I find it bizzare that legal hispanic immigrants (I'm assuming that illegal immigrants have not yet been given the vote - even in California) would have that much sympathy with illegals who are, after all, taking their jobs too. If I immigrated to the US legally, with all the paperwork, hard work, and hoops to jump through that that entails I would be the first manning the border with a shotgun to see off those who think they can take the short cut.
I am not a US citizen so perhaps I do not know the full story but it just seems odd.

You are right. I know many hispanics and only a very minority of them have much sympathy for illegals for a variety of reasons.

I agree. I think it's insulting to law-abiding Hispanics to assume they'd want to be lumped in with illegals.
The term "Hispanics" itself is an illusion - there are many different countries and heritages under that umbrella - and they have their own hierarchy and feelings of whose inferior to whom. Whether it's PC to discuss it or not.
