One Major point to add.?? Hispanic is NOT a RACE!?? Hispanic is an 
Ethnicity.?? A combination of different races.?? Caucasion, Native, and 
Negro, in different concentrations, depending on particulars, generally 
location.

In a similar fashion, Obama is NOT black.?He's no more black than white.?In 
fact,?one definition I've heard says?that he's half white, 6 1/2 % black, and 
93 1/2% arabic.?I don't buy that one either, since arab is also an ethnicity.

I detest the entire ethno-racial issue, altogether.?We are one species... 
Homo sapiens.?That is, and should be, all that matters.

That does bring up an amusing anecdote, however.?On employment applications, 
I always mark the "other" box when it asks about ethnic background, and fill 
in "Homo sapiens".?I was at a job interview in Noxon, MT, years ago, and 
during the interview, the principal was looking over the application, and 
said to me, "Uuh, we don't really need your preference listed on the 
application."
I simply got up and said, "Thank you for your time.?This is obviously not 
going to be a good fit."
I am not going to work for an administrator that does not know the difference 
between Homo sapiens, and homo-sexual.

Have a good day.

I continually shake my head over the whole Hispanic issue.  I lived in Baja 
and loved it.  The "regular" folks were amazing.  The folks in the city were 
the scum of the earth!

However, I don't see "the" Hispanic as being any different than any other 
race.  yes, you see *some* hardworking folks.  But you see that in any race. 
I do, however, see far more with a weird attitude about this country.

But then, I'm in California and we've had "the problem" for a lot longer 
than other folks have.  Or maybe we just get more of the dredges?  Maybe the 
good folks are inclined to move further away from the borders?

I do know that I have absolutely no use whatsoever for La Raza and their 
insane Azatlan!  It's a load of crap!

You know, I agree with you...I really like the Hispanics as a
minority..I like folks that have a good work ethic and are honorable.  I
have never met anyone from Central America who was lazy. I realize there
are Hispanic gangs and such like other ethnicities, but I don't see that
here.
At least 1/3 of the workforce from my former employer was Hispanic.
They were, for the most part, upwardly mobile. One guy owned several
houses and rented them out.  Perhaps your guys are moving up in the
world and not renting those old homes?  Here, Hispanics are buying
houses with land, so they can have chickens and goats and such.
Do you think it is possible that they have just moved on, and not moved
back?  Also, here, the cops harass them a lot-roadblocks and such, so
they don't go out much after dark or on weekends.
My best Mexican friend is actually back in Mexico as we speak.  He got
married here last year and has a baby who was born here last March.
Ramon was illegal, but has gone back to try to enter legally.  He's been
gone almost two months now, and although his wife has come back, he
still has to stay there for the time being.  I do hope he gets
permission to immigrate.  America needs people like Ramon.
I don't see what you see though, James.
