Too often, the issue of illegal immigration in the U.S. is viewed as a racial issue. For some groups [on both sides, i.e. KKK, La Raza (The Race), etc.] it is a racial issue. However, for the majority of Americans, it is more of a legal/illegal issue. The latinos have trouble viewing it as a legal issue when many Americans break laws with no remorse (speeding, etc.). How about language? If the hispanic immigrants, both legal and illegal, showed a sincere desire to learn English and use it as we do, would illegal immigration be such a big deal? Does it really have to do with laws, economics, or race? Or is it really just a communication barrier stemming from a culture clash?
