Say what you will, it has been made into an hispanic issue. Have you seen interviews with other ethnicities? All I ever see are sob stories about hispanics. What about all the other groups? How come no one interviews a Polish or Asian family about their plight? How come we never see a story about some hard-working Russian who risked his life to come here? Is it because they come here and assimilate? Or, are hispanics treated as some noble immigrant because he sends most of his money back home to his family never considering supporting and becoming a part of the country that he sponges off of?

I have seen stories about one third of the Russian immigrants ending up on welfare programs --- the Chinese bring in their elderly and get them on SSDI and Medicaid --- along with others.

I think what needs to end is family reunification --- end the fraudulent sponsorship program where the sponsor never pays a dime for the support of their immigrant. End all types of welfare for non-native born. Getting rid of the mooching types --- no matter where they're from would free up some space for working types.

I think the other reason is that the other immigrants tend to learn English -- so they don't stand out. When you're in Walmart and notice the messages over the loudspeaker are all in Spanish it does make it seem like a hispanic issue. If the messages were all in Polish or something else then it would seem like a Polish or other issue.

All the latino organizations, LULAC, Mencha, LA RAZA, etc. All funded heavily by the likes of the FORD Foundation, etc.

That & their mexicans politicians, V. Fox & consuls, who are in the US media daily, demanding their citizens have "rights" & they want US laws changed for them.
