I see most American "hispanics" in support of these mexicans (at least in my spheres).

I wholeheartedly refute this. My family immigrated legally from Cuba in the 1960s. We can't stand what is happening or the fact that we are lumped in with lawbreakers because we're hispanic. My family came here honorably, by the rules of this country, and were proud to become citizens of this great nation. What is happening in CA is a disgrace.

That is why I put the quotes aound "hispanic". I hate even using the term. The word "hispanic" tends to make people think of one culture.. or even one ethnicity.

Cubans have as much in common with mexicans as a go-cart does with a bus. The only commonality most Hispanic groups have with each other is the Spanish language. And they don't even speak that the same.

The "hispanics" that are in my sphere are mostly of Mexican descent, or current illegal aliens from mexico. In the areas of the US in peril, this is mostly the case. That was my point.

Not in my mind, you're not.
