In light of the GOP’s nasty attacks against Latino immigrants, how can any rational Latino vote Republican during the upcoming November 2nd elections? Worse yet, how can any Latino be a member of a political party whose national platform centers on blaming brown immigrants for most of the country’s social and economic ills?

Latino's can differentiate between legal immigrant and illegal border jumper. You'd be surprised at how many American Latino's do not hold to the idea of blanket amnesty for the illegals and believe everyone ought to go through the same [legal] process they did to enter the country.

30-06 is absolutely right. And, as a Republican, the idea that I am anti-immigrant is offensive. I'm absolutely pro-immigration. I just prefer that people go through the proper channels.There are good reasons to protect our borders--in fact, it's one of the most important functions of our government.

KKIP what a terrible, offensive, and overly biased article! Our border security is one of the single most important concerns we should have as a country - brown or black or white - ALL people here illegally, "ILLEGALLY" have NO RIGHT TO BE HERE! This is OUR country (latinos, whites, blacks) all of us Americans have a right to protect and care about our country!

And to clarify your confusion: An Immigrant is a person who comes to a country where they were not born in order to settle there - LEGALLY, ILLEGAL immigration is the movement of people across national borders in a way that VIOLATES the immigration LAWs of the destination country.
