But I thought this wasn't about "hispanics", only about "illegals".

Massive street marches to protest a proposed crackdown on illegal immigration have energized U.S. Hispanics and may signal a new day of Hispanic political involvement. The demonstrations, which attracted both legal and illegal residents across the country, mean politicians may face an angry Hispanic electorate in which Republicans would be the biggest losers, activists said on Monday. Funny, but I'm reading a lot of commentators who think the pro-illegal crowd is shooting itself in the foot with these rallies.

Massive street marches to protest a proposed crackdown on illegal immigration have energized U.S. Hispanics and may signal a new day of Hispanic political involvement. That is what they said in 1986.
I wonder how many Americans (Hispanic and otherwise) sat at home and sadly shook their heads at the antics and hoped that the wall would be a high one.

the Mexican constitution does not allow foreigners to participate in the political affairs of the country.
That ban applies to participation in demonstrations.

Democrats stand to gain most from new Hispanic involvement
Democrats stand to lose most from new illegal alien involvement. As
Democratic Socialists move on to tout a progressive
illegal alien civil rights movement they increasingly alienate their traditional black and union worker constituencies.

This immigrant competition has hit black Americans especially hard. A recent New York Times report pointed out, "In 2000, 65 percent of black male high school dropouts in their 20s were jobless that is, unable to find work, not seeking it or incarcerated. By 2004, the share had grown to 72 percent, compared with 34 percent of white and 19 percent of Hispanic dropouts."
Old civil-rights groups avoid debate on immigration
...
Yet, many blacks soft-target illegal immigrants for the crisis and loudly claim that they take jobs from unskilled and marginally skilled blacks. Black fury over immigration has cemented an odd alliance between black anti-immigrant activists and GOP conservatives, fringe anti-illegal immigration groups and racially tinged America-first groups.

All we have to do is adopt Mexican immigration laws.
The Mexicans can't argue with it - it's their law! The socialists can't argue with it, because it equalizes the nations. Even the UN couldn't argue with it. We're giving them their own laws, so who can complain?
BTW, the Mexican immigration laws practically outlaw any immigration what so ever, and if you do immigrate, you're a second class citizen for life. We should follow their lead , join hands, and sing Kumbia.
Be pro-Mexican immigration. Support the Mexican immigration law.

Someone here on FR asked a question: Who is funding and organizing these marches? The people are carrying mass produced signs.
Soros comes to my mind, but the MSM are not touching the organization and funding issues in the least.

Republican political consultant Bill Miller in Austin agreed the party is in a difficult position. This guy deserves the No S*** Sherlock award.

What concession have Vince offered Jorge and The United States for taking these refuges from the corrupt and impoverished Mexico?
To: Crackingham
Maybe its because I dont know any Mexican-americans, but NONE of the hispanics I know are sympathetic to these mexicans. In fact, those that might have some inclination towards sympathy (moderate democrats) have been turned off by the massive demonstrations.
I am not adamant either way in this issue, as a son of legally immigrated hispanic parents, but these demonstrations have definately hardened me against these folks (ILLEGAL immigrants).

"Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine half a million people marching in a city that has 1.2 million people," said Lydia Gonzalez Welch, a board member with the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, which promoted the so-called Mega March.Neither did the billions of American citizens who witnessed, right before their eyes, a foreign invasion of our great nation.
To: Crackingham
I hate to say it, but mass demonstrations work. Just look at what happened in France, and our politicians are every bit as spineless as theirs I fear. Oh sure, some Republicans still may be talking tough, but the demonstrations will wear them down. They will say "just give them what they want so they stop carrying signs calling us racists."

Massive street marches to protest a proposed crackdown on illegal immigration have energized U.S. Hispanics...and further divided US citizens and legal immigrants who actually thought the law meant something.
Scrap any new legislation and enforce the laws we already have! Prosecute and/or deport lawbreakers.

Oh woop dee doo - so conservatives won't carry LA, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC - we don't carry those places anyway!
Interesting that our officials should worry about the 12 million illegals (who aren't supposed to vote anyway) and not worry about the OUTRAGED 250 million who are pissed off about illegal immigration...

" mean politicians may face an angry Hispanic electorate in which Republicans would be the biggest losers, activists said on Monday. So now they are threatening.
Hopefully our elected officials will not cave in to their demands and than who will be the biggest losers Bye bye illegals.
