Instead of letting any Juan into the country, perhaps we need a point system that rewards education level, skill set and an ability to live independent of government aid similar to Canada's and Australia's?

no, its just a category for people living in america who are originally from latin america/ or whose parents were originally from latin america.
hispanics may be either black or white or even meztizo (native american mixed white)
Then there will be problems when the percentage of whities sinks below 50%...

"Hispanic" means a cultural and linguistic heritage, not a racial one.
Aren't they all Americans? Don't they all want to make a good America better?

I've lived in the U.S. for some time, in a heavily Hispanic populated area, and despite the racism against minorities, I have never met best Americans than those coming from minorities.

What is the meaning, nowadays, to group people together racially and ethnicalyl? Isn't everyone worth equal under the constitution?
Bottom line - Is USA still a racistic country?

Maybe things have changed, but what I felt back then was a totally segregated society. Even though you are "free" to go everywhere, the neighborhoods and malls are clearly divided, and you feel the tension in the air.
Then again, I lived in California, and then some time in Texas, and those two states are ver special ones, for historic, social, economic, geographical and other reasons.
P.S. Moreover, take into account that my opinion must likely is shaped by the fact that I am "Hispanic" myself.
