run for office.

He really is great. This is what most people don’t understand, most of the legal hispanics in Arizona are Americans with a Mexican heritage, but they are Americans first and foremost.

[La Lydia]

Most of the legal Hispanics in New Mexico, as well. Some of the families have been there since the 17th century.

[McGavin999]

Same here, but we also have some second and third generation and everything in between who are first and foremost American citizens. They are rightfully proud of their heritage, but make no mistake, they are AMERICAN.

Why hasn`t AZ filed a Lawsuit against the Federal Government to force them TO enforce the existing immigration laws? Can`t they do it on behalf of the tax payers ripped of by AND the victims of illegal alien`s criminal actions? Why not get a group of states to file as a kind of class action against the Feds? At least this`ll force an investigation into whether or not they are holding back on enforcement (like that’s not self evident) and if it`s systemic. (DUH,no really?) We need to force the issue, and the fact it`d be just in time for the election won`t exactly hurt.

Some of the families have been there since the 17th century.

Some were here before any Englishman ever set foot on this continent.

[La Lydia]

Yes. Santa Fe: 1610; Plymouth Rock: 1620.

Every legal Hispanic in America should be supporting every effort to rid our country of illegal aliens whether Hispanic, Irish, Chinese or whatever.

American should fight for America.

[wardaddy]

What percentage of Hispanics in America place blood over country?

I tried to warn folks here of this years ago and was not well received.
