Curtail Immigration: Americans Want It (Including Hispanic Americans)
USAToday reports: “More than 40% [46% to be exact] of Mexican adults say they would move to the USA if they could, and one in five say they would do so illegally if necessary, according to surveys released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center.”
As Jay Leno joked, “only 40%, that’s because the other 60% are already here.” Heh.
Furthermore, “the survey shows a difference between the attitudes of Hispanics born here and those of Latino immigrants. For example, 60% of U.S.-born Hispanics support laws that require people to show proof of citizenship or legal residency before they can get driver’s licenses. Only 29% of foreign-born Latinos feel that way.”
What a coincidence? U.S.-born Hispanics don’t have the same agenda as foreign-born Latinos: More immigration.
So, what’s the problem?
“Millions of people are going to keep coming every decade unless we restrict it,” says Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington group that favors strict enforcement of immigration laws. “That’s the bottom line.”
Reading the Pew report by Roberto Suro, we learn:
“Although an overwhelming majority of Hispanics expresses positive attitudes toward immigrants, relatively few Hispanics favor increasing the flow of legal immigration from Latin America and a significant minority, concentrated among native-born Latinos, is concerned that unauthorized migrants are hurting the economy.”
Hopefully Seniore Bush will study this report closely. (PDF here)

[...] The MAJORITY of Americans have been calling for immigration reform for decades. “Few want to see immigration levels increased, and most vehemently oppose making it easier for the undocumented to gain citizenship.” [Source: About.com] And even many hispanics have realized the growing burden resulting from the ongoing tide of ILLEGAL aliens storming across our borders. The high costs to our state and local economies (social services), overwhelming our infrastructures (schools), and lowering the standards of opportunity (cheap labor). [...]
