Yes of course they are.
when there is 1 legal Hispanic and 10 illegals competing for the same blue collar job, corporations or bosses will hire the illegals instead, to pay them $1 an hour and get away with it. It's all about a profit margin. The ones who are supporting illegal immigrants with a labor argument, don't care about America, they just care about money. The legal Hispanics will be gypped out of house and home by teheir illegal counterparts, so they have every right to be pissed.

Tons. In fact the majority of Hispanic registered voters polled are against illegal immigration. If you ask about amnesty, it is somewhat more towards amnesty, but very definitely against illegal immigration as an ongoing problem.
The head of both the Utah and Illinois chapters of the Minutemen are Hispanics legally here, for example.

My wifes family are hispanic on her fathers side. Her grandparents immigrated legally almost 50 years ago. They worked very hard for themselves and their children, they integrated with the rest of America, and they now have many college educated grandchildren who own businesses, work for the federal government, who've completed law school, etc.
In their opinion, the illegal immigrants are circumventing and undermining everything that they sacrificed to do for themselves and for their children.

Yes
There Is A Very Loud (Vocal) Group Going By The Name
"You Dont Speak For Me"
http://dontspeakforme.org/
A Growing Movement Based In New York
(Primarily) Hispanic Group Of Legal Immigrants
That Do NOT Want To Be Associated With The
Amnesty Movement In Any Way
These People Righteously Believe That The ILLEGAL ALIENS
Are Criminal And Should Be Dealt With Accordingly
It Would Be A Slap In The Face To EVERY Immigrant
If Amnesty Is Granted To The ILLEGAL ALIENS
Their Principles Are Similar To 85 Percent Of America
http://dontspeakforme.org/principles.html
Our Principles
We are Americans of Hispanic heritage who believe in America. We believe in the governmental institutions and laws that make this country the greatest in the world. It is because of this strong belief in the principles of freedom, individual liberties, the rule of law, and democracy that we formed You Don't Speak for Me!: American Hispanic Voices Speaking Out Against Illegal Immigration.
American Hispanic voices are being shouted down by the hate and race-directed rhetoric of those who do not appreciate the laws of our country. We of You Don't Speak for Me! give voice to those without a voice and those whose opposition to illegal immigration is drowned out by illegal aliens and their supporters marching in the streets demanding undeserved "rights" of U.S. citizens.
We are standing together to say to the those who come here illegally and those who would give amnesty to those who have broken our laws, you are wrong and you should not be claiming to speak for all American Hispanics. You Don't Speak for Me!
Our principles are simple:
1)- All immigration should be legal
Illegal immigration hurts everyone, while carefully planned legal immigration helps. We believe in stopping illegal immigration and securing the national and economic future of our nation.
2)- Illegal aliens from any country should never be rewarded with benefits or privileges
Becoming an American citizen is a unique and wonderful privilege. The legal route to becoming a citizen is not easy and requires patience and hard work. Those who break the law and come illegally should not be granted any benefits or privileges. No driver's license, no welfare benefits, no free health care, no in-state tuition - simply put . . . no state or federal benefits!
3)- No amnesty - no way!
Amnesty is rewarding people who break the law. From past experience we have learned that granting amnesty only leads to increased illegal immigration. Those here illegally are taking advantage of our compassion. We say No Amnesty-No Way!
4)- Secure our borders now and fully enforce immigration laws
The best way to stop the flow of illegal immigration coming across our borders is to build a high security fence along the length of our southern border where the majority of illegal traffic takes place. We must also vigorously enforce our existing immigration laws. Local and state law enforcement should be free to enforce immigration laws. Employers who hire illegal workers should be heavily fined and if a pattern of practice is established their owners/corporate officers should be fined and jailed for the offenses and the corporate charter revoked. Identification documents must be limited and strong security measures like biometrics applied to documents of foreign workers. American citizens driver's licenses are now secured by the Real ID Act, non-citizens should be required to present documents not susceptible to fraud and counterfeit, and include biometric security measures - especially for work purposes.
5)- Learn and speak English
Learning the language of this country is the very least an immigrant can do. Learn and speak English. Learn the history of this country. Learn the Constitution and civics. Learn and practice the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.

Look at the Governor of Arizona.
He is very vocal on how he feels about the ILLEGALS.
He is Hispanic and Legal and is pi$$ed as heck at the bad name the ILLEGALS give to the rest of them that fought hard to do it the right way.
He is also all for border control.
We can feel sorry for poor people all over the world but we can't afford to feed,clothe,house,take care of all medical bills for everyone.
If ONE citizen of the USA has to be homeless or hungry while we take care of the ILLEGALS it is a disgrace to OUR nation and a slap in their face that you care more about the ILLEGALS than you do about our own citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even worse when it is a veteran who served our country.

I am half Spanish and am against it.
I don't think there are actually people out there who are pro-illegal immigration, they are just sympathetic to the illegals because they understand their situation and want to help. However, I am NOT sympathetic to the illegals who come into this country and demand rights.
