I actually think it fits quite well. The only assumption the domain makes is that all illegal immigrant are latinos. While most illegals in the USA are latinos, not all are.

I don't think it assumes that all illegal immigrants are latinos. For one thing, it doesn't specify the US so you will not know until you visit the site. In fact, it's a perfect name for what you plan on doing. The one thing that bothers me is the "illegaL" and "Latinos", two L's right beside each other.. looks funny in the domain. You should purchase one with a hyphen as well, it will probalby look better.

Fonz is correct. You might want to get something more along the lines of legal immigrants, legal workers, legal worker programs, or something and leave race out of it. It's not an offensive name really, but going more generic helps because the generic terms are usually searched more anyways. Not that I'm aware of what's taken already or not...LegalLatinos.com might be the best you can get, in which case, leave it at that and develop.

Not offensive (Not Offendable), but not a great name for your purpose anyway.
I let a dozen immigration names expire, and think about the .us possibilities since you're obviously heading that direction

[loredan]

Agree... The .us names would be suitable for your purpose

They speak spanish right?

Huh?

 

[Sarcle.com]

Huh?

Nevermind, I see this would be for employers not the employees to find legal immigrant workers.

I thought it was the other way around.

As long as the site content is factual and non-biased then I don't think this is offensive at all. The DN by itself is not too offensive either, however I am not latino nor an immagrant. Just my thoughts.

Mine

I'd use my domain - illegals.us

I think illegals are "offended" every time they are classified by legal/illegal status.

not offensive at all.

Hi,

Legallatinos doesn't "sound" well in spanish.

Do you like these ?:

latino.com.es

latin.com.es

 

[astronauco]

Yeah, legallatinos doesn´t sound well in spanish. Maybe you should find a nicer .us domain instead of that .com.

With respect to latin immigrants, I think it´s not offensive for them anyway.

 

[Smith]

The domain name sounds like it's for an adult site, not a legal immigration site.

 

[namenut]

Thank You all for the feedback. I wont be using the names
legallatinos.com or latinoslegales.com .

I agree the name sounds like a "barley legal" porn site.

Thank you all again for the advice. Some good valid points taken .

The fault with this is that "latinos" are not from Spain (.es). They are from Latin America, which is spanish speaking countries of the Americas such as Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, etc.

Is the name offensive, maybe to some, but it is very descriptive and if you are offended by it you will surely be more likely to remember it. I think you have a nice name on your hands.

Thank you for the feedback. I've had 3 people suggest it sounds like porn. Yet I also agree that one way to invoke memory is to aggitate. Any opinions on what name would be better?
