Legal Immigrants Support For Illegal Aliens

Are legal immigrants more likely to support government policies that benefit illegal aliens such as amnesty or some sort of legalization process for those already here?

I can't answer for everyone else but I certainly support it. I was born here but my parents legally came to the United States from Mexico. I'm assuming that you're including all illegal immigrants in your question but let's be honest. When talking about illegal immigrants, everyone thinks of Mexicans. I'm not calling any specific individuals racist but the whole undertone of the immigration debate makes me feel like it's an issue of race and not law. I think a lot of people are afraid of the rapid growth of the Hispanic community. People are scared they will lose their power. That's as simple as it is.
