I've lived amongst Hispanics/Latins in Mexico, the US and Canada for the better part of the last quarter century. I am married to one. That said, the average Hispanic/Latin heard what Trump said, and whatever he meant does not translate well in Hispanic/Latin cultures. The average Mexican heard that **** and saw it as an attack on Mexican culture and values. Whether they're here legally or illegally is pretty much irrelevant. They saw it as an attack on them. That's not something they're going to let go of that easily. The best the GOP can do at this point is distance themselves from it all. Otherwise, 2016 will mean another Democrat in the WH.
Legal immigrants from Latin America, you mean?
Positively.
I'm the child of immigrants, myself, so it's only natural.
However, I can't stand people that conflate legal and illegal immigrants as the same, it's insulting.
Illegal immigrants? Negatively, doesn't matter where they come from. So, yea, very negatively in the case of illegal immigrants.
No, just immigrants in general. That is the thread and that is how it shall remain.

Pretty much.
Well, I broke it up into two parts since you can't just describe legal and illegal immigrants as one group like that.

Im also the son of an immigrant.
Hard working. Proud. Strong family ties.
Uneducated. Entitled. Tolerant of govt corruption.
Ive spent the last 15 years providing medical care to this demo.
Meh, you don't get it.Yes I can. I use the generic term "immigrant".
immigrant = "A person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country." (oxford dictionaries)
The average Mexican thinks the south west US belongs to mexico. Im less concerned with what they think or teach in their schools.
The left likes to pretend theres no difference.
My dad waited years, had to go to college to even be eligible to come here.
Why should illegals get to cut in front of everyone else?
Meh, you don't get it.
That's the case with some, not all.The left likes to pretend theres no difference.

You wanted to play semantics roulette and you lost the draw. Bye now.
the government takes nearly 32% of his paycheck every week, he's paying for his own care, and until he gets hurt, paying for the welfare of many natural born American citizens.
Nationalist narratives on history are entirely irrelevant to this issue. So what you think about it is of no concern to anyone. Besides, since when has historical revisionism been a problem for you? :lol:
I dont know if he is or not, didn't watch the video. Even if thats true, he's still more likely to receive govt benefits, and if he's not-he's not the "average" immigrant from latin America.
If illegals played by the retarded rules we've set up, then they'd have to wait X^2 (X being how long your dad waited).
It's not even a minute long. Oh well, getting into things without fully digesting the OP, typical you.
Yeah, movement of people from one nation to another-where those people already believe this land belongs to them is entirely irrelevant.
And the ad hom doesn't really help you make your case.
It is. People tend to believe land was stolen from them when their side loses a war. That won't change by not letting them into the country. It also ignores the fact that even if they wanted to, they simply couldn't retake it in any meaningful way without facing the modern US military. So it's entirely irrelevant. :shrug:
There is no ad hominem. You've been caught trying to revise history a few times yourself. I merely pointed some of the similarities between you and 'the average Mexican'. :shrug:
