My uncle is Mexican. He immigrated here LEGALLY many years ago. It upsets him when he hears about illegal immigrants and how they were going to be given amnesty until that bill was defeated. He basically said, "When I came here, I did it legally. It took me many years to go through this process of becoming a US citizen...do it the legal way, or get out."

Apparently the domain is registered to someone in Canada.

But anyway, it looks like these guys might be behind the site: http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer So take it with a grain of salt.

Props to your uncle and those like him! My father served in the US Navy for 20 years before he became a naturalized citizen. My father was right there with uncle and his sentiments about illegals.

I work in the oilfield in Oklahoma and Texas. Most of the rig crews I see nowadays are mexican. When the illegals were going to strike, all my crews showed up for work. They are here legally and have no stomach for the "crybaby illegals".

Apparently the illegals did not get the memo...

While I know quite well that all Hispanics don't support mass illegal immigration from Latin America, I find quite a lot that do and I have found that most do from my own personal observations. It is the legal community that enables the illegals to thrive. The local state and city Hispanic politicians in Texas act as if the illegals are their constituents and do whatever they can to protect them from the law. Some are quite famous for it. To try to say this issue isn't divided along racial lines is absurd.

I absolutely agree with you PJ. On a different note in California. It was funny, years back in the election for governor, the current governor was impeached. The Lt. Governor, Cruz Bustamante believed he was going to easily take the governor's office by way of the Hispanic vote based on the population. He was catering to them and waving that flag pretty hard. But like Bush, the people he was schmoozing, were illegal and couldn't vote. Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger, won the governorship and got most of the Hispanic popular votes during that election. They didn't vote for Bustmante, even though, he was Hispanic like them. They didn't trust him on governoring California. It was a major slap in the face for him!

first i would like to commennd both VJ Troll & DAN, for posting the links they have. i know they are both in favor of immigration "reform". it just shows that they are open minded & hearing both sides of this issue.

also as much as i don't want to admit it. peejay is right also. there is a racial divide brewing on this issue.(IMO: mostly because its human nature to defend & help people that share our own ethnicity) and it is starting to cause racial tensions. we can not allow this to become a racial issue, it shouldn't be.

basically it is up to us to let our representatives know how we each personally feel. the link Dan posted has a search box to find your elected officals, complete w/ email & phone numbers. http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer i was very pleased to see all of the oklahoma officals are voting the way i would.

Just as long as OK is a "new destination" state. Once it becomes as "traditional" state, you won't be quite so pleased anymore.
