Well said.
I think there are some people who lump all Hispanics into the illegal immigrant corner and everything is jaded by that view. I lived in L.A. for three years and saw the good and bad side of the immigrant issue. I understand the animosity because there are some -- especially liberal Democrats -- who want affirmative action for Hispanics, use anti-American or anti-Caucasian language to split us and them. At the same time, I'll say that driving around in the morning, you see a lot of Hispanics standing on street corners looking to make a few bucks as day laborers. You don't see whites, you don't see blacks, and there are blacks and whites who are out of work.
All I'm saying is that we need respect those who respect our values and issues. There are many Hispanics who will jump off the Democrat ship if Republicans -- like GWB -- continue to sell our principles and ideas to them -- without pandering, without selling out, and without giving in. And I welcome them.
Well, I guess that leaves GWB out doesn't it? Or is it "I have been locked in a closet for 2 years" your story?
