We are Debating in Spanish Now

[Made in the USA]

Hispanic CITIZENS should be against illegal immigration too! If you are against illegal immigration, it does not mean you are against Hispanics as a whole!!

Well being a Hispanic citizen, I am not against illegal immigration for one very simple reason. I am a product of illegal immigration. My Parents both immigrated illegally to the US. They had been here for a couple of years illegally before i was born in the great state of Kansas

That's just wrong! To support illegal activity, isn't that a crime in itself? I think it is called aiding and abetting.

And THAT is how the paradigm will shift! Agree or disagree - it is an honest heartfelt opinion. I personally disagree but realize there are many Americans that don't see like I do. Rock On Hugs and may the Lobbist with the most money win!! As usual................

Now replace "illegal immigrant" with Bank Robber, Meth Dealer, Petty Thug, Gang Banger. Go back and read it again and you can see how your line of thinking is way off.

replace it with those words and my opinion does change.

Well if that is what you want to call it...I respect your opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Thats what makes being an American and Kansan a great thing

This is where even I would support a Constitutional Amendment Making it necessary for at least one parent to be a citizen before any offspring are granted citizenship.

I agree, 100%.

Tancredo declined to join in.

I declined the invitation to participate in the Spanish-language Republican presidential debate on Sunday because I do not want to endorse the further Balkanization of American political life…

I do not believe it is proper to appeal to the ‘‘Hispanic vote” or the “Asian vote” or the “Black vote.” I believe we must appeal only for American votes.

Any political debate is aimed at citizens. It is about issues of concern to the entire community, not a segment of the community. It is vital that all political debates and discussions take place in the public square, not in separate enclaves. Our democracy does not need different messages broadcast to different audiences in different languages that are not heard or understood by other groups.

Maybe another reason to seriously consider Tancredo!
