It appears that there is a Hispanic group that is against illegal immigration. How can this be? The main stream press keeps reporting that Hispanics in general support illegal immigration. Then comes along a Hispanic group called You Don't Speak For Me (YDSFM). This group does not support illegal immigration. Never heard of them? Neither did I until I read the World Net Daily.com article. I guess the drive-by-cloned media was more interested in reporting illegal immigrant protests than reporting about Hispanics against illegal immigration. What are this group's principles? They don't want amnesty. They want the borders secured. And they think immigrants should at the very least read and write English. All the above I agree with and probably so do most Americans.
This group contradicts a stereotype some people have about Hispanics and illegal immigrants. That is the general population of Hispanics support illegal immigration. Actually, assuming any naturalized Hispanic would automatically support illegal immigrants from Mexico is a kind of racism. You are basically saying all Hispanics are alike. There is fear in some politicians that if they state they are against illegal immigration that they will make most Hispanics mad and lose the general Hispanic vote. Also, there is a fear if they are against illegal immigration you are against immigration in general or at the very worst a racist. The first fear is not supported by facts and does not really make sense. If come to America legally and go through all the procedures to become naturalized I would think you would be ticked at the very least if some one else came here illegally and got a free pass. According to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) web site you have to pay $400 fee to be naturalized. This includes a fee to fill out an application and a fee for a biometric test. The average length of time to become naturalized is six to nine months. You have to bring alone eight different types of documentation to a Citizen Workshop. When you get interviewed the interviewee asks you questions about the United States history. The Chicago District uses 30 questions. Not too mention you have to speak pretty good English. Going through all that procedures and monetary expense, you really want to make it easy for an illegal to become a citizen? The second fear is understandable. Calling someone a racist or a nativist just because they don't like the current state of illegal immigration is just plain wrong. The Hispanic YDSFM does not support illegal immigration. Are they racists and/or nativists too? This is a law and order (and possible a national security) issue. Not an immigration issue.
