Yes its true, hate crimes committed against immigrants....are increasing, are here..what do u think?

the immigration debates is now racialized, focusing on latinos, even though the majority of "illegal" immigrants that are non-hispanic coming over on over stayed visas. opinions? please academic responses...im doing research......

im just asking.....precieved "illegal" immigrants...they can be legal, a citizen or whatever, the fact is that people are being victimized over this, i want to know what you that about that.

Look, first you have to know the different between what is an immigrant and what is an illegal immigrant. Right after that, then we could discuss your question. I'm Hispanic/American and very much against illegal immigration, now do you think that I'm Racist, I don't think so, because I'm not. But illegal is illegal and I don't care if they are Hispanics or not or where they come from.

Yes it is

What about the ethnic cleansing that Latinos are doing to African-Americans?

I'd say it's karma.

while some extremists will undoubtedly be racist, the majority are not racist, we are against illegal aliens, period!

From personal experience...Latinos seem to piss people off more. While living in Florida, I lost two VERY good jobs because Latinas didn't get what they wanted...one wanted a job that wasn't open, I couldn't hire her because I didn't have an opening, so she claimed that I said things to her. The other...I was her supervisor, I told her to wake up (at work), so she accused me of abusing a patient. At other positions, I couldn't make Latina CNAs understand my directions ("Take vital signs on Mrs. X" or "Leave Mrs. Y in bed until I examine her").
I moved to Wisconsin and took a job as a nurse in a jail. Over half of the Hispanics in the jail were in for sex crimes; a lot of whites and blacks were in for drugs, thefts, and so on, and many Hispanics were in for drugs and violence...but most of the Hispanics were in for rapes, sexual battery, molestation, and so on. The rates were higher for illegal immigrants than for legal ones.
Hispanic immigrants want US schools to fly foreign flags over our own (a violation of our laws, incidentally). Some live here 20+ years without learning English. Many fail to learn local traffic laws...my mother was injured in an accident in Florida when an illegal immigrant, driving without a license, in an uninsured car with expired tags, made an illegal turn and totalled her brand new car.
Illegal immigrants have rallied to protest enforcement of US laws (the word in Hebrew is CHUTZPAH) and assaulted Americans gathered--with a permit--to exercise their Constitutional right PEACEABLY to assemble.

I don't think its racism. I think Americans are just tired of the behavior. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" has been replaced with, "Give me a break already".
Since the government has been largely ineffective at stemming the flow of illegal immigrants and their crime wave, some people are (admittedly unlawfully) taking matters into their own hands. Its an American tradition...you may be familiar with the events of 1775-1781 on the Atlantic Coast of North America?

If you want to do some research, do some research on the crimes committed by illegal aliens. Im sure its alot more than the crimes committed on illegal aliens. These illegals are responsible for MS-13, one of the biggest security threats to the U.S. Then do some research on the illegals that complain about immigration checking local jails to identify criminal illegal aliens.

I'm not trusting any website named Southern Poverty law Center, no offense but get a real unbiased website to convince people of this bull.

Who really gives a crap.

"Hispanic" includes French Polynesia since "French" is in the Latin-tribe of languages. As are Portuguese, Italian and Spanish. Also, Hispania has never included any region other than that in Europe. All the former colonies of France, Portugal, Spain and Italy are Hispanic yet your article focuses ONLY on those who speak Spanish. And calling a speech community a "race" is a silly and over-used attempt at sound-bite trickery. But then, what sort of honorable behavior could one expect from the "Southern Poverty Law Center".

Listing the acts of a handful of deranged teens, a neo-Nazi, a tiny group of 300 extremists (KKK) who in no way represent the rest of us and a perfectly and honorable effort on the part of Arpaio is all grossly out of context given the number of LEGAL immigrants (as opposed to ALIENS), LEGAL residents, citizens (including a renowned Hollywood movie director) who've been killed by ILLEGAL ALIENS.

And the march of 300 extremist klan-members is nothing in the face of a half-a-million marchers acting like this:

And if you really want to talk about openly destructive, how's this type of singer and those who murdered him and others?:
