Beltway republicans like George Will really piss me
off. I despise nothing more than a gated
community organizer. What in the hell
does this guy know about illegal immigration?
How many illegal aliens does he encounter at work? Do his children or grandchildren go to
underperforming public schools that are infested with illegal alien children
who don’t speak English? I know damn
well he’s not standing in line at social services behind Maria and her litter of
wailing brats.
Mr. Will believes we can absorb all these eight year
olds with teddy bears. The majority of
these invaders are teenagers. Those who
have Care Bears are accompanied by a mother, or picked up by a family member
who’s already here. Does Mr. Will believe
these children are here to be adopted by Americans? Not likely.
Assimilation is difficult when an immigrant lives in a diaspora. It’s even more difficult when their language, culture and traditions are not similar
to ours. It’s near impossible when they
don’t want to be Americans. How many
times have we seen Latinos wave the Mexican flag at immigration rallies? It happens at almost every one of them.
People like Mr. Will love to quote Emma
Lazarus. I’m sure he has to be aware that
the United States had quotas for various countries in the early 1900’s. Some weren’t allowed here at all,
particularly the Asians. Those who did
make it here had to meet certain qualifications, or were sent back. As of now, the United States has no
qualifying standards. We basically have
an open border.
The noted scholar Samuel P. Huntington, who is now
deceased, warned us about massive immigration from any one country. In this case he wrote about Mexico, however,
I do believe it applies to all of Latin America since these people have a
common culture and language.
As their
numbers increase, Mexican-Americans feel increasingly comfortable with their
own culture and often contemptuous of American culture. They demand recognition of their culture and
the historic Mexican identity of the American southwest. They increasingly call attention to and
celebrate their Hispanic and Mexican past.
What their growth in numbers has done, according to one 1999 report, “is
help ‘Latinize’ many Hispanic people who are finding it easier to affirm their
heritage…they find strength in numbers, as younger generations grow up with
more ethnic pride and as Latin influence starts permeating fields like
entertainment, advertising, and politics.”
We’ve all heard of La Raza and their mythical Aztland. Well take a look at the map below. Do you notice what Honduras, Guatemala,
and Mexico have in common?
