One more thing.

This is a link to a web site started by Col. Al Rodriguez whose’ family, like many Americans,(such as my own grandparents from Russia and Poland)immigrated legally.

http://dontspeakforme.org/

An excerpt from the site:

“Col. Rodriguez became fed up watching media coverage of the mass protests of April. ‘Their leaders were saying it was a march for immigrant rights and a Latino/Hispanic movement,’ says Rodriguez. ‘I thought to myself, Hey, those are illegal aliens, not immigrants!’ Col. Rodriguez began speaking out to others saying, ‘I’m of Hispanic ancestry and those people are acting like they speak for me. Well, you don’t speak for me!’”

“Col. Rodriguez began asking others to help him reach more people who felt the same way and ‘You Don’t Speak for Me’! formed from this loose coalition of individuals. It is a group of concerned Americans of Hispanic/Latino heritage, some first or second generation, others recent legal immigrants, who believe illegal immigration harms America and a guest worker amnesty will do the same.”

AND ALSO THIS (SEE THE ABOVE POST)

Those who have waited in line to become Americans (that includes many Latinos) are not pleased with those that would throw the borders wide open to illegals... illegals that have “cut in” to the front of the line at the behest of those leaders: that would give away OUR country for personal gain.
