From what I hear, the Latino citizens of the US, the ones who are allowed to vote, the ones who did the right thing, followed the laws and came to this country in the authorized manner, do not like the willy-nilly illegal immigration any more than you or I do.

I don't know if it's the truth, but that's what I hear.

I've seen/read this is exactly true.

My sister-in-law is from Mexico (legally) and became a citizen a few years back.  Her family works hard and are very productive members of society.  She would agree with you.  Her family went through a LOT to assimilate to our culture and they are not happy about illegals coming in and demanding things.

"Latino" or "Hispanic" is a little too broad brush.
Cubans tend toward conservative and Republican (anti-Castro) and do not generally get along too well with the other groups.
Puerto Ricans tend to look down on Mexicans and other Latin Americans, so may be expected to oppose illegals from those areas.
All the Mexican natives I know do not believe there should be any border control at all. (BTW, most of these are US citizens or married to US citizens and none are illegals AFAIK.)
I have not discussed the topic with the only Ecuadorean I know, but he is very liberal overall.

Indeed, and this is a perfect example of the ignorance of both parties who think that by cracking down on illegal immigration, they will lose the latino/hispanic (let's just say "Mexican" since that's what we mean) vote. I know plenty of legal Mexican-Americans --some who have been in this country for generations who are feeling the "illegal immigrant" backlash and certainly don't appreciate being lumped together with illegal border crossers. They are affected by the devaluation of their wages the same as everybody else.

That's VERY VERY true!! The majority of those who came legally are real POED!
