Wait, wait a minute! This is America and certainly these people have the right to complain. We all have representatives and Senators that we can write and express out views.

But, where do this group, who is suppose to be promoting integration and assimilation of the recent wave of legal immigrants get off telling the Governor that he messed up by not asking THEM, again THEM for their input on the matter of illegal immigration? Who do they think they are assessing their jobs, their importance to the Governor that he should consider their take on a matter that is overrun by illegal aliens breaking the law?

Get over it! This is the United State of American citizens not platform for Hispanics around the globe.

Quit your positions, go back to your native country, get in touch with your roots but don't you even dare and I mean dare tell our Governor what he can and cannot do!!!!!

Since when is the Governor required to consult with special interest groups prior to trying to better enforce existing laws of this State???

I believe that all of these commissions and "advocate" groups of the Hispanic community are hurting their cause instead of helping it. They are the people creating this "climate of fear". They are demanding rights for people who broke our laws by entering the country ILLEGALLY.

Why don't these groups get together and work out a proposal that will allow the people they are defending to be identified, fined and processed with the end result / goal being to become LEGAL citizens?

In order to have rights in this country, you must denounce your home country, become a legal citizen and pledge allegiance to the United States of America. I am sorry but you just can not have it both ways, come to America to become an American, period.

If our country continues to allow abuses of our laws in ways such as these, we are just getting ahead in the race to the bottom.

Not passing this order also creates racial profiling.

Gee a bunch of Hispanics concerned with this order might lead a person like me to belive there are illeagal members of the Hispanic kind here in RI. You do not hear an uproar from the Irish, French and others who game here the right way. Get the heck out if you are not legal. That is the key word in all of this. You are the only group fighting this!

I hope the governor doesn't waste his time. He has heard all their misguided views. They are not for the taxpayers, they are for the bloodsuckers who use the system for their own sick gains. R.R.H

Well, this just convinces me that these Hispanic Hate Groups are just fronts for criminal activity. If you are not ILLEGAL then the exectutive order does not impact you at all. If you are a legal resident, I would think you would want all the criminal aliens to go home so that they would not tarnish your own image by association. You know folks, my father was a legal immigrant from Italy. When ever he saw a story about possible Mafia people he always felt humiliated that some of his countrymen might be engaged in criminal activity. He would say, "they ought to lock them up and throw away the key". The illegal alien problem is not limited to Hispanic people. But for those illegals that may be Hispanic, why don't these Hispanic people denounce such criminal behavior the way my father did? Why do they think they should get a free pass?

The previous comments demonstrate the ignorance that people demonstrate time and time again. This is the GOVERNOR"S Advicory Commission on Hispanic Affairs. These are people appointed by the governor to advise him on issues that concern the Hispanic community. Is there any doubt that this order affects Hispanics? There are 30 thousand illegal Irish in Mass but you can bet they will not be stopped by the police. Finally, please learn history before you invoke it. Before 1922 all you needed to get into this country legally was to get here. No quotas or restrictions. If we applied the same rules today, there would be no illegals. I'm sorry, there were restrictions against "imbecils and mentally deranged" But they obviously were not enforced.

Just another reason to bang the pots and pans......get over it, the law is the law. This is the United States of America: Love it or leave it.

Quoted from the Projo "Member Jenny Rosario suggests the group would consider resigning as a whole if differences cannot be worked out with the Governor"

Does us a favor. Quit. We will save money on your salaries.
