Mexican-American immigration leaders and activists are hawkish right now.  They refuse to allow the 2nd amendment gun issue to take political capital away from a broken immigration system that ought to be addressed. Jose Penalosa, an Arizona local Immigration Lawyer recently wrote:

Lessons Learned-The battle is not over! We need CIR and the Dream Act for our community! We need leadership from Arizona’s congressional delegation to get this matter resolved. We need to continue to advocate and litigate for our families and community! Apply for Deferred Action now if you are eligible! Be wary of retribution against our family members and community!
