in that area? Isn't that just a bogus idea made up from the religious right? I've heard people here say that Americans need better family values like the latinos. This is tottaly arrogant to another level........anybody agree./disagree?

Good family values are not a universal attribute ,it cant be something credited to only one cultural group or race.It is an individual way of handing ones personal life and and treatment of ones family members.
Because of the different cultures ,each group may treat their family differently.What might be considered "help" to one group is an intrusion in another group .Different races have different ways to show their love and concern.It doesn't make one superior to the other,it only
makes them different,not better.
I have seem the so called family values in many different races and cultures,one cant forget how loving and caring the Italians ,Israelis,Asians,etc I could go on and on .But I think you get the point I'm trying to make.No I don't think
Hispanics have the best family values,they are simply a different part of this analogy not the most important part.
Culture plays an important part in this equation, and its not a universal truth so its untrue that Hispanics have "better" family values.My family is loving,supportive,honest,moral,ethical and American .Yours may be the same ,does that make either of us better than the other? No it does not.
And yes I do think its just another non issue presented by the pro illegals to support an argument that they know has no grounds in fact or morality.Its a crime to enter a country without proper legal documentation.Its not very good values to commit a crime by circumventing the laws because you don't agree with them.Being in a country illegally means you are a criminal .
Bottom line,a criminal.

They aren't superior in anything that matters. They may be superior in stealing and lying.
We have good family values here. My parents have been together for almost 40 years. I have been with the same man for years. I don't call getting pregnant at 15 and having a baby every single year "good family values". They aren't. I agree with you. El ITIOTO talks like he knows something, he's typical. He knows nothing but spreads lies and falsehood.

The way the family unit is with the Latinos as I've seen is there is no difference in the direct family mother,Father,son daughters, than there is with the the extended family as well as family friends Grandparents etc.....You very rarely see this in American families except at Holidays. They are extremely close and loving families even in most cases with the separation or divorce within that family.
If that's not family value what is?

No. Latinos are all united. They do have better moral values. All the girls don't get pregnant and the guys don't all sell drugs. Whoever wrote that needs to take a very good look at THEMSELVES before they criticize us. My parents are both undocumented and I'm attending college and I still haven't gotten pregnant.

Family values is a personal thing. Though most hispanics tend to have better family values than the typical American it doesn't mean that situation is true for every family you compare.

as for the Latio's they are one family you see there where the founders to insest so they formed one big happy family, that is why they are so called supporting there families in Mexico with the American money

A lot of people say a lot of things that are fact-less and clueless!
I would agree that Hispanics generally have a larger extended family in close vicinity, and if illegal, probably in the same house!

Because they meet so many people like princess 2971 and DAR. These two individuals have no values what so ever and the illegals/ legal hispanics and the rest of the world judge the Americans according to these two.
