So in this context a "nativist" is someone who prefers American society to Mexican society? I guess I'm a "nativist" then. But aren't all of the Mexicans who want to move here "nativists" too, then?
That is the crux of the issue:
We have accepted more immigrants than any other country, and, Yes, it is because a specific set of beliefs was imported to the 'new world' and proved to be far, FAR, more successful than the tribal systems that faced it's presence.
THE issue is not immigration but illegal immigration of a single socio/political wave that has absolutely NO intention of incorporating into the existing society.
The insane basis for this entire movement, apart from ill founded racism and ignorant fetishes about mythology, is that all the goodies will be here after they've superseded the Anglo-Saxon, common law, systems that were here before PC demanded that the rest of us, anglo/semetic/asian/etc. hand over the keys.
They, including the elites of both countries, want to see increased mexican (it ain't "latin america") culture (nativism) while keeping (overlaid) American rewards.
It's the SYSTEM:
First of all the laws ("illegal" has a definition)
Second, the equal application of those laws ("amnesty" only for border crossers - or should we let the "victimless" drug dealers and "consensual" child rapists out as well?)
Third, belief that self defense is legitimate (our system, economy, government, and our physical well being are all under attack - invasion - and we've the RIGHT to defend against it.)
