I agree intregally with you. The illegal imigration
is "illegal" only to supply a legion of cheap, exploitable workers. The
American corporations spread all over the world without barriers, but the people
cannot follow the inverse way. The so-called globalization is
"one-way".

Would it include Brazilians? The definition states that is aplicable to Spanish-language countries, which would automatically exclude Brazilians, but if a Brazilian consider himself as a Latino it will be a Latino. By this circular definition , if Swedes identify themselves as Latinos, they will be Latinos. Amazing.<PCR> Amazing? It is pathetic. But there is logic behind it all. The primary force guiding "definitions" is the desire by certain American business interests to ensure a steady supply of cheap, hapless labor. And the continuing flood of immigrants is designed to exert pressure on the already residing illegal immigrants not to get uppity, and actually demand a living wage.I have serious doubts about the integrity of anyone who would accept a US government agency definition for anything since facts or truth play no part in them whatsoever.Joao SL----- Original Message -----From: Brian M.

This is wildly inaccurate. Here's what the U.S. Census
Bureau says:
Hispanics or Latinos are those people who classified
themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or
Latino categories listed on the Census 2000 questionnaire
-"Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano," "Puerto Rican", or
"Cuban" -as well as those who indicate that they are
"other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino." Persons who indicated
that they are "other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino" include
those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking
countries of Central or South America, the Dominican
Republic or people identifying themselves generally as
Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and
so on.
Everyday usage varies but certainly does not restrict the
term to Mexican Americans; the traditional term for them is
<Chicano, -a>.
