I agree with you wholeheartedly. I found the video funny in a sort of "punk'd" kind of way. That's it. I have all the respect in the world for Hipanics that "do whatever it takes" to earn enough money to put food on their families table. Hell, I even learned their language, because quite honestly, I was a minority in CA. That wasn't the only reason though. I used to travel down to San Carlos Mexico very often when I lived in Tucson, AZ. I feel that if you are going to spend a lot of time in another country where english is not the primary language, then you should show your respect by learning their language. Now with that said, one of my few pet peeves with respect to illegals or even naturalized hispanics, is that they should take the time to learn our language. Many of these folks live here 10, 15 years plus, and still don't speak any english. Their kids translate for them because they learn it in school. In addition; I will go out on a limb and say that I was not in support of California's proposition to issue CA drivers licenses to illegals.
Just my 2¢, no flames please
Have a great weekend,
