That's the oldest ploy in the book. Americans cannot assimilate this flood of criminal aliens, financially, socially or culturally. It's not racism, even though many on this forum insist upon playing that card.

[RockinRight]

Just because a criminal is of a different race than you doesn't mean it's racist to point that out. Is it sexist for a woman to say that Michael Moore is a fata$$ liberal moron because he happens to be (reportedly) a male?? Or is it truth?

The problem in Caleefornya is not with illegal Austrian immigrants.

[xcamel]

Last I checked "latin" or "latino" was not a race ....

[TXBubba]

You would think the legal immigrants in the country wouldn't put up with this. It would only be racist if people were against immigrants because of their race. They are against ILLIGAL immigrants not legal ones.

[FloridaEagle]

The operative word in the article is "ILLEGAL". No one has any issues with the "LEGAL" Aliens. Most of us in this country (except "NATIVE" Americans) are "LEGAL" Aliens.

If it's racist to disparage a criminal body because most of those who belong to that criminal body are of a certain race, then I posit that it is racist to call these ads racist, because most of the Americans that really give a hoot are white. We need to stop sitting by and letting everyone be so racist against the white people...let's start by suing them for this bigotry.

[Paradox]

I am not sure where I saw this, but LEGAL AMERICANS of Latino Heritage are very much in favor of stricter immigration laws and enforcement...

[Old Professer]

Hispanics do not represent a special race; maybe we need a new term like culturalism or fedupism.

The GOP's response should ask the Latino Caucus to prove it's racist implication that all illegals are hispanic, or STHU.

Of course it is not racism. This country doesn't need more terrorists, drug dealiers, pedophiles, welfare cheats and other criminals. The Russian Mafia and the MS-13 nationwide gang network (started by Marxist El Salvedorians) are powerful enough to cause great damage to this country.

Latino Caucus Calls GOP Ads Racist

And the Caucasian Caucus responded how....?

Oh wait, that's right...there is a Black Caucus, an Asian-Pacific Islander Caucus, and a Latino Caucus.

But it's the white people who are the racists. Right. Got it.

Imagine what would be said if there was a "Caucasian Caucus". Now someone tell me why the same thing doesn't happen to these groups.

[taxed2death]

Latino Caucus = Racism in and of itself.

Cat calling the kettle black ping.

Charges like these are printed in the SacBee, but as far as I know they never covered this story:

"California legislators ask Mexican Senate to intervene [in driver's licenses for illegal aliens]"

Please send an email to ombud@sacbee.com asking why not.

Also, for future reference:

"Prop. 187 was heavily supported by Latinos, 52 percent to 42 percent two months before the vote. But 77 percent of Latinos voted against it."

This "race" caucus needs to be investigated for instigating racial hatred. Its time to play hardball with these haters.

Well said.

Accusing the Republican Party and business groups of stoking "anti-immigrant, anti-Latino" fervor, the Legislature's Democratic Latino Caucus on Tuesday urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to denounce "racist" GOP campaign ads mailed during recent Assembly races.

LOL, this is rich! Members of the Democratic Latino Caucus are crying racism. I wonder how many White, Black, or Asian legislators belong to the Democratic Latino Caucus? Oops, dumb question!

[mysto]

Accusing the Republican Party and business groups of stoking "anti-immigrant, anti-Latino" fervor...
Republicans are not anti-Latino or anti-immigration. Republicans are anti-ILLEGAL immigration. The Hispanic DemocRATS don't understand the difference, but most Americans do, and that's why liberal attacks like this always fail.
