The Left would have you believe that opposing illegal immigration makes you a “racist,” but according to a story in the Albuquerque Journal, “Many Hispanics are among the strongest opponents of illegal immigration.” Here’s more:

…But more than half of Hispanics say that the United States has too many immigrants from Latin America. …

These viewpoints have a voice on the national level with You Don’t Speak for Me, a Hispanic group appalled at what they see as anti-American acts by the pro-immigration movement.

Al Rodriguez, a retired U.S. Army colonel, said he started the organization in May 2006 when he saw pro-immigrant marchers take down American flags.

“That’s what really hurt me as I’m a military retiree,” he said. “I said, ‘Well, wait a minute, these folks aren’t speaking for us.’ ”

Rodriguez said his group quickly grew to more than 5,000 members. …

Of course, the usual suspects label people like Rodriguez as “traitors” (Uncle Toms).
