immigrants should have that opportunity. br> -- Bob Danielson /p> p> Regarding Paul Crespo -- brilliant! McCain needs to be looking at him for a Cabinet spot or some position of responsibility in his administration. He's got more gravitas than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton combined.

I disagree with the author that Americans don't understand the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. We do. We welcome legal immigrants and are understandably unhappy with illegal immigrants.

As a U.S. government worker I worked with many Americans of Hispanic heritage. They loved their country and spoke excellent English. I enjoyed working with them and appreciated their friendship.

The problem that has arisen is with the illegal immigrants. Many have no intention of staying here. They want to make money and leave. They don't play by the rules by learning the English language and don't know anything about American culture. I watched a Hispanic driver almost get hit by an ambulance because he didn't know enough to give way to it.

p>I'm glad Civica Americana is trying to help Hispanics to become part of America. That is what we need. We don't need divisive multiculturalism. We need more patriotic Hispanic Americans who can participate in both a Hispanic culture and our joint American culture. br> -- Donna Danckaert br> Severna Park, Maryland
