Buchanan puts American citizens before all others and they don't like that.

In fairness, Buchanan puts SOME American citizens before all others. A huge majority of 864,000 Koreans here that Buchanan termed the "the greatest invasion in history, an invasion opposed by a majority of our people" are now American citizens, yet he slaps them with a broad brush of racial hatred and lumps them in with Cho.

You have information about citizenship that I did not know about. All I read in the column was

"Cho was among the 864,000 Koreans here as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965, which threw the nation's doors open to the greatest invasion in history, an invasion opposed by a majority of our people. Thirty-six million, almost all from countries whose peoples have never fully assimilated in any Western country, now live in our midst."

I hope that Pat was not writing about that part of the 36 million that became citizens. I would disagree with him on those.

Koreans tend to be among the most benign immigrants this country has welcomed over the years, but even they can sometimes get mired in hot-button issues that go right to the heart of Buchanan's point.

Here in New Jersey there's been a long-running controversy in one heavily Korean town that has attempted to institute a requirement for English-language signs on all of the businesses in the town, most of which are owned by recent immigrants who don't seem all that interested in assimilating.
