Herald: "Migrants agree: It's harder to get jobs"

My comments:
As Mr. Buchanan said a few years back on Larry King, if the "illegals" were Irish then it would be a different story. However, we do not know how widespread is racism against Hispanics. I am an American citizen who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, and for the first time, I can say that I have felt racism against Hispanics. The worst part is that the bigotry is well-accepted and politically correct these days. Listen to Mr. Tancredo -- an Italian descent -- he refers to Hispanics, illegals or legals as an inferior race. How would his ancestors feel when they were discriminated against? Did his ancestors learn English right away? Racism is not accepted for Jews or Blacks, but it is certainly accepted for Hispanics and Muslims. Let's have a debate about Immigration Reform (pros, cons, effect on the Economy, Social Security, etc.) but please keep the racists out of it. They don't care if a Hispanic is legal or illegal, or born in this country for that matter.
