Willow, thought your story (#41) did a nice job of stating the opinions of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have followed all the parameters to become citizens. Again I say, it's the legal immigrants that hate what the illegals are doing most of all. Unfortunately, they are all put in the same barrel and face discrimination because "they're one of those hispanics!"

It's very sad because the majority of recently legalized immigrants tend to be very hard workers, are adapting to their new nation's culture, they are learning the language, and are proud to be americans.

Another fact as I understand it, most of the immigrants either legal or illegal prefer to be called by their nation of ancestry i.e. columbians, salvadorans, cubans, puerto ricans, mexicans, etc. Many refer to all of them as mexicans which has almost become like a dirty word.
