Turns out that minorities and, si amigo, Hispanics (identified as likely voters, i.e. U.S. citizens) are also in favor of immigration restrictions.

The following figures are from a poll of Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American likely voters conducted by Zogby International; this survey was sponsored by the Center for Immigration Studies. Link: http://cis.org/Minority-Views-Immigration

1. Most members of minority groups think immigration is too high.

Hispanics: 56%
Asian-Americans: 57%
African-Americans: 68%

2. Most members of minority groups think that illegal immigration is not caused by limits on legal immigration, but by a lack of enforcement.

Hispanics: 61%
Asian-Americans: 69%
African-Americans: 70%

3. Most members of minority groups agree that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs.

Hispanics: 65%
Asian-Americans: 65%
African-Americans: 81%

4. As a solution to the problem of illegal immigration, most members of minority groups choose enforcement to encourage illegals to go home, rather than approving a plan for conditional legalization.

Hispanics: 52%
Asian-Americans: 57%
African-Americans: 50%

These views are in sharp contrast to the leaders of most ethnic advocacy organizations, who argue for increased immigration and legalization of illegal immigrants.
