and there you have the meat of the problem...Almost any bill or ruling which doesn't give Hispanics what they seek will be labeled racist, and will lose votes among Hispanics who are already citizens.

I have no problem with the IDEA of creating a legal "path to citizenship" for those who genuinely qualify, but everyone wants the criteria to apply to THEM, no matter what. You want to be the one who tells those just below the cutoff point..."go home"?

You durn betcha enforcement will be a problem...as it already is.

but...hmmm..." every group of immigrants has enriched the US--" "enriched"??? really? ALL of them? That sort of statement is often thrown out as almost a mantra of generalization. We can easily agree on the virtues of 'diversity', but diversity must always be looked at carefully, as it also has its built in dangers.

I have been active in civil rights and followed the racial tensions scene off & on since 1962, and I have seen and read some things about humans that worry me. You can't just have 'diversity' and expect harmony...in fact, it is more often than not the opposite case.
