I am Israel, and I am a Hispano American, or "Hispanoamericano", no, I am not "ilegal", I am not affraid to see a "gringo" packing heat, and yes we love to talk in spanish at all times, we have our own tvs spanish channels, and radios and movies theatres, etc, why are we this way ? it is becouse USA has freedom of speach, sometimes I think that having a brown skin is a blessing and a curse, some people ,the moment they see brown skin well, they must be "ilegales" , I have a good friend here in Boise, she is from the Seyschells Islands, in Africa, she has brown skin, and she has been ask many times, in spanish, if she is an "ilegal" when she apply for a job, . I have told my friends that we the Hispanos are not the enemies , we are not bombing buildings or airplains, we love the USA thats why we flock to this country, I do really feel bless comming to this country, never had any problems whith the inmigration authorities, never asked to show my "green card" ( it is blue ), now I do not have it, becouse I became a USA citizen, but for the love of God not all of us are "ilegales", and we are not affraid of white people packing guns, I have talk to many hispanos about O.C. sometimes I wander if I can start a hispanic O.C., we are about 80.000.000 hispanics in USA, ( Maybe more or less ) and USA is the 2nd. hispanic country in the world, The Royal academy of the Spanish Language has a representative in the USA. Please be gentle whith me if you answer back my letter, Your vaquero friend Israel.
