“For Slovenian, press one: for Polish, press two, for Italian, press three.”
Now they come for the money and soon the free healthcare.
One of the great benefits of multilingual education and multilingual ballots. vote for what freebie you want next year.
If you get a chance to fly out of El Paso to Ontario or Phoenix, sit by the window and look down when the airplane banks out over Jauarez. The slum shacks you see down below is what Mexico wants to bring to us. The influx of Mexicans is not about improving anything in the US, it is about converting the US into Mexico. Therein lies the problem.
Hasn’t anyone ever heard of REQONQUISTA?

Welcome to Reconquista
By Michelle Malkin • March 27, 2006 09:42 AM ***scroll for updates…Bush warns against stoking anti-immigrant feelings. Wants a “civil debate.” Video here…Ok. Tell that to the divisive militants below…***
As Mickey Kaus points out, the reporters at the Los Angeles Times (and all other major media, for that matter) have downplayed the radical ethnic separatism that characterized the pro-illegal immigration rallies over the weekend. While the Times misleadingly asserted that the Los Angeles rally “featured more American flags than those from any other country,” its reporters conveniently ignored marchers with extremist signs and banners advocating America-undermining concepts of reconquista and Aztlan:
Hispanic immigrants (both legal and illegal) are here in such large numbers that most don't feel the need to assimilate. Plus there's a pervasive attitude among them that they're merely reclaiming land that's rightfully theirs. ...which of course further discourages assimilation.
My theory is that the group was so large that it formed its own society and as Quebec is so close, there was a constant and continuing connection with the old country...sort of like with the Mexicans. The Irish, Greeks, Poles, Jews etc didn't have that. I can say, however, that for recent immigrants from just about anywhere avoiding assimilation and staying connected to the old country is a snap with satellite TV and the internet.
You mean among “some” (or “most”) of them. Reconquista doesn’t really apply to Chicago, for example (although advocates on that side try to make it apply).
Even the later European immigrants moved this country left and led to where we are today.
The immigration from 1840 to 1920 doomed America and created the path to a future that the original American people would never have accepted and have always voted against.
How so? This article appears to argue otherwise.
And you can add to your theory the fact that the government of Mexico encourages illegal migration to the US as a major part of its economic policy. Those in the US are still considered Mexican, and are encouraged to maintain ties with Mexico, to behave as dual citizens.
Mexico wants it excess population to enter the US illegally, to get rid of it and avoid a revolt among those who found no real opportunity in Mexico.
The reason that they're not assimilating (and entering the societal mainstream and prospering) is because, thanks to "social scientists" and "do-gooders" on the left, they don't have to! When my great grandparents (on my father's side) and grandparents (on my mother's side) arrived in the USA, they HAD to enter society! They had to learn to speak English, and other than family and religious assistance, they had to make it on their own. There were no "social programs" for them. They were forced to help themselves. By making things "easier" for immigrants, like allowing them to fill out government assistance forms in their native languages, we ensure that these immigrants will be on the public dole for generations, and that those generations will not be able to speak, read, or write English, ensuring that they become, and their decedents remain, an underclass.
Mark
My parents both went on to be successful American citizens. Their children went also went on to be successful. My Grandparents taught themselves English and encouraged their children to blend in because they were official U.S. natural born citizens. UNLIKE Obummer.
As a public school teacher who once taught in a inner city school, I would often hear some Mexican students refer to this country as really belonging to MEXICO. I would try to explain to them the history, but they would have none of it and continue their non-assimilation. My guess is their opposition is permanent.
This is sad for our country. It may in fact one day resemble Mexico.
Settle down.
One major difference not noted in the study is past waves of legal immigrants had no access to a welfare trough. It was succeed or head back to where you came from.
A pretty good stimulus program, imo.
Invaders do not have that stick to worry about these days. All they see is the carrots.
I simply asked him what tribe he represented, Miami, Illini, Shawnee, Dakota Sioux, or some other. Shut him right up . . . and I had the Brooks Brothers crowd winking at me the rest of the way.
The story is always written that way, start searching for where the vote for the left’s agenda was coming from and you will see that the later Europeans were liberals and from the beginning started reshaping America to their more European ideas.
Roosevelt (New Deal) and Johnson (Great Society) were European immigrants? C’mon.
There is an identifiable group of a third of Hispanic voters that voted 56% for republicans in 2004 and voted 48% republican in 2008. That group seems to be assimilating.
WHere this article goes wrong is using the term “Hispanic” when it clearly means “Mexican”. THere is no such thing as “HIspanic”. The nations of Latin America are quite different ethnically, culturally and politically — the the only thing they have in common is the Spanish language and the legacy of anti-democratic Spanish colonialism.
