And since when does everything have to be in English and Spanish? This is really another case of fear being put in to many people's mind. SPANISH IS NOT TAKING OVER. I live in a city where it's 99% latino, and yet I don't even need to speak spanish to live in this city.

What city do you live in? You're a latino right? What's you're opinion on this article?
Interesting. I would of thought the vast majority of latinos would be heavly against this, I guess this is just an opposing view. But I'm still undecided on whether to support or be against this bill.

I live in South Gate and yeah I'm a latino. About the article, it's pretty obvioous that the people that have been living here for decades will have a different opinion on the immigration issue that someone who is a son of an illegal immigrant like me. This is just a complicated issue that won't simply be solved by a bill. Whatever bill that will be introduced and executed will have some doubters on both sides of the debate. For example, part of the new bill they have proposed is that they will allow illegal immigrants that have been here and working for more than 5 years a shot at Residency and later Citizenship. Sounds decent right? How about the possible fraud that people that have been under those 5 years will want to lie and say they have been here for more than 5 years? A whole different problem will come out of that part of the bill. It's just too tough of an issue to simply say this is the right way to go about it. And really what are the exact points of the debate? Am I for illegal immigration? Nope but I don't think it's humane to just to give the rights to cops to hunt down on people they think are illegal immigrants, I want to keep my civil liberties. Nobody that's protesting is saying "Hey let's open the borders so we all can come in!" That's simply not the case at all. Also, it's just impossible to kick everybody out and it's impossible to know the true effect of the illegal immigrant labor. Of course each state has different amount of illegal immigrants in that state, but what if it got to the point where the pros of illegal immigrant outweight the negatives? WHat if the negatives outweight the positives? I doubt anyone has the answer to this, it's all speculation.

Im latino too and a son an an immigrant and i live here in Whittier. EVerybody i know opposes it. You see all those kids that protested (Walkout), most of them arent immigrants but it shows you how many people will be affected.
What they should do to reform is make it faster to become a citizen and maybe depend it on how much you make. Cause some people in central america make like 2 dollars a day and those people are usually the ones you find dead trying to cross the border. There is like 200 deaths a year of people trying to cross the border.
It takes almost 10 years to become a citizen and some people dont have that kind of time. And if it wasnt for my parents crossing the border illegaly, i wouldnt be here talking in the computer. Id be dirt poor in El Salvador probably woking in fields. So im gratefull that they crossed.
Trauma-san:
Yeah, every 'legal' immigrant Latino I know opposes illegal immigration. They feel that it's a slap in the face to them, since they worked so hard to come here by the book, legally.
Ultimately, this is all a non-issue. 75% of americans support doing something about this problem in varying degrees, when it comes right down to it, illegal is illegal.

Get ready to see a lot of illegal immigrants turn Legal Residents. It's unavoidable now
