I have mostly Norwegian ancestry with Irish, German and Lebanese mixed in. I do not carry their flag and I do not speak their language. I actually have no ties to them emotionally or any other way. I see myself as an American and only an American. I am not Anglo as many "Latinos" have tried to label me., I am an American. I have my own culture and language and am quite different from Europeans, Africans,Asians and South Americans. Americans whose people came from Africa, Asia, Europe or South America, if they are really Americans and not in name only, would have no allegiance to the peoples or the lands of their ancestors except as it relates to the US's relations to them.Why would I, as an American with no ties to anyone but Americans, trust you or those like you to not side with "Latino" over American interest. The truth is I can't. The other truth is that Whites, blacks, Asians and legal immigrants of non Hispanic decent agree with me and not you. I also have a hunch you might throw a fit if these illegals were Russian, you know what? so would I.
That is not true now to some new immigrants who have been sucked into the liberal victim mentality, but not all of them as the liberals would have you think with their demonstartions.
JMO, the majority of immigrants wish to assimilate, such as when the referendum in California to promote English immersion passed by a wide margin a few years back, but you see the pictures of the demonstrations and react.
The left knows how to play conservatives like a fiddle and these well organized and media savvy demonstrations have given the left the "reaction" they expect from conservatives and their hope to split people apart, the calling card of the modern left.
Hell, you couldn't carry that many flags if you tried.
"Why would I, as an American with no ties to anyone but Americans, trust you or those like you to not side with "Latino" over American interest. The truth is I can't."
I can't help what your prejudices make you do, that's YOUR problem, not mine. You see, you have already drawn a conclusion about me based solely on my obvious ethnicity, and you ASSume that I would side with some group of people loosely defined as "Latinos" on the issue of immigration, you are wrong.
I am an immigrant who speaks English better than a large number of native-born citizens, I became a citizen on July 4th 1976, I am a broken glass Republican, and a GOP activist.
I've assimilated.
You, on the other hand, have not assimilated me, and that's YOUR problem, not mine.
