Yah, so what?

America is a lot more of a mindset then it is a place. There isn't anything particularly special about the planes of Nebraska, the deserts of Arizona, the mountains of Colorado, or the swamps of Florida. There are equivilant locations in other places.

What's unique about America is our system of government, or belief in the importance of the individual, and the fact that we are not an ancient line of heirarchy, but a melting pot.

Even if Tancredo is right, and America is just a place, then why is it worth 'protecting' from those Mexicans he's so afraid of? What's so special about it that we must keep it 'pure' as he sees it?

If the US borders are erased, all America (Anglo and Latin) get merged and all the world gets invited in, will the Americas and world become like USA or will USA become like the rest?

Again?

Exactly. My position is unpopular here but I came to it after listening to Mark Steyn describe the population rate in Europe and how it will lead to a Muslim majority in a few decades. Made me think about OUR population rates here.

White-non-Hispanic-1.9- SHARP DECREASE African American-2.3- SAME White-Hispanic-3.4-INCREASE

Whether anyone here wants to face it or not the majority of people in this country very soon will be either Latino or African American. CAUCASIANS AREN"T BREEDING and will soon go the way of the panda or some other endangered species. Bringing in the Mexican labor force ensures the US's population growth and also ensures a Christian majority as Latinos are still very faith-based people. Add to that their strong work ethic and this government would be stupid to send them away. Our country is depending on them in a future with billions of Chinese and Indians to keep up our population and contribute to this country's economy well after we are all long gone.

He never said that, he said that President Bush believes that.

then why is it worth 'protecting' from those Mexicans he's so afraid of? What's so special about it that we must keep it 'pure' as he sees it?

Because he believes we have borders defining our federation of states, where in a government was established for the people by the people.

Want to give us a little history on how well that has worked out for you in Mexico?
