This is why homogeneity of a population is a positive, not a negative quality. The alternative leads to this sort of split-personality, loss of a cohesive heritage.

There is no problem, if a society allows in the individual of another inheritance, another race or culture. In that situation, he accepts the climate of his adoptive land; their heritage becomes his; his gratitude for being there may make him more avid in its defense than those originally born to it. But the in movement of large numbers alien to that heritage, within a short time frame will inevitably lead to this sort of corruption.

This is not to single out the Mexicans; although they differ more widely than past waves of immigration from the traditional American norm. But New York, even under waves of Caucasian immigration in the early 20th Century, moved sharply to the Left; away from the politics of the American mainstream, or her own earlier leaders. For example, contrast Grover Cleveland's values as Governor of New York around 1880, with his fellow Democrat Mario Cuomo, a Century later. (Not sure of the spelling, and my point really does not require that I look it up.)

Do not misunderstand me. My views are not based upon an antagonism to foreigners. Three of my four grandparents were immigrants. My views are based upon a fondness for Americans and the uniquely American tradition. Liberal immigration policies will lead inevitably to its destruction. (See Immigration & The American Future.)

I was a young child during World War II, but I well remember the song that rallied America, "Remember Pearl Harbor, As we did the Alamo." It is my prayer that Texans will not allow that type of American spirit to be snuffed out in these days of confused purpose, and attempts to accommodate that which simply will not accommodate.

Is that what the Europeans did when they came to America? Accepted the climate of seemingly endless bounty? And how did the immigrant Europeans rate on the gratitude part? Such musings serve to make many feel better about what our ancestors ultimately committed.

There was an old adage I once studied at length. "Sins of the fathers will be visited upon the sons." In my experience, it has never failed--in spite of (or maybe because of) Jesus. And here we all are--fussing about the "immigrants." Sweetest of hypocrisy. Frightening for our children.
