The fact that the Spanish language is being targeted by anti-immigrant activists wanting to take down bilingual signs, etc. confirms what we've known all along, which is that the immigration debate is not about "legal vs. illegal" immigration, but rather, is about race. Immigration debates in U.S. history have been historically tied to debates about race, and the current one is no different. Not all undocumented immigrants speak Spanish, yet only Spanish-language services are being targeted. Let's see them try to stop Polish-language services in Chicago meant for the city's large Polish population (many of whom are undocumented) that has blonde hair and blue eyes.
