I'm Mexican and Buchanan is pretty much dead on about this. Too bad he's anti-semitic.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

could you elaborate. Is this La Raza, and Reconquista movement really getting traction in the southwest? I know the immigration marches were massive and well orchestrated, but I thought is was more frustration with America and illegal status than an attempt to seize power. Also, I think Mexicans have their own agenda and culture and that this is not some racial "hispanic" thing. Spanish speaking people are very culturally diverse and don't act or think as one "nationality".

My family was one of the ones who received a Spanish Land Grant in Texas, before it was Texas. I am an American, through and through. The majority of Mexican Americans are not enamored with the illegals who flow through the border as if it were Swiss Cheese.

La Raza and Reconquista are commie backed organizations. What part of "illegal" do people not understand? I lived for some time in Arizona and was appalled that Senator McCain did nothing to address the hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring in from Mexico into Arizona.

We love our country. We are for the most part law abiding tax paying citizens.

I support Bush on his war on terror but see that he also is unwilling to address this issue.

Why?

There was a big hoopla when our government said it would start to build a wall. A few weeks ago it was barely mentioned that Congress voted down the money.

They got the initial press that they were finally going to do something then silently voted it down.

Yeah, I agree wih you about him being dead-on. Don't know if he is anti-semitic or not though.

At any rate, his prediction that the west is going the way of previous civilizations I tend to agree with unless action is taken quickly.

In fact, my biggest concern is not from those outside of the U.S. as much as it is with inside the U.S. As an example, I was listening to Sean Hannity interview House of Representative Carolyn Kilpatrick from Michigan about a week ago and he was ripping her pretty good because she had refused to vote for a bill condemning radical Islamist terrorists acts. After much debate back and forth, she finally stated, "Sean, I am just voting my constituency". btw, her district has the largest Muslim population in the U.S. I believe. So, my point and concern is that Muslims in the U.S. are aware of the power of block voting, hence they tend to live in enclaves so that they will have the power of their numbers in both local and federal elections. Although, these Muslims represent probably only around one or two percent our population, most elections now days are decided by very thin margins and if these people have two or three congressmen or senators dependent upon their vote for reelection, then these congressmen and senators can as a block themselves, influence many pieces of legislation to go their way.
