None of my friends are stupid enough to drive under the influence, nor do they ever pressure me into doing dumb things that will get me into trouble. Shiit all comes down to a matter of personal responsibility, okay? That means you are also responsible for, not only your actions, but who you choose to be/hangout with! Even if Latino community is suffering from increase in DUI incidents like you say, it shouldn't be looked at as a fault of the entire ethnic community but rather as a fault of each individual who are responsible. Last time I checked, DUI is just like any other crime, meaning that it doesn't have anything to do with one's particular culture but rather stems from individuals carelessness to be responsible and obey the law.

Sigh. Pointing fingers doesn't help our cause! I wish some individuals would understand that. I don't know about you, but I don't want any individual, regardless of race, to face the horrors of facing uncivil deportation and being humiliated for violating a law he committed when he was young (being illegal)
Yes he drove drunk. So send him back to Mexico? Be reasonable not loud.

? You still didn't address my point- illegal immigrants in this country walk a thin line, some by choice, others by the choice of others.

My logic is not flawed, it just doesn't agree with your tendencies to show a lack of compassion and a self-dignifying stance
