Illegal Immigration
DrewKaree:
Re-reading my post, I didn't tell of the outcome.
After it became apparent no one cared (I figured two weeks was enough for some crack INS agent to stop in and find out what's up), I called the cops, told them what was going on, and they took him in for questioning. I never saw or heard from the guy again.

My understanding is that the word hispanic refers to any Spanish speaking person who originates from central or south America. There are probably more sophisticated definitions but I think that's the gist of it. I've never understood why such a diverse group of people are all grouped together under a single label.
I guess a lot of the illegal hispanic immigrants get called 'Mexican' because they have to travel through Mexico to get to the States.

Hispanic, at least here, also refers to people from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, any of those Spanish speaking countries as well.

I asumme that we are all aware the Perto Rico is part of the United States. And therefore puerto rican's are not illegal immigrants.

I'm not sure that is 100% correct. They don't have all of the legal rights of a normal citizen in terms of landing and immigrating, that much I know for sure.
