Do americans realize that pro illegal groups are overusing the imaginary term "latino"?

No I don't realize it. This was boring the first five times you posted it. And show some respect and capitalize Americans. You don't speak for me either.

Well......I find it rather hypocritical that they say they are pro-illegal.....but the speeches are done in Spanish.....they don't make an uproar or stand in defense of any other illegal group being deported...just the Mexicans. The signs are in Spanish....the chants are in Spanish......all I know is if I were illegal from another country I wouldn't think they were concerned about me at all.....because all they seem to care about is "latino" rights and making Spanish mandatory. That doesn't support "immigrants" or all "illegal immigrants".......just them. Vicente and the rest could care less about any other group.....as long as they get what they want.

I know many think it's cute to mouth off and say awful things in Spanish thinking they are superior and oh so cute.....but eventually they will be taken to task for what they are saying and they won't be able to hide behind their language as an excuse anymore. They had a caller call a radio show and tell a story. This factory was in an area where there were alot German and Polish people.....as well as Mexicans. The Germans and Polish learned English.....but naturally the Mexicans didn't or claimed they didn't. Anyway.....it makes for a stressful work situation when people can't talk to each other or causes definate seperation in the work force. Now the Mexicans thought it was fine that they couldn't understand them. Wasn't even an issue with English....because frankly...I think they know alot more than they pretend to......but when the others started talking in German and Polish.....they were LIVID.....even filed grievences because they couldn't understand what was being said. So much for the blessings of "bi-lingualism"..........funny they can't handle what they dish out.

This is a first for me to hear someone of cuban/puerto rican decent speak this way about mexicans......it gives me a whole new meaning to "Latinos"....but what about Hispanic??? Why do they (mexicans) call themselves that all the time?

Yes I see the overuse of the word latino. I also see that different spanish speaking groups do not like each other.

Blame the media. Most people form their opinions (right or wrong) from the powerful influence of the media in this country.

Good point! I assume you already know of www.dontspeakforme.org? A top-notch organization of freedom-loving American citizens who love their heritage but love the United States infinitely more.

Thanks for the question!

feel the same way. Americans are beginning to wake up

I agree, puerto rico is also having economic problems. You are alos right, PR are having an identity crises.

By the same token, it kicks me in the when Mexicans abuse the system, both ilegal & legal.....

Yes, I realize they are over using it, they are also over using the word racist. Pretty shameful if you ask me.

it sounds like u are being ridiculous and prejudiced towards Mexican people, I dont want you to be "culturally closer" to me, and its obvious from your rant that you are not. Stop stereotyping people.
