i lived with Latinos for 5 years. All I would hear is white people are cold. White people don't understand family. White people have bad feelings. All the Latino families I know are chock full of infedelity, multiple fathers, domestic abuse, deadbeat fathers. many irresposible births. Family values are considering your childrens needs above your own desires. I guess the Latino culture follows the creed..."Whatever feels good must be good" I'm not racist I'm just tires of the BS racial claims being stated at immigration rallies. Makes me want to puke.

Well, it's all about the way you were raised. For example: I was born in Cuba. The goverment only shows you the "bad things" US citizens do. But still, many people want to come to this country b/c of the variety and employment opportunities. My grandparents thought that everything from the US was bad. However, as soon as I came and started school, their opinion changed. Latinos have very good family values, but like all humans we make mistakes. US citizens too. It's all based in ignorance. Some people just talk without knowing what they are saying. Maybe the neighborhood you lived in wasn't a nice one. I can assure you that not all Latinos are like that. At least, I am not.

Their idea of family values are different than most Americans. Our parents (most) raised us to respect our elders, courtesy and humility. If they find us cold, it could be due to their attitude problem. If they think we don't understand 'family', how can they explain the fact that more 'white' Americans get married before starting their families, have less abusive husbands and their children grow up respecting other people more than the Latino children respect other people. The age of consent here is 16, in most states. They have an age of consent of 12 in Mexico, this is a baby!! Americans are for the most part peaceful people. We are appalled at the demonstations and protests the illegal immigrants staged in our country. Their loud, angry, vile words aimed at legal American citizens were something we are not accustom to in our own country by people who are not citizens and have no rights here. They erroneously assume we are 'afraid' of them or are 'lazy' or 'indifferent' because we let them have their little pity party, that we will allow them to continue to abuse our laws. They are sadly mistaken. We are fighting them through our demands for our laws to be enforced including deportation, heightened border patrol and control, refusing to give them federal assistance and penalizing anyone who hires them, rents to them or sells a house to them. They are the losers. If they had such strong 'Family Values" they would have stayed in their own country and fought like our brave men and women did for OUR rights and made changes in their country to make it a better country FOR their families and future generations. What wonderful 'family values' they are teaching their children when they bring them across our border illegally and abuse the people of our country through our taxes, lowering our wages, ruining our economy, closing our hospitals and bringing in dangerous diseases. They are teaching them to call us vile names because we want our laws enforced. Do they not wonder why the illegal immigrants from other countries are not out in the multitudes along with them? Could it be the illegal immigrants from other countries WERE taught 'family values', courtesy, humility and know how to admit they are wrong and know to go back to square one and do it right? They should learn a lesson from THOSE illegal immigrants. THEY are not despised in the USA, THEY will become legal first because they are not wasting their time here trying to fight and change our laws to suit them. Illegal Hispanics need to dig deep inside and face the truth. They are not 'right' and the rest of the world 'wrong'. They are delusional if they think so.

Gross generalization, you must be living in the distant past, maybe 30 years ago? Birth control is popular, no matter what the church says, education is number one with modern families, child care is now available for working mothers in Mexico and abuse and infidelity isn't a focus of of one race of people. You are a racist and should be ashamed of such ignorant rhetoric.

They have a different view of the meaning than most Americans of any color. Not all, but the illegal ones who voice their demands for rights they don't have certainly are not showing any family values. Their families have not taught them to respect laws, other cultures, to not bite the hand that feeds you. They allow their children to engage in sex WAAY to early!! They have more illegitimate children at much younger ages. Their men treat their women with no respect, calling them filthy names. NO, their family values are not quite up to American 'family values'.
(PS~ Didn't you mean..It's "easier" to put a camel throught the eye of a needle than to find an Hispanic virgin in East L.A....?)

Well it sounds like you have a problem with the latinos that you know being hypocrits. Dont make that about all Latinos. And if you are going to talk about infedelity and domestic abuse and deadbeat fathers...I think it is only fair to mention that it happens alot in white relationships too.

it solely depends on the individual and the way they were raised. also anywhere you get a concentration of one particular ethnicity, that ethnicity stands out above all others. for example, in the Bronx you will see a lot of black people commit more crime than others, in California you will probably see more Hispanic crime than others. here in Nebraska where i currently live, you see more white and Sioux Indian criminals than any other, solely because we have few other ethnicity's in our area. the same would go for how children are raised. when you combine that with poverty it becomes a mess, no matter who you are

And teaching your children to break the law is a good family value?
When illegals even admit they are illegal, they teach their children it is ok to break the law.
When they steal SS#'s, they create misery for the innocent people they victimize....and teach their children, again, to thumb their noses at the law.
What's good about any of this?

Did you live with every single latino in the world for 5 years, or do you wanna generalize? Doesn't make sense to take what a few say and stamp it to millions of latinos across the world does it? Thank you for your ignorance, have a great day.
Every race, religion, color, ethnicity or what have you have those who have good family values and those who don't.
I'm just left to wonder wether you are talking about immigration issues or inner hatred issues. You keep talking about living with Lations, and all their flaws, yet I fail to see how that includes every single one. I now live in South Carolina, and I've seen some Caucasian people that are exactly what you are describing. Is it fair for me to say that all Caucasians are like these few that I've met?

some Hispanic families do have some values, not all of them. While you mentioned of abuse, committing adultry, bad fathers. Its not only in the Hispanic world, but all others. So I think you should think how to ask a better question next time.

Its not about family values its about how you see family.Personally for example in the latino culture we are raised to take care of our elderly like our parents.We might not enjoy having them in the home but I know many latino families that have their parents live with them.Where as with white people most tend to think as the elderly as a burden and nusiance.Hence why there are so many nursing homes.They just send them there and the few that do still live at home hardly ever see their parents.Once I asked a friend of mine who was white why she never visited her parents anymore and her answer was "they raised me,and i thank them for that but my family now are my chidren and husband.Besides I still see them for the holidays".And also in latino families the children are taught that no matter what family is to be protected,cherished and respected.And like I said though I know many white people also instill those values in their children it doesn't seem to be ingrained that much.Another example of that was when I was in college and saw that when the holidays came around many of the latino children were excited about how they were going to see their families and how they were going to bring their bfs/gfs to meet their family and how they would get to see all their aunts and cousins.To them it was a great treat,but the majority of the white kids looked like they were on their way to be shot.All i would hear would be "god I have to go see my parents,maybe i can tell them i'm sick" or "Guess i better go since i did ditch out on christmas".So yeah in my eyes its all about values and what those values instilled in you are.
