Legal hispanic here, as far as I am concerned the most pressing issue right now is our loss of immigration control, I strongly support fining all businessed that hire illegal aliens and militarizing our borders if need be.

its a hard issue to read. myself, being in NY, most of my latino neighbors and co-workers are from cuba, puerto rico, dominican republic, etc. and they agree with your sentiment. but not being in the southwest where there is more of a mexican/central american demographic, is the opinion different in that block?

What you're saying is what our local legal Hispanics are saying. We need to hear more from the legal Hispanic immigrant community, those who played by the rules and who should not have their wages driven down by illegals who won't follow the rules.

What's sad is to read so many stories of how poorly immigrants of all races are treated when they do obey all the laws. Then Bush and the Senate want to reward people who have broken every rule. It is grossly unfair to the legal immigrants we have. And these illegals should not be granted amnesty when we have tens of thousands of legal immigrants or American citizens who have not been able to bring their own families here, sometimes after years of waiting. In some cases, after decades. It's terrible to do that to people who do play by the rules.

As Mark Levin says, we need immigrants. Legal immigrants who want to be Americans, just like all the immigrants who came here before. Crossing a border illegally doesn't make a person American. At least, it shouldn't. And we should do more to treat all our legal immigrants more fairly as well.
