They have stolen jobs that Americans used to do for fair wages and decent benefits.

I really don't care who you are regrading in Nationality/Color. If you came in illegally you should be deported. It's time that the American(s) level the playing field. Im tired of seeing big business trying to incoroporate dissolution of the borders on the North American continent. Seems like everything is based on "greed and wealth," no matter what the agenda may be.

My opinion here is biased. I hate seeing illegal immigrants crossing the boarders and using our system to gain access to free health care and social services when our very own homeless and impoverished citizens are denied help and struggling. I've met women who deliberately cross the borders to have thier children here in the U.S. so that thier kids are born citizens and have access to free/cheap health care courtesy of the American dime.


This is a little off topic, but why is'nt there much being done on penalizing American corporations who outsource high paying jobs for cheaper labor? I think if there is a raping of our American economy are these big corporations who pay for cheap labor over-seas or just across the boarder and price gouge hard working American citizens for whatever service product they supply. We get screwed coming and going! Just my opinion... even if it does'nt make sense.

Hispanics and, among Hispanics, Mexicans form a fast growing part of the U.S. population. By the year 2010, the US Census Bureau projects that Hispanics, as one group, will become the largest population minority in the US due largely to higher fertility than the non-Hispanic US population and secondly to net-immigration (US Bureau of the Census, 1996). http://www.indiana.edu/~pirt/PIRT_WP/wp98-8.html

Texas Town Adopts Spanish As Official Language
EL CENIZO, Texas (Reuters) - The border town of El Cenizo, whose population is heavily Hispanic, has adopted Spanish as its official language and declared the community a safe haven for illegal immigrants, officials said Friday.

The ramshackle town of 7,800 people is located just south of Laredo, Texas, across the Rio Grande River from Mexico.

Mayor Rafael Rodriguez told Reuters that he and most of the town's residents speak only Spanish. Many are first-generation immigrants, both legal and illegal. Rodriguez himself crossed into the United States illegally from Mexico but became a U.S. citizen in 1995.

``In past administrations, the meetings were done in English and they did not explain anything,'' Rodriguez said.

The result, he said, was widespread apathy.

The City Council voted last week to make Spanish, not English, the town's official language. That means that town business will be conducted in Spanish, which then will be translated into English for official documents to meet the requirements of Texas law.

Rodriguez says the City Council's intent was not to usurp English or create divisions, but to make local government more accessible to the town's residents.

``What we are looking for is that the people of the community who attend the meetings and who only speak Spanish be able to voice their opinions,'' Rodriguez said.

The ``safe haven'' ordinance forbids city staff, which consists of one employee and two volunteers, from helping the U.S. Border Patrol find illegal immigrants or inquiring about any person's immigration status.

The intent was to avoid meddling in peoples' lives, Rodriguez said.

``We are not protecting them and neither are we turning them in,'' he said.

City Secretary Elsa Degollado estimated that the town's population currently includes 1,000 illegal immigrants.

Rodriguez said he did not expect any reprisals triggered by the new ordinances.

But Linda Evans, a spokeswoman for Texas Gov. George W. Bush, said his office has contacted ``relevant state and federal authorities to ensure that the laws, including illegal immigration laws, are being enforced.''

``As a general rule, Governor Bush believes that government business in America should be conducted in English,'' Evans said.

The measure drew a sharp response from English First, a group based in Springfield, Virginia that advocates making English America's official language.

The group's executive director, Jim Boulet, said El Cenizo may be the first U.S. town to have adopted Spanish as its official language -- a step that policy makers should take as a ''warning sign'' of things to come.

``Will we call this town 'America's first Quebec?''' asked Boulet, referring to the French-speaking Canadian province. ''Language divisions rather quickly lead to other divisions.''

``It proves we really need a national language policy sooner rather than later,'' he said.
