I am weird, I think that if I was hispanic and got my citizenship thru the proper method, i would resent someone just getting it by breaking law.

That’s not how the majority feels.
Largely uneducated, in some cases not even literate (Call it racist all you want, it’s true), these folks are like cattle and they are herded along. Most see a form of solidarity with others of the same ethnicity, and there is a reason why they run around with Mexican flags in the US. Think of this, many from Puerto Rico (A US territory getting massive US aide) don’t even feel any sense of loyalty or relationship with the US.
The Democrats promise amnesty and government cheese for them, so like in ancient times where we had bread and games while living in poverty and disease, these people feel appeased and loyal to a party that essentially cuts the throat of those Hispanics that are here legally. Think about it, if I’m a Latino and working construction or food service, what happens when thousands flood the job market? But again,think about the level of education and where the loyalties lie for may of them. All they see is someone helping what they see as their own and promising them more government entitlements.

Yes, but you are appealing to white, Anglo-Saxon values that are of no interest to the rest of the world, except to the extent that those values can be used to ruin us.
I am sure you both are right, that most Hispanics who went through the system and/or fought for our country to become legal citizens are not fond of having millions just walk across the border. Yet it seems that many American Hispanics, even some politicians and former pols, are all up in arms over this law as if we had declared the burning of witches. I have news for them; in almost every other country in the world, it is already illegal to sneak into the country illegally. Also the Arizona law only affirms federal immigration law; it only says that they are actually going to enforce federal law on this matter. How can Obama fight against enforcing federal immigration law? That looks bad on many levels.
