Maybe we should ask the Hispanic Caucus for comment or LaRaza or...

We can fight this pretending that race/ethnicity is not factor.

Look at the history of Latin America for a look at what’s coming.

Faith in a strongman dictatorship.
Economic and political classes based on ethnic ancestry
Socialist economic and social laws
Massive corruption
Disregard for rule of law

As many of these already have a foothold here, the US becoming Argentina and then El Salvador is not much of a stretch.

Yeah! Go Brown Power!

one might ask just why don’t these Mexicans return to their home country and force reforms there?

Because they came here not to better their lives, but to ultimately create an anschluess of the American Southwest and whichever else they can grab to Mexico.

There may be second generation Mex-Americans who support
unification with Mexico because they have been exposed
to American liberal education and have no idea how rotten
and corrupt Mexico really is. And, there may be politicians
and leaders in Mexico who think by overwhelming the SW US
with poor Mexicans they can force the issue eventually.
But among the masses of illegal aliens there is no
conspiracy to turn the Southwestern US into “Alta Mexico”.
Anyone who would believe that these farm and factory workers
are sophisticated enough to actively involve themselves in
such a conspiracy will believe anything. There is enough
genuine bullsh!t going on to occupy our thoughts and efforts.

I haven’t heard much organized outrage from specific Latino groups, but those who do complain are more likely integrated with the groups you would expect would protest.

I wouldn’t want them to feel like they have to identify themselves as Latino to protest the point. It would not make the complaint any more legitimate. The left has to do it because they are always in desperate need for an ounce of credibility.

They wouldn’t have to organize themselves into such a movement, but they would follow — en masse — a charismatic type who could generate enthusiasm for it. They don’t think in the individual sense.... rather they think in the collective.

Theoretically, you have a “maybe” point but the problem children
are the second & third generation Mexican-American college
educated community organizers and their liberal professors when it
comes to the issue of unification with Mexico. In fact, those who
cross the border are pretty damn pro-American compared to those
2nd -3d generation corrupted by liberal education.

Do you know any of the people you speak of? I do, I live in
California.
