Mr. Hoyt is right you know, I expect the fear mongering and the appealing to the worst impulses people have from the republicans, but it is really discouraging the democrats have not made this issue one of the centerpieces of their campaigns.
The issue of immigration is a very polarizing issue, it's a dog issue to all gringo candidates because it is not percieved as worthy that is to say too many of the "wrong" people are concerned.For the most part Latinos are not the voting block the evangelicals are, they do not have that kind of political clout yet.
What dilutes our power is that too many of us identify with our oppressors, that is to some of us have joined the other side.
We lose ourselves and we lose our souls when we side with the enemy, look at Alberto Gonzales,where is he now?
If we as raza could unite (if only briefly) on the issue of immigration we could force the government to deal with the issue of immigration in a humane and common sense manner.
We have more power than we think we do and one of the things that always gets us is that we do not have the long view, we wish for immediate action, we must learn to focus on the big picture. Admittedly that is difficult when struggling in the present.

I am pro-immigration and anti-illegal immigration. There seems to be a very hard fact that everyone wants to ignore when it comes to immigration issues. That hard fact is federal immigration laws, which the border jumpers continue to ignore and our goverment officials ignoring enforcement of the laws. A person entering any country without proper documentation is commiting an act that is illegal and being from another country, other than the one he is entering, makes him an alien, hence, illegal alien. So, everyone who keeps saying that the system is broken, is correct. The simply way to correct the situation is to secure all borders, by whatever means necessary, and begin 100% enforcement of all existing immigration laws. Maintaining family unity is a priority, so the individual being deported will be allowed to take their family with them. If this process would be implimented for a period of one year, millions of illegal aliens would self-deport rather than being caught and put through the system.

What part of illegal alien do you folks fail to understand? The thousands of illegals and their supporters march through the streets demanding rights you do not have, demanding that the laws of the United States be changed to fit your needs, and as La Raza (extreme racist group) do not attempt to assimilate to American culture or language. All the immigration protests that I have witnessed appeared to be mob mentalities making demands for America to change to fit your culture, your language and anyone speaking against you, you consider racist. Your ideas of uniting together to make changes in the goverment is commendable, but it's the goverment of Mexico that you should be trying to change, not my goverment.

None of the open-borders advocates seem to realize that this nation is a nation of laws. Do we pick which laws to obey and which laws to ignore? If you noticed, the grassroots organizations of America are working hard to prevent any type of amnesty to people who have broken our immigration laws. So far, these organizations have been very successful at letting the goverment know that amnesty, in any shape or form will not be acceptable, and demanding that the borders be secured, all immigration laws enforced and that our federal representatives work for Americans, not illegal aliens, the goverment of Mexico or any radical organizations such as La Raza.

There is a right way to become a citizen of the greatest nation on earth, but some 30 million have chosen to go around the system and then demand special treatment after they have broken the law. Sounds pretty silly to me.

ps God Bless America and all patriots fighting to save her.

At least you can execute paragraph breaks. The arguments are still weak, based on faulty information, cluttered with unecessarily fluffed-up phrasing and emotional interpretation, but at least you've made it easy on our eyes.
