The rapid escalation of the U.S. anti-immigration hysteria -- fueled by ratings-hungry cable-television hotheads and leading Republican presidential hopefuls -- is a dangerous trend: It may lead to a Hispanic intifada that may rock this nation in the not-so-distant future.
Better get the old shootin eye up to snuff.
Remember the Palestinian intifada of the early 1990s, when thousands of frustrated young Palestinians took to the streets and threw stones at Israeli troops? Remember the French intifada of the summer of 2005, in which disenfranchised Muslim youths burned cars and stores in the suburbs of Paris?
If we are not careful, we may see something similar coming from the estimated 13 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, most of them Hispanic, who are increasingly vilified in the media, forced further into the underground by spineless politicians and not given any chance to legalize their status by a pusillanimous U.S. Congress.

If they fight as hard as they work we won't have anything to worry about.

The Gov will never tolerate a mini civil war. They won't give back any states either. This could lead to 2 things: amnesty, or the real solution to this problem. Amnesty will just bring in more, until, I think, the Gov will wake up. I hope so. 13 million illegal latinos or the legal latinos, ( which in total, add up to much more than 13 mil), cannot crush the US. La Raza cannot crush the US. Not even with Bill Gates backing them.
The Israeli's crushed both intifadas.

You are using a column where the writer compared the Palestine's uprising to the illegals having the right to riot due to the fact they were not granted amnesty. If a up rising does happen it will happen in the big cities like NYC, LA, and cities in Texas. While I think that amnesty was not the thing to do, but vigilante justice is not the way either. I also believe that if the illegals do come out of the shadows to riot, deportation is the way to go when they are caught

they are illegal and just because they complain does not give them the right or give the government cause to make them legal for their illegal act.
if they want to intifada let them go at it. they will be extremely sorry they even attempted it! that will never get them legal status!!! it will get them imprisoned, deported or killed.
their choice.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! WE OWE THEM NOTHING!!!
if they feel that they are entitled to something from the government make it their government that coughs up what ever it is they feel entitled to!!!! NOT OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they start, all the better. Will hopefully wake up the "shamnesty" crowd to what they have been ignoring. I figure it will be full armed conflict soon enough. No worries, stocked-locked-loaded.

It's already happening we have had illegal riots in major cities as a result of them being here and they are planting MX flags in USA's land. It is war and has been for some time.
