How many of you have heard this story?
This young man gave his life for his Country, and that is the thanks he got from white Texas. The Longoria case "was a shining moment of unity against prejudice that gave hispanic's facts in the battle for civil rights"
Answer:
That is why I keep saying the hate was already in place before the illegal issue came up.Illegal is just another excuse for the racist haters.
You don't mention if Mr. Longoria was in the US legally.But you are talking about the past.How many of you have read this story?

We have a Texan running this country into the ground and wonder why?Texas is hypocritical state. They now have a large number of Mexicans to contend with and are still doing a pretty cra--y job.
Thanks for sharing! Reminds me of the Japanese interment camps. Young Japanese American men were off earning honors fighting for our country in WWII while our government was imprisoning their family members.
No one that I know of is upset about legal immigration. Legal immigration is fine as long as the legal resident doesn't commit crimes and pays taxes. Is that too much to ask? The illegal immigration is bad for the immigrant and it drives wages down. These illegal immigrants get treated like animals. A lot of them get ripped off by people take full advantage of them. These same people that are being taken advantage of and are clear victims are also victimizing the citizen and legal permanent resident. They are willing to work for less money and are willing to work way more hours. I don't think that the argument, they will do jobs that Americans won't, is invalid. People will do any job as long as they are treated with respect, reasonably paid and with benefits. That is my immigration argument for the day.
WELCOME TO 2007 !! Felix Longoria and his family may have been treated very poorly but that was 60 years ago. GET A LIFE!! If your trying to combine the issues of present-day illegal immigration and racism of 60 years ago then that is pathetic !!
I haven't and it's sad. Thats why we had a civil rights movement. My Grandfather served in WW2 as well, and when he returned he was treated like garbage. He never complained. All he did was start a write in campaign to ask to be treated Human. I'm not sure what this has to do with immigration uless its a veiled attempt to attack our position in immigration, but we have improved some, and we need to improve more, but illegal immigration is a separate matter compared to racism you describe. I actuall do not like illegal immigration because it aids the racist. The racist are the ones who hire and abuse the illegal immigrants. The racist like them, because they can feel superior by abusing them and they know the illegal immigrants can't go to the police. I see illegal immigrants used as leverage to mantain a racist society against those who are legally here. It's one of the reason why I want to stop illegal immigrants. It's a mean to protect them from racist as well as to protect our legal residents and citizens from them as well.
If that is true then it is sad. The same thing happened to many black soldiers who made a real difference over in Europe and were eventually respected for their role in the Allied invasion of Europe. When they returned to America they found nothing had changed. Here in Canada we are having trouble with native land claims. One of the more heated battles is in a town called Caladonia, on the Grand River near Hamilton in southern Ontario. A sub-division was being built in an area that the Mohawks considered their land, so they occupied it and caused alot of inconvenience to the non-natives and hostility towards the Mohawks. I wonder if anyone knows how these Mohawks on the Grand River contributed to the war effort for our country in the 20th century? We should give them waaaayyy more respect.
And why is this in the "immigration" section? It has nothing to do with immigration law.
I would ask you to be honest but propagandists have taken an oath to lie. This question just one more propaganda-missile fired by La Raza, La Zeta, Reconquista and the like.
As always, it uses the tactic of confusing guilt (an emotion) with logic (law); a tactic popularized by Hitler.
In all history, tables turn. The victims in this immigration battle are the persons of all colors who are following the law. The tax-paying middle-class who can NOT collect a penny of assistance from the government while little girls (many only 10 to 14 years old), already 8 months pregnant, come here, give birth to a child and begin, immediately to collect our money.
And Legal immigrants of all ethnicities live in FAR greater fear of deportation than any of these so vocal about it.
One student with a scholarship to Columbia University Medical School was deported earlier this year. The reason? Her lawyer failed to file a document on time. Her mother is a legal U.S. resident. But she doesn't have the support of La Raza, Reconquista and La Zeta's.
In fifty years, we'll look back and compare them to Hitler's regime.
Only this time, Hitler doesn't speak German. Historians will draw similarities, though. The new Reich is racist, violent and, so far, just okay at propoganda, as this question clumsily demonstrates.
With each of these questions that attempts to confuse logic with emotion, the picture just gets clearer and clearer.
This is not a desperate attempt of a few people to better themselves - that's the emotionally charged front. There are plenty of candidates offering to come legally, register, pay and do all the necessary things. I've never heard of the "Green Card Lottery" having any openings left.
Rather, it is a very well-funded, well-organized, militarized, media-driven effort to finally end the greatest threat to lawlessness the world has recently known: The determination of a people to establish and follow a system of law that is as close as possible to respectful and respectable. It's an effort to end representative government once and for all. And it would seem that most in our government and media have already crossed over.
