    3 Hispanic men broke into a house in Aurora, CO by pretending to be Amazon workers.

    So, having a Hispanic accent indicates they are illegal immigrants ? My son-in-law has a Hispanic accent. He was born in Puerto Rico, which obviously makes him a U.S citizen. It didn't seem to hinder him from getting an engineering degree from MIT and creating a start-up company that is now...
