What a load of crap.

There are the nativists who are frightened over how Latinos affect the culture and who have taken it on as their crusade to reverse that trend.

That's me. There are numerous Hispanic nations with "Latino culture". But that ain't enough for the ethnic hustlers. They want to make broad swaths of America into Hispanic enclaves. Already you are at a disadvantage for employment in some jobs if you don't speak Spanish

Of course it's a problem to legalize, with just the stroke of a pen, criminal border crossers. This isn't only a problem of paper work. This is about handing over 13 million votes to people who elected an openly socialist mayor of Mexico City. It isn't racist to be concerned about the future of our country.

But if it's the fear that Anglo-Saxon culture and the English language are being eroded by Spanish-speaking foreigners, and that the country is going down the tubes because of it -- then ...

Yes.

It's about assimilation, stupid.

The white population of America is plummeting in a way that would be called a form of genocide if it happened to any other people.

There are the nativists who are frightened over how Latinos affect the culture

They will negatively effect the culture and the natives have a right to be concerned. Immigration is a zero sum game, it must be at the expense of the natives and dismissing their concerns is a form of racism, of declaring them to be subhuman without the rights granted to every other group on the planet.

Navarrette supports immigration for only one reason: because it benefits hispanics. His support is purely racist. He is robbing us of our culture, land and political power, it is at our expense. Remember, the Poles sitting at home minding their own business weren't racists, it was the Nazis pouring over the border who were the racists.

"The Hutchison-Pence plan forces the anti-amnesty crowd to level finally with the rest of us about what really bothers them. If it is that people are here illegally, or that the border isn't secure, then the plan has that covered

It rewards illegal behavior by legalizing illegals with little effort. So we will get more illegal behavior as a result. Nothing racist about that, except for Navarrette's playing of the race card.
