Damien Cave of the New York Times offers "A Generation Gap Over Immigration" (nytimes.com/2010/05/18/us/18divide.html), a dishonest attempt by the NYT to portray forced demographic change and massive illegal activity as hip and cool. It ends with the following, which summarizes the point that Cave is trying to make:

"My stepdad says, ‘Why do I have to press 1 for English?’ I think that’s ridiculous,” [an 18-year-old stock room worker] said, referring to the common instruction on customer-service lines. "It’s not that big of a deal. Quit crying about it. Press the button."

Before then, Cave tries to present support for massive illegal immigration as a matter of tolerance:

...baby boomers, despite a youth of "live and let live," are siding with older Americans and supporting the Arizona law... Boomers were also more likely to say that “no newcomers” should be allowed to enter the country while more young people favored a “welcome all” approach.

Actually, massive and illegal immigration - something that's been forced on most Americans through various means - runs contrary to the first part of "live and let live".

Cave says that "the causes are partly linked to experience", but plays the race card and the Hispanic civil rights card:

In contrast, baby boomers and older Americans - even those who fought for integration - came of age in one of the most homogenous moments in the country's history.

The latter isn't entirely true: for an ironic counter-example, see the Frank Sharry bio linked from here. And, of course, the experience that's more relevant is one of writing checks: it's easy to support massive immigration when you aren't the one footing the bill or having your wages reduced.
