Will the last American please turn out the light as we slide into the third world.

I wonder how many politicians said the same thing circa 1900 when we had huge waves of immigrants from Italy and Poland...

What does Latino or Hispanic mean? Who does it refer to?

The key word is immigrant. The Italians, Poles, Irish, German, etc., that came here truly wanted to be American citizens. They came here legally and were checked out for diseases and for employment skills. They took a citizenship test in English and an oath of loyalty. They taught their children English, to be proud of this country, and to do well in school. (My mother and her Italian friends were some of them.)

What we have now coming in illegally are not immigrants, no matter how the MSM wants to white-wash it. They have no interest in becoming American citizens and taking an oath of loyalty. Check out the protest pictures - waving Mexican flags and signs in Spanish are not how real immigrants act.
