"Immigrants find a friend in The Governator"

From Ruben Navarrette of the Dallas Morning News:

...Americans shouldn't be going out of their way to accommodate illegal immigrants - or when you really get down to it, those Americans who employ them - by making life in the United States comfortable for people who shouldn't be here.

I'm not sure all immigrants get that. After Schwarzenegger's veto, a television news crew for a Spanish-language network descended on the streets of Los Angeles to gauge public reaction. A Latina, identified as undocumented, said she thought the governor had done a terrible thing and that she felt discriminated against.

Bingo, senora. You are being discriminated against. You're being singled out because you came here illegally. And when you decided to do so, you accepted - whether you realized it or not - the likelihood that you wouldn't experience all the privileges enjoyed by native-born Americans, legal residents and naturalized U.S. citizens. In this case, that includes the right to drive legally on U.S. roadways.

Immigrants living in America used to think in terms of opportunities.

Now, more and more, they think in terms of entitlements.
