It is not necessary to disparage the Mexican people, who are entitled to pursue their own cultural values in their own lands, to understand that rooted Americans have absolutely the same right: To preserve the ethnic heritage of the Founding Fathers in America. Incidentally, that heritage was once a magnet that drew like minded people to America, prior to the policies of betrayal from FDR, through LBJ, Clinton & Obama, which have completely corrupted the images of American culture, drawing a vastly different type of immigrant, now pouring over our borders.

The myth of contemporary American dependence of ever more immigrants into our ever more crowded population centers, reflects a lack of in depth analysis of such things as what is involved in the very concept of a community; what has always been the defining quality of a nation; what actually makes for a contented society, able to address problems in a constructive manner, and build a better future. (It is certainly not about "diversity," in the insulting way that the Left uses the term.)

The Mexican President & California Governor are prattling the same silly--and very destructive--nonsense, as that offered by George W. Bush in 2006. (See Reply To President Bush on Immigration.)

As pointed out, Thomas Jefferson recognized the profound cultural differences between American Society & the Hispanic societies to the South, and purchased Louisiana, precisely for the purpose of providing the original States with a buffer. It should outrage all of us, that none of this generation's American "leaders," will even discuss the question from a standpoint of preserving our heritage.

Gov. Jerry Brown does not have the brains to even be trusted with Jefferson's brief case. This whole photo op is a travesty.
