I am from puerto rico so none of this trash refers to me.Yes a tax paying hispanic for those that are bashing hispanics like they are all the same and are all bums and are ruining this country.I work 60 hours a week pay all my taxes have my own home and as far as i'm concerned the word hispanic should be changed to illegals as that is what this forum is about.I love how all hispanics are generalized as one group that come here to live for free and destroy this country.My whole family works hard respect the laws of this country and live productive lives but when i see hispanics being mentioned as part of the ones that come here for the wrong reasons that is simply not right.

If I were Puerto Rican or any other American of hispanic descent I would start a letter writing campaign to LaRaza, Lulac and all the other tax dollar usurping racist pimps. Let them know how you feel and what their false misrepresentation and blurring of the racial lines in order to pad their numbers has done to those of you who have no dog in the illegal alien fight.

Every time the MSM trots out Jesse the Pimp or Al the beauty shop patron as my "representative" I raise holy hell via fax, email or any way that I can to let them know the don't speak for me.

It’s a pivotal juncture for Legal ‘Hispanics’ in this country. They must take a stand NOW, to hopefully avert widespread violence. I don’t think it can be overemphasized. Before the pro-illegal brigade launches their attack, I am NOT advocating violence. However, I can see the proverbial “handwriting on the wall.”

The funny thing is that the one time I did speak out against LaRaza publicly I was labeled a "racist" against Latinos, to which I replied that there is no "Latino" race and that I am "Latino," albeit of full Caucasian (white) background. I was told that I wasn't part of "la raza cósmica" (the cosmic race - which refers to mixed white/Amerindian people, and more specifically to the Mexican people of that racial admixture) and that they didn't care if I didn't support their group because I wasn't part of that "race." Granted, this wasn't an official spokesperson that told me this; but rather, a group of Mexican-Americans who claimed to be part of LaRaza. That group certainly does NOT represent Hispanics in this country LET ALONE Hispanics from Latin America.

Which LA Raza are you talking about? Is it the one in the link below?

National Council of La Raza

They cited a quote: "por la raza todo, fuera de la raza nada" - Is that a phrase that the National Council of La Raza uses? This was at an immigration demonstration and the people who got into an argument with me claimed to be part of "La Raza" (the Latino rights group, I assume).

Will you consider the NAACP as part of the tax dollar usurping racist pimp groups too?

I apologize if I did this, but the fact is there are millions of ' legal ' hispanics who are leading this gang mentaliy to take over our nation . This is not damn aztlan ! We are a english speaking nation, that use to have some beautiful tropical paradises that have been turned into latino controlled ghettos where they either swim across or walk, makes no difference they are rude pushy and demanding when they get here .

There are some like you who are not like this , but the majority of spanish are . It wasn't always this way, they came assimilated and were good citizens like you say you are .

There are a couple of La razas. There is a radical group out there with that name, but the National Council of La Raza is far from a racist or radical group as some posters on here would like to portray. John McCain and Barack Obama even spoke before them to try to garner their support a few weeks ago.
