A Similar Situation

I've been wondering when this would happen. Hispanic American citizens are beginning to demand immigration laws be enforced. See the story at MyFoxHouston, hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.

I grew up living in a SoCal orange orchard across the street from a Mexican-American family named Lopez. They were solid citizens, had a nice place, worked hard, and were good neighbors.

The Lopez family had as little in common with the braceros who picked our oranges as long-time Californians had with the Okies who fled the 1930s dustbowl. I can believe them resenting waves of dirt-poor illegals overrunning the region, exactly as the Okies were resented decades earlier.
