I know many MANY Hispanic Americans who are opposed to illegal immigration....some of them mildly so, others quite upset and outspoken. Because these folks share some sort of 'ethnic ties' with many of today's illegals, does NOT in any way mean they approve of what's going on...In fact, I just HEARD one such remark, from one such person, about 15 minutes ago....and it was 'unsolicited'.
How many of the people I know belong to any 'group', I couldn't say....but I hear MANY negative comments about illegals quite often....the majority of them coming from Hispanics....(I've even heard anti-illegal comments from a few of those who were once THEMSELVES illegal (!) The thinking seems to be that the 'former' illegals lived quietly and had 'sense', while the NEW illegals have 'ruined it for everyone'...)
Because Hispanic-Americans object to racism, and bristle at racist remarks, does NOT mean they're neccessarily in favor of illegal immigration....despite what anyone says.
