Pew report: Latinos divided over illegal immigrants, other issues
Source: CNN

Washington (CNN) -- Latinos in the United States are divided over a host of issues, including what to do about unauthorized immigrants, a reflection of the national political controversy over illegal immigration, a national study released Thursday finds.

Slightly more than half of the nation's Hispanics say illegal immigrants should pay a small fine but not be deported, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.

Another 28 percent of the Latino respondents to the Pew poll say unauthorized immigrants should not be punished. On the other side, 13 percent say they should be deported.

Latinos also are feeling increased concerns about discrimination, again the result of the national controversy over illegal immigration, the survey found.

2. That's my take, too.
Another thing we Latinos agree on-- no matter how conservative we may be, we don't vote for a party that demonizes us. The Republicans will be done in the Southwest within 20 years, if not 15. How will they ever win a national election if they can't carry either California or Texas?

3. that's why they are feverishly trying to revoke birthright citizenship, etc.
They know that in the next few decades they will gradually be voted into extinction.

Bring on the Real Melting Pot!

4. Where's the "division" that CNN headlines. Patently deceptive. Intentionally deceptive.
This is race-baiting by CNN just before the election.

Some executive wanted to push this story and you don't need an IQ of even 70 to know why.

As I wrote here weeks ago: Call it by its name, it's propaganda.
