I can believe this. When I was in California, especially back in the 1980s and 90s, half of my friends were Hispanic, and to a man they were against illegal immigration.
There were a couple of them that were Californios who's families had been in California before California became a State, but most of them were children or grandchildren of Mexicans that came here legally and then became citizens. They thought it was pure bullshit that their families spent years going through the process while illegals were able to circumvent the system.
