    I am all for a pleasant discussion and you seem to be quite levelheaded. I just hate how hard my family had to work to get by, and how easy latins have it today.

    The exact percentage I am unsure of; Black, Caucasian, and Cherokee Indian.

    *Disclaimer: This is not a shot at anyone. This is not an essay, so it may skip a bit. I may elaborate more later. These are my thoughts and opinions about this thread topic.*

    I mean, as I read this thread, I remember the racial threads about black people. Like Maniac said, there is an imaginary line that divides the "funny" jokes from the offensive ones. I am not of any hispanic descent so I cannot attest to the mentality/reasoning/feelings of the people in this thread who are of Hispanic descent. I feel as though entering this country illegally is not fair to the American citizens, nor the immigrants here legally obtaining citizenship. The arguement can be made that many of them do take the laborious work that many Americans choose not to do, or do the work for less pay, which in turn destroys the market as such. Then again, Americans have exploited Hispanics in regards to labor until government stepped in to regulate the "under the table" practices by big/small business. Explotation of a problem does nothing to solve it, yet it encourages it.

    In regards to the respect factor that Hispanics deserve, they are humans. I am not sure of anyones beliefs or religious followings (other than Maniac's crazy ass, lol), but they are just like us. To generalize and say that all Hispanics are all the derogatory names that were mentioned earlier in this thread is just not right. There are bad rotten ass apples in EVERY race. Find me a race that is 100% goody2shoe and I will......yeah . Threads like this is why I get so pissed in the threads against black people. If you were wronged by a person, don't blame the race. The whole race did not tell or influence Tyrone, Billy, Juan, George Bush, etc. to do the dumb/senseless shit that they do.

    As far as illegal anybody in America, it does screw up or economic system. Same goes for the people claiming welfare, because they chose to have children they could not afford, or made overall bad decisions. It frustrates me that many of the illegals do immediately join gangs. It is a fact, from the east to west coasts. It is a fact that many do commit crimes to make ends meet, especially since businesses can receive hefty fines for allowing them to work. I am not sure how the citizenship process works, but I wish that they would just do it the right way. If I pay taxes to live/work/play here, so should everyone else.

    Rules are rules, and if you are in the country illegally then you are a part of the problem. Whether you came here to save your family or not. I wish there was a way to help, but the government gets the last call. Purposely jumping a fence is bullshit. They know before hand that they are commiting a crime and be penalized for it. To get angry for breaking a law is stupid. That goes for people IN America as well. There is no excuse.

    Not sure if I made any sense, but its my rant
