"Alberto Gonzales is an American, born in America. How can he be Mexican?"
I have nothing against Gonzales, except his pro-abortion stand. If he follows the U.S. Constitution he's okay by me (he's light years better than Janet Reno, who was a Marxist troglodyte). I do have a problem with Americans of Mexican ancestry who consider themselves Mexicans and not Americans. Just like I don't care for Americans of German ancestry who see themselves as Germans, not Americans, etc. As far as I'm concerned, if someone has to hyphenate their nationality, such as calling themselves Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Italian-Americans, etc., they are not true Americans, because they place "qualifiers" on their nationality. As far as I know, Gonzalez sees himself as an American. If he trumpets that he is a "Mexican-American" then I will have a problem with him.

No such thing.
He handed down a strict constructionist judgement on a Texas law which allows for a judicial bypass of the parental notification requirement.
If you can find any decisions supporting abortion other than Jane Doe 5 by Gonzales, please link me to them.

Others are calling him Mexican, he's not.
