I taught in a barrio high school for 18 years. Young Mexican American kids overwhelmingly rejected and looked down up "wet backs" (their disparaging tern, not mine) I'm not so certain that the Hispanic community is anywhere near as monolithic on this issue of supporting "open borders" as some people would like us to believe. My students realized that illegal immigrants were eventually going to be competing with them for jobs after high school.
