Besides, how is this thread about illegal immigration? However many illegal immigrants there are in this country, they are still a minority of Hispanics, and as such can't be equated.

Illegals frequently also pay taxes, but receive fewer benefits.
They also frequently work for below minimum wage, which makes the stuff we buy cheaper.
For all you know, they provide a net positive to our economy and tax situation.

I answer the question that you seemed to want to hound me over...ignoring ALL else I said. Then berate me for having my opinion.... if you can't debate me and show me respect then don't be surprised if I don't answer your questions. I would tell you what I really wanted to say but.... welll better judgment got control of my emotions.

Thus, I'm not getting into a pissing contest. I have my beliefs and until I see something I BELIEVE to tell me differently... it'll take more than your links or future degradation over my beliefs to change my mind. In fact if anything degradation just solidifies my opinion (rightfully or wrongfully even more).
YOU ARE NOT FUCKING SUPERIOR TO ME YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT THAT MUCH MORE EDUCATED OR BETTER VERSED THAN ME.... WE JUST SEE THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND BELIEVE DIFFERENT SOURCES THAT TEAR DOWN THE OTHERS ARGUMENTS. TREATING ANYONE AS LESS THAN YOU DOES NOTHING BUT PISS THEM OFF.
AND YES I LOCKED MY CAPS BECAUSE I AM PISSED. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO POST "GEE I LOVE RANDOM CAPS" AND PLAY THEY ARE SUPERIOR BECAUSE THEY"HAVE MORE WHAT THE FUCK EVER THAN I DO" ... TO YOU I SAY I VALUE YOU OPINION AS MUCH AS I VALUE THE CHARMIN I USE TO WIPE MY ASS.
