LEGAL immigrants of Hispanic/Latino heritage how do SOME of these questions and answers make you feel on here?

Question

The ones that lump all together legal and illegal. The ones that refer to tacos and breath. The ones who say 95% of prisoners are Hispanic. Do you ignore the insensitivity or does it upset you? I know it bothers me and I'm not Hispanic, married to one, living with one, or have any Hispanic family members. I find it a humilation to every good American in this country. What is your thoughts?

Answer 1

Your question is way off base.

Legal no problem!

Illegal big problem as it makes legal people look bad!

I have a legal Mexican Uncle, as people from Mexico are Mexican and not the so called Hispanic!

Answer 2

People could learn a lot on how to be racist from someone like you who seems to side with the most racist anti-white persons on all of yahoo.

My thoughts are basically hypocrisy and racism amongst the Hispanics has to stop

Answer 3

It makes me feel sick.

Answer 4

hey, it doesnt hurt me, because ive grown up and come to realize that its the simple truth and that its NOT about race! i am a very realistic person who would rather hear the truth than to sugar coat things. as its been clearly stated, its not about race, rather about actions that people take, and those actions can make everyone of a certain group look bad, which is such a shame and that is what has been happening!

Answer 5

Evil days - evil people in power now in the USA. Hopefully not for long. We are all Children Of God.

Answer 6

Not sure which other questions you've been reading, but the ones I've seen you on are for the majority making a definite distinction between legal and illegal.  Anyone with half a brain knows there are fools of all nationalities, those making comments about tacos, what not.  I lump them in with the people commenting about what happened in this country hundreds of years ago, as totally irrelevant.  You should be bothered by the fact that the jails are full of Hispanics, whether legal or illegal.  If you don't believe it, look it up for yourself.  There are 16 different Hispanic gangs in the city I live in.  Do you consider gangs just a social club?  Are you living somewhere devoid of these problems?  These gangs are a humilation to every good American.  People who drive without insurance or licenses are a humilation.  Driving through Los Angeles and basically all of Southern California and seeing graffiti on anything that doesn't move (and some things that do, buses, trains) is a humilation.  Watching the Hispanics in my local stores letting their children open candies, cookies, etc and eat them in the store and placing half empty boxes back on shelves is a humilation.

At least you got want you wanted with this question.

Answer 7

Let's make a run for the border.I got a hunger only tacos can stop!,,,I know exactly what I'll order,,,,three tacos,two tostadas and a soda pop!!!!!!

Answer 8

Well Marissa/DrIllegal/RealDeal (or whatever you want to be called this week) the new group You Don't Speak for Me! formed when Col. Al Rodriguez became fed up watching media coverage of the mass protests of April. "Their leaders were saying it was a march for immigrant rights and a Latino/Hispanic movement," says Rodriguez. "I thought to myself, 'Hey, those are illegal aliens, not immigrants!'" Col. Rodriguez began speaking out to others saying, "I'm of Hispanic ancestry and those people are acting like they speak for me. Well, you don't speak for me!"

Col. Rodriguez began asking others to help him reach more people who felt the same way and You Don't Speak for Me! formed from this loose coalition of individuals. It is a group of concerned Americans of Hispanic/Latino heritage, some first or second generation, others recent legal immigrants, who believe illegal immigration harms America and a guest worker amnesty will do the same.

Answer 9

Self-loathing people are a joy to behold. You can always move to mexico. Gozar.

Answer 10

Well it doesn't offend me. I accept the fact that unfortunately many people in America are ignorant and uneducated. It makes no difference whether they put legal and illegal together or whether they still think Hitler is alive, or if they think Denmark is part of Germany, etc. They don't really know what they're talking about and know very little about anything in the world.

Although it might bother me, it definitely doesn't offend me.

Answer 11

No one has ever on here said that we have a problem with legal immigrants, no what is a humiliation to every Good American is that it takes so much for the legal ones to go thru the system but illegals think it should just be granted to them!!!!

Answer 12

People who keep saying this "Illegal big problem as it makes legal people look bad" are the same as the WS from both sides of the border.

Answer 13

The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time nationally in 2003. Of those, 108,000 were in California. Some estimates show illegals now make up half of California's prison population, creating a massive criminal subculture that strains state budgets and creates a nightmare for local police forces."

Answer 14

it is horrible

Answer 15

i do get offended and let that person saying it know whats up because if you let them do it once then they think its funny and do it all the time

i dont like violence but in some cases yes i have got into fist fights over it and lets say just dont put up with nonsence

Answer 16

Yes i know what your talking about. i myself am half mexican and i respect anyone with a legit, respectful opinion. but its when people start bashing the mexican culture as a whole that they lose my respect.
