Same as most folks. Hard work, loyalty to America, helping build a stronger nation. Names for our streets and towns. Building foundations of civilization. Teaching the natives the 'value of gold and of hard work'. Catholicism.
We are leaving Illegal Immigrants and drug smugglers out of this, of course. That's another issue entirely.

They are similar and in no way more important than those contributions of the African, Asian, European, and native peoples contributions to this great nation.
The contributions of ILLEGAL Aliens have been an increase in crime, drugs, STD's, illiteracy, poverty, lower wages and community standards, and really, really, poor communications and interactions with the English Speaking LEGAL citizens who live here LEGALLY.
Why do you ask Senor Pancho Villa!?

Contributions of great food, culture, music, festivals, beer, etc. I am an English expat, I am fairly new to the United States and have moved from London to San Diego. I feel that Hispanics have contributed and influenced this town tremendously as the name San Diego itself is Hispanic.

Speaking legal....they have shared with us a wonderful culture that most do not get the opportunity to see regularly...I lived in the Southwest and the influence of Hispanic culture was very prevalent.
The design, use of color, the handcrafted iron work, the cuisine....they have contributed many wonderful things that have benefited our culture...

See? Little by little the issue is turning against Hispanics and not illegals from all around the globe only. Contributions would be same as any other American: taxes and market. You also have very smart people like the physcist from Princeton College who is from Argentina. The General Attorney of the U.S. is of Mexican Heritage.

Cheap hard work, market expansion,diversity in a "diverse made of" country, culture interchange, and so others.
I agree with the fact that they should get there in a legal way.

When I read your question I knew that losers like 'lifeloom' would reply. I spent most of my life in San Diego, where black, white, hispanic, cuban, vietnamese, etc., all contributed equally to make us a wonderfully diverse society with good and bad in each population. For the most part the Hispanics have brought us romance, work ethics, Godliness and a beautiful second language. They are also community leaders, mayors, bankers, doctors and merchants. Those who come here illegally show us that pride is in work, no matter what it is, they take jobs we won't, because we are too proud to pick lettuce (more like we're too lazy, they're too proud not to work) but we're (white) not too proud to collect welfare. (Note that 50% of all welfare recipients & 95% of all serial killers are white. The other 50% of welfare recipients & the other 5% of serial killers are made up of a racial diversity), I am white caucasion and think that my race is no better or no worse than anyother human beings race.
