[QUOTE="Mgarza_a, post: 2221319, member: 10976"] I do not find this to be true at all. I come from a deep Latino heritage as does my wife. My in-laws and my own grandparents immigrated from Mexico and gained naturalization legally. However, my wife and I lived in Edinburg TX for many years and you would be surprised how many support the GOP views. Latinos do not view the GOP as the "white" party. Most of the illegal immigrants I met while living in south Texas were actually trying to come into the US legally. These people were neither criminals nor did they desire a "free ride". They were simply desperate. I had the pleasure of working for a company that also had a branch in Reynosa. I spoke with everyone from Police officers to school teachers who made no more than $50 a week. I had many of conversations with these illegals who simply wanted to pull themselves from poverty. While I do not support illegal immigration, I believe the US could do a better job at streamlining the process of allowing legal naturalization. I do not believe that illegals always segregate themselves with the intentions of resisting assimilation. They do however have a strong sense of family and community. [/QUOTE]
