A totally and completly ignorant statement. Those boys, (Hispanic illegals) are not as American as anybody could be. They are mostly mexican, they see themselves only as mexicans, or salvadorans, etc. Hate this country(love the milk, hate the cow) and it's laws, history, symbols; they like the gringo's money but despise the "gringo".
Wearing the same clothes, playing the same video games, etc. as our kids, does not make them American(U.S.).
Have you ever bothered to see the statistics about the high percentage of crime, rape, identity theft, killed American citizens, hospitals and clinics going broke; over crowed schools, and busted budgets, all because of the nice "Hispanic sounding names "?
And last, before you throw the racist card at me; I am a proud American citizen, so-called hispanic.
“I am a proud American citizen, so-called hispanic”
- I’m not Hispanic myself and neither am I an American, but just like anyone who’s understood what people like Leonardo da Vinci and Pico della Mirandola were trying to communicate some 500 years ago during the Renaissance, I hold these words (of the very same Pico della Mirandola) to be great truths:
``We have given you, O Adam, no visage proper to yourself, nor endowment properly your own, in order that whatever place, whatever form, whatever gifts you may, with premeditation, select, these same you may have and possess through your own judgement and decision. The nature of all other creatures is defined and restricted within laws which We have laid down; you, by contrast, impeded by no such restrictions, may, by your own free will, to whose custody We have assigned you, trace for yourself the lineaments of your own nature. I have placed you at the very center of the world, so that from that vantage point you may with greater ease glance round about you on all that the world contains. We have made you a creature neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal, in order that you may, as the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the form you may prefer. It will be in your power to descend to the lower, brutish forms of life; you will be able, through your own decision, to rise again to the superior orders whose life is divine.’’
These divine words of insight is the true foundation of everything of positive nature that sprung forth from the great marvel of the Florentine Renaissance and today, all of us who believe in a new birth of civilization must unite and pledge them our wholehearted support instead of squabbling around on the Internet and elsewhere like little children.
My nephew has one of those Hispanic sounding names too. He did his time in Iraq just like a lot of others and he volunteered to do it.
He didn’t need to do it for any other reason than his belief in America. He didn’t need to do it for citizenship or anything else. He did it because he saw what happened on 9/11 and he is a patriot.
You won’t find a whole lot of gang bangers and gringo haters in the military.
