"“What I’ve found is that in our communities,with few exceptions, there’s a sense that the state is not friendly toward immigrants, that they don’t feel welcomed and that they encounter this feeling of, ‘I don’t like you but I need you,”’ Eduardo Arnal said during a recent interview in Spanish."

Ya think? Maybe you should give interviews in English.

Many Mexicans increasingly feel unwelcome in Colorado because of a perceived anti-immigrant sentiment, and some are looking back home for opportunities as the economy here sours, Denver’s Mexican consul general says.

For the last time -- it isn't anti-immigrant, it is anti-ILLEGAL-immigrant. And that ain't no perception.

>>Added to that is the fact that many don’t consider the state a friendly place for immigrants.”

-Legal or illegal? Just once would I love to hear from these “immigrant organizations”(and this mexican) to just add one of the 2 descriptions instead of bunching everyone of us who waited years to acquire permanent resident status.

[Oldpuppymax]

The illegal presence of thugs and criminals bringing crime, drugs and disease into the country and they feel unloved? I couldn’t be more shocked.

[driftdiver]

Gee who wouldn’t like someone who uses our tax funded programs without giving anything in return. Who wouldn’t like someone who send 50% of their money out of the country?

In the very recent past money sent back to mexico comprised a very large part of their GDP. Thats money taken out of our economy forever.

[Viking2002]

An upside to Barney Fwank & Co. wrecking the economy: they're losing their constituency. And our communities are that much safer for it.

Message to conservatives:

Move to Colorado before it is too late!

[pallis]

Illegals aren’t immigrants. They are intruders, vandals, breaking into our home to rape, pillage and plunder. We don’t need them.

“there’s a sense that the state is not friendly toward immigrants”

In contrast, of course, with the warm welcome Mexico provides the Hondurans, Guatemalans et al who arrive uninvited at Mexico’s southern border.

“We don’t have statistics, but I can tell you with certainty that Mexicans are abandoning Colorado,” he said. “And for a variety of reasons, one being that they are not able to find jobs, they’re looking for other places and some even considering returning to Mexico definitely. Added to that is the fact that many don’t consider the state a friendly place for immigrants illegal immigrants.”

Ah. Much more precise and truthful now.

I think the illegals are leaving Colorado for Texas. What can I do to make them feel unwelcome?

[dljordan]

I went shopping here in Northern Colorado and I didn’t experience any dearth of “Immigrants”. Everywhere I looked I was surrounded by “Immigrants” many of them sporting those trendy gang tattoos. A pox upon their house.

[Redbob]

Hey, I went to “MexOnline.com” (no I’m not making this up!) to find the Mex consulate in Denver:
They lost their web address!
“consulmex-denver.com” is a dead-end!!!
In more ways than one...

But you can always call them at (303) 331-1110 to let that jackass Eduardo Arnal know what you think.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

No sympathy from me for illegals leaving...usually when lawbreakers move en masse to an area, the current residents are usually not happy about it...esp when lawbreakers take away jobs and add crime

[LA Conservative]

Hasta la pasta, campesinos. Let your government pay your way for now on.

[Joe Boucher]

Mexicans don’t feel welcomed in Colorado?
Well hells bells, come on down to Florida all you illegals.
Even though you guys are coming out of the cracks everywhere, no one seems to do a damn thing about illegals here. Just drive though Indiantown, Belle Glades, Pahokee, LaBelle and so many others and see countless illeglas and the G.D. feds do nothing about it.
