Racism Against Mexicans

Are Hispanics For or Against Illegal Immigration?

I yell, "The Constitution is the highest law of the land.  What part of unconstitutional do you not understand?  The Supreme Court, the highest court of the land, ruled that no child in the U.S. can be deprived of an education -- that was back in 1982 when Texas tried to do what you now propose -- do you live so far in the woods that you haven't got the word yet? And in 1868, the 14 What separates us in the proposed methods, distasteful rhetoric, and draconian laws enacted by various states with long history of racial and ethnic discrimination.  Hispanics of all colors are not willing to surrender their civil and constitutional rights at the altar of discrimination.  And we most assuredly will resist any attempt at punishing children for the presumed misdeeds of one or both their parents. How is it that 3 percent of the population mostly made up of low-wage, manual labor workers can be responsible for all the economic, unemployment, and social disasters the US faces?  Were such the case, the nation would be in far deeper trouble than imagined.  And why left out of the rhetoric are the other 3.7 million undocumented immigrants from countries other than Latin America, and still claim racism is not in play?

Mexican rockers urge Latinos to combat racism ... - Hispanic-Americans

Mexican rock band Mana urged thousands of Hispanic concert-goers here to take a stand against racism in the United States and never forget where they come from.

"Never forget your roots ... we have to keep fighting those lousy damn racists," lead singer Fernando "Fher" Olvera told some 10,000 people packed inside George Mason University's Patriot Center on Thursday night.

Referring to huge flags of Latin American nations that decorated the stage, Olvera said they are a "symbol of Latin American unity."

During the sold-out show, Mana offered a selection of its biggest hits and a sampling of songs from the band's latest album and delivered a political message in favor of the environment and immigrant rights.

Olvera called on Hispanics to fight back against what he termed a wave of racism against immigrants in the United States, where Mexicans make up around 60 percent of the Latino population.

Arizona's SB 1070, a law aimed at identifying and eventually deporting illegal immigrants, has sparked mass protests and boycotts but also inspired similar legislation in other states.

One measure in Alabama, set to take effect Sept. 1, authorizes police to detain suspected illegal migrants in some circumstances, mandates penalties for anyone who transports an undocumented immigrant and requires all employers in the state to use the federal E-Verify system to check the legal eligibility of potential employees.
