Guess which religion is the fastest growing among hispanics?

So the brother of a Puerto Rican colleague tells me. He's one of the honchos of the Allianza Islamica here.

He's got a show on Pacifica Radio too. (eye roll)

I have to be polite to him on the rare occasions when I see him, it's a business thing...

And I will read this article later, 'cause I have to run now. Ash Wednesday service.

This is a great article which ought to lay to rest the fiction that this current wave of illegal immigrants are just like the many others which came.

The article does conclude that the current non mexican immigrants ARE very much like the others who came.

Despite this fact, I suspect you are very much against chinese or indian immigrants anyway, even thought the article pretty much says that they assimailate easily and behave pretty much the same or better than native born.

I'm not against anybody who is a "legal" immigrant, with the general exception of most Muslims. But that is because, even moreso than Communists, I think they are generally incapable of assimilation into our society because they cannot give full political loyalty to this country. They constitute a genuine threat to our long-term stabilty and peace as a nation. Behold Europe or any other place where they have emigrated in large numbers. Disaster!

The major problem here is unrestricted and unsustainable "illegal" immigration. I do, however, think immigration needs to be contolled in numbers as well as from which countries and cultures people come from. This is our country. We should regulate it the best way for us, not them.

I also have a daughter-in-law who is a legal immigrant. She for several years has been going through the endless paperwork and hassle mill of this bureaucracy which one encounters when you try to do it "legally". I have often told her she needs to sneak over the Mexican border and then enter illegally. At least that way she has a better chance of staying, getting all sorts of benefits - and it won't cost her all the money it now is costing - plus they won't keep threatening to deport her because of all their incompetent screwups!

Believe me, I am familiar with what is going on in the immigration scene and am first-hand aware of the laziness, fecklessness and downright incompetence which inhabits much of our immigration bureaucracy. It is not a government department of which I, as an American, am the least bit proud or confident.

our immigration bureaucracy. It is not a government department of which I, as an American, am the least bit proud or confident.

I'm going to agree with you but go one step farther.

Any govt. bureaucracy (education dept., commerce dept., amtrak, ,IRS, HHS, even defense and homeland security). There is not a government department of which I, as an American, am the least bit proud or confident.

It is the very nature of govt. to emphasis process and "fairness" over common sense and efficiency. Govt. is mediocre at best and outright corrupt at worst.

The funny thing is that VDARE has been saying the same thing for a long time. But had this been a VDARE article it would have been pulled and the user instantly banned.

Welcome to FReerepublic and thanks for bumping it.<0p> Maybe it's time to re ping a lot of people to read the article again as it is most relevant now with immigration at the front in congress and on the streets.
