Hispanic vote strength growing
Story on CNN today shows that Hispanic vote is fastest growing ethnic minority in the country. Wonder how the Republicans can keep attracting their vote while also supporting crackdowns that are hitting immigrant communities? Something's going to have to give. They can't campaign for the Hispanic vote (which helped propel George W into office) AND be anti-immigrant at the same time. Hopefully we'll see start to see more sense being spoken on immigration.

Only against "illegal immigration" is it?...
..." They say “We’re not against immigration, we’re against illegal immigration.” OK, so the problem with immigrants is that they broke some laws. But are they good laws? If yes, they’re for laws designed to keep immigrants out, so they are against immigration. If no, then they should be for changing the laws. But they say changing the laws is either unacceptable “amnesty” for illegals that are already here and/or it would encourage more immigration. But the immigration that would happen then would be legal, so if they’re only against illegal immigration, they should have no problem.
So, I think I think that they are less than sincere when they say they are only against illegal immigration. Perhaps the right thing to say is that they only support the amount of immigration currently allowed by law. Which is pretty much being against immigration for the most part. But I suspect it’s really just lip service so they don’t seem so much like xenophobic racists. Of course, they want to protect American jobs, but preferring that companies pay higher wages to Americans rather than lower wages to needy non-Americans has no moral justification that I can see, and is probably based on racism as well."...
