The biggest problem I see is an increasing amount of ignorance and intolerance towards people who are here LEGALLY and are Hispanic. Sometimes when I read comment on news stories where a suspect or what ever has a traditional Hispanic last name, must of the ignorant folks automatically assume ILLEGAL and spout off some of the most ignorant, hateful crap I have ever seen.
Totally agree with you 100%!!!.I've been in so many e-fights over this,it's ridiculous!!!.The people in the pictures ARE ignorant and have no idea what the hell they are protesting or promoting.There IS ignorance on both ends though.
One thing that bothers me, other than the scope of S. 1348, is the supporters of the bill, both Democrats and Republicans, who paint the all opponents of the bill as racist.
I have just started reading the House version of immigration reform, H.R. 1645, and I like some of it better than the Senate version. Both go too far, I would rather see one bill for securing our borders and identifying all who are here illegally, whether it’s due to visa infractions or crossing our borders without regard for our laws. Once (if?) that has been achieved, and only then, a second bill to deal with deporting those (600,000 cases) already under deportation orders, future status of those here, a fool proof (we are talking about the Feds here!) identification system, employment verification, fines, etc.
I’m trying to figure out where these 12-20 MILLION illegal entrants came from…I mean the last time there was amnesty given (1986), lawmakers guaranteed that would solve the problem.
