>"The defining issue is not that social benefits might be denied, it is turning them all into felons..."<

-I don't support making illegal entry into the U.S. a felony, provided the illegal entrant isn't also engaged in a criminal enterprise such as human smuggling, drug smuggling, etc.

I do view identity theft, using forged documents, other peoples social security numbers, etc for ID as a felony.
It is not a victimless crime.

>"The far right has successfully run a well organized campaign to turn public opinion against the illegal Mexicans."<

-The protesters for illegals did that to themselves, by waving Mexican flags, screaming epitaphs, etc.


>"This has rubbed of on legal mexicans and native born as well as immigrants from other nations who have joined the protests. "<

-Well, the protesters have rubbed many folks the wrong way, also.


>"Today's hispanic high school kids in Florida..."<

-I'd rather not look at people as a voting block. I don't vote based on my ethnicity; most thinking people don't.

You may, or may not, support the felony language, but you are part of the anti crowd and differ from them by very little.
