The radicals on the Right, like Michelle Malkin (from where I came to your website), are out to sabotage a middle ground and compromise. It's a different struggle and story, and in many ways illegal immigrants' is a more difficult and sadder one. Legal immigrants shouldn't feel their struggle and story less valued because radicals on the right are out to malign illegal immigrants and stop legal immigration altogether.

I think we can both agree though that the immigration system needs major reform...how we do it isn't by catering to radicals but rather by seeking middle ground and compromise.

But it's a very small number, compared to the ones who came in illegally. More than 50% of all foreign-born Californians who are legal now started as illegal immigrants. Additionally, many who are American citizens have parents who are/were illegal immigrants. California is the eight biggest economy in the world. The illegal immigrant experience has not cheapened California, it has made helped it be the wonderful place it is to live. Laura,

A lot of Hispanics around me (again, Deeeeep South Texas) have seen their families LEGALLY immigrate to the United States and see that granting amnesty to those that illegally immigrate cheapens their families' struggle.

If Obama or McCain want Hispanic votes, they need to turn to organizations that have this as a primary concern. I guess that's the National Council of La Raza/"The Race".
