The thing that gets me is is it appears most latinos ( if you are latino feel free to chime in) seem to think if you support the rule of law and think someone should not be able to break into the country and stay just because they "want a better life" that you are anti-latino.
Legal immigrants should be the ones complaining the most as they did it the right way.
While I understand the point you're trying to make here, I believe these are separate issues. First all naturalized immigrants I know believe in the institutions of law and respect them. It's not that they agree with illegal immigration, but rather understand the desire to come to the US and we feel great compassion for the situations they are trying to escape. Remember in my post above, I stated we have a strong sense of family and community.
While television and magazines show the better parts of Mexico, they often fail to portray these are either tourist areas or locations which have US companies supporting the surrounding communities. I personally have family members who come from dirt floor homes, and have a college education. So while we do not support illegal immigration we do have compassion and a level of understanding that may not be understood looking from the outside.
