Multnomah County in Oregon - home to Portland - funded a "needs and assets assessment of the Hispanic community of Multnomah County". Click the link to read a fisk of the document, such as of this putrid slice:
Solidarity is what has enabled Latinos to make remarkable political gains as a group, in spite of their internal diversity. Solidarity is the basis of the concept of La Raza (your own people). Loyalty to the group starts by recognizing paisanos (those from your country) wherever one goes.
Racial solidarity is great! (Of course, it's only acceptable when performed by Oppressed Persons of Color. Otherwise, it's hatred, racism, xenophobia, and anti-human behavior.)

It is a real shame to see Oregon go the way of California. You can see this spreading out all across our country. You would think they would look at what has happened to California and try to avoid our mistakes.

As an Oregon resident and immigration restrictionist, let me note that we have Blue-State Oregon (Portland and the university towns of Corvallis and Eugene) and Red-State Oregon (the rest of Oregon). My relatives in Portland are light-years away from seeing anything wrong with the current flood of illegals, even to Oregon, and I don't know what it will take to wake them up.

Classic.
You know, I imagine they have intelligent people in Oregon. For example, people who can read. And these people must've read about LA, and California more generally -- what's happened there as a result of nearly uncontrolled Hispanic immigration. Or if they don't like reading, they can look at pictures:

Or the all time great top 10:

Do these folks in Oregon really imagine that as their communities become more "diverse", that they will escape some smaller scale version of this?
