Hispanics, hispanics, hispanics, hispanics

latinos, latinos, latinos, latinos.

Mexicans, Mexicans, Mexicans..... LOL

Labels, labels, labels

Does anybody really know the difference between a "Hispanic" and a "Latino," (trick question.. it' ain't as easy as it seems)

Is an Argentinian hispanic? Latino? both?

How about if he is from German ancestry?... What if he is mixed with Indian?

How about a Peruvian? What if he is a professional, rich and belongs to the Conservative party (we have both yo know - Liberals and conservatives) and it goes on and on and on.

The problems we are dealing with is with ** MEXICANS ** nothing could have made it more clear than the FLAGS you saw.. sure, you have others nationalities, but it's mainly Mexican. Let's use the right labels.

One thing I would like those that favor amnesty for illegal aliens to address is fairness. There are millions in EurAsia that fill out thier papers and wait thier turn. But because we have ten of million of illegals here already they never get the change to legally immigrate to the usa. Is that fair? How about a little compassion for those waiting to legally immigrate.

What about all the disease coming north into the usa with all the illegals, legal immigrates must pass a health check, TB is back and G*d knows what else, is that fair to the American people to subject them to third world diseases we eradicated years ago?

I could go on about crime, wages, social services, etc but I think I have made my point.

Hispanics still vote predominately Democrat, even in Texas. But the difference has gotten much smaller than it was 5-10 years ago. And this is no accident. Again, Hispanics tend to be culturally conservative, and they are are natural source of GOP votes. But you must either cultivate this source or risk losing it to the Democrats. The last thing I want to see is Texas turning into another California.
