Well it turns out that she was originally from Texas. She told me that she was of Mexican extraction but she insisted that she was really of Spanish heritage. She said that her family had been living in Texas since the mid 1600s, and she has documents of members of her family verifying that they were born in the Republic of Texas.
I inquired if she had ever read Texas by James Michener. She had not, so I told her about the early part of the book where different persons were collected together in order to devise a sort of more personal testament to the History of Texas. If you have read that work you might understand the point.
Anyhow, this very pleasant Lady spoke for a bit and it turns out that is extremely well educated, far beyond any level that I have attained. She is published in Scientific Journals, and has Peer Reviewed Papers which are still being used for sourcing, though I neglected to ask just how long ago she wrote these things.
Anyhow, she said that the people of Mexican ‘heritage’ who are long standing citizens are not at all appreciative of the invasion from south of the border. We discussed illegal Irish Immigrants here in the Boston area and a few other things. It turns out that this woman and I were in accord on very much.
We likely might have talked for hours but she had an appointment. It was a delightful discussion and I do expect to have another with her.
Point is I suppose that one cannot evaluate the character of a person simply because of their family lineage or cultural background.
This matches my observations.
The Mexicans who have been here for many generations are far less accepting of illegals than most whites. A friend in high school was from a family that has lived here for nearly 200 years. His father was a fan of Ludwig Von Mises.
