With all the debate raging regarding Illegal immigration, which I am steadfastly against, I think it is important that we not paint everyone with a "broad brush"

What does people entering our country illegal by the millions have to do with our armed forces?

My question exactly. Are you implying that all hispanics/latinos in America came here illegally? If so that's not true. Many hispanics lived in the southwest long before it was part of U.S. Many others have followed our immigration laws and come here legally.

Or, are you implying that many of those against illegal immigration are closet racists? If so, I would remind you that polls show a large majority of American born and legal immigrant hispanics also support strong enforcement of our laws against illegal immigration.

Illegal immigration is not limited to those from points south of the US. It gets the most coverage because the vast majority come from points south, and are the ones currently demanding we open our borders for their citizens.

It doesn't. But you do see many New Mexican people and other Americans with Spanish heritage join the armed forces. It's very rare for an illegal over age 18 to register for the draft even though they are supposed to follow that law also, but that's another law they don't believe they need to follow. An American with some Spanish ancestry obvious has nothing to do with foreigners from other countries breaking our laws.
