Assimulate = assimilate. My bad!
“La Raza” = “The Race”
“Do you have to like hamburgers more than grilled steak tacos?” Another stupid example.
Simple answer: Love America, and everything about America, more than Mehico.
It isn't a mental hangup. They deliberately misuse the language for propaganda purposes. Remember Orwell: War is Peace; Hate is Love.
The Guatemalan border is only 1/4 the size and ten times easier to defend topographically.
Yeah, I keep forgetting that.
This article is pure propaganda to make Americans more comfortable with a fifth column that seeks to overthrow the Anglo culture and impose their own.
New immigrants just need to assimilate. Period. None of this on their own terms stuff.
- Dr Agapito Lopez, Hazelton, PA. 7/14/2006
They don't learn the language , they don't follow our laws and like Lopez warned or threatened they will NEVER assimilate.
Maybe the illegals should just go home and they won’t have to assimilate at all. As for the rest, if they truly aren’t interested in becoming Americans, we can learn to get along without them as well — most of the world would give an arm for the chance to become Americans.
That's not assimilating.
Until they quit using this cheap-shot diversion, with its red-herring of cultural bigotry, there will be no resolution to the problems of security and sovereignty in America.
“The massive, unprecedented telephone campaign was sparked by a range of complex motives based on social and economic issues. Among them was a theme that promises to reappear if the issue is revisited: the perception that Latinos are too different to assimilate, do not learn English, and are unraveling the fabric of the identity of a nation that was, ironically, created by immigrants.
It is one of the ideas that anti-immigrant forces take advantage of: the notion that immigrants today do not assimilate and that other generations did. But it is not true, says Cecilia Muñoz of the National Council of La Raza.”
What a bunch of BS!!!
PC is killing our nation. I don’t give a rats ass for anyone who says they are Mexican American, Irish American.
That’s a big steaming load. If you were born here (illegal Alien anchor babies don’t count.) you are AN AMERICAN.
All of us have roots in some other country. Now that that’s out in the open let’s remember. We’re Americans. Why would anyone want to claim to be anything less.
As long as any product we can purchase in American stores continue to have bilingual labels... well, theres no reason for them to assimilate.
My father was Irish, my Mother is Mexican... both of them threatened me with a severe beating around the face and neck if they ever heard me refer to myself as anything other than American.
My mother never became naturalized but she understands the importance of the phrase: “When in Rome..”.
In other words the statement from the article:
“...Latinos are too different to assimilate, do not learn English, and are unraveling the fabric of the identity of a nation that was, ironically, created by immigrants.”
should read like this:
“...Illegal Aliens do not want to assimilate, do not want to learn English, and are unraveling the fabric of the identity of a nation that was, ironically, created by Legal immigrants.”
Funny how they are referred to as Latinos in the first part but immigrants at the end.
To all the MSM editors that continue to write drivel like this, please put the crack pipe down and admit yourself to rehab.
I’m pretty pissed and not thinking clearly, so I apologize if this doesn’t make sense or is poorly written.
Sorta says it all, doesn't it?
Does anyone want to live in Mexico? Do you know anyone who does?
Even the Mexicans don't want to live in Mexico. Better to come here and hand us the bill for their upgrade in lifestyle.
Now that is the definition of insanity.
You would instantly give Mexico electoral control over the United States and the American people as they would become the single largest voting block, and you would hand over the control of the military and nuclear arsenal of the United States to a group of people who are nothing but the most murderous thugs to ever inhabit the Western Hemisphere.
That is a pretty broad statement considering what passes for "American" culture in many areas of the U.S. nowadays
Your kids have much more in common with some first generation immigrant children:
Than they do with some third, fourth or fifth generation so-called "Anglos":
Ask the women in the hispanic family if the father has a few putas on the side. Ask them how he regards them as women - are they people or property? The news is full of hispanic males blowing away women who had the Anglo temerity to tell them to eff off.
How many Mexican guys bragged to me about the Blondina Gringa that they had on the side? (it always turned out to be some peroxide proxy, but it didn't matter to them....just the image did).
In Mexico, for instance, a woman who is not a virgin at marriage....well, she isn't going to be married. She's instantly just another puta. A lot of those women are the ones who come to the U.S., because they have no future in the ruthlessly hypocritical machismo "society" where the strutting male needs at least 3 or 4 putas to hang out with while the wifey stays at home and raises Los Ninos. And the more the better, once again to prove El Conquistador's marvelous manhood, even though he has no skills other than extortion and violence with which to feed his bambinos.
So save the silly photos. They don't show the regressive reality of that sick society.
Hispanic "family values" are a myth.
I'm no sociology expert, but it seems to me that the most innovative societies are ones where the children set out to build something for themselves and reduce their dependency on family. This is not to say that they don't love their family, but there is an expectation to put their God given talents to work to better themselves and build something lasting, even start a new family.
I have relatives who live in the southern part of Texas, Hildago county, just north of the border. Most of them have lived there their entire lives, and do not have a spirit of adventure to seek out the world. Close knit families are great, but they do increase the risk that your environment remains insulated.
The wonderful American tendency to pick up and move, in search of wealth, fame, or adventure is one of the things that makes this country great. Without Lewis and Clark, the homesteaders, the '49ers, those who sought to build the trans-continental railroad, and those who suffered hardship to even land on our shores by boat (legally), this country would look much different.
There was a thread recently that made an important observation. As I don't remember it verbatim, I'll paraphrase: A country's greatness is defined by it's people, not its resources, or borders. America is a great country because of great people.
This is NOT negotiable!
Well, you have a Mexican culture that has drug dealers taking over entire cities and cutting off heads. You have a Chinese culture that where manufacturers have no issues inserting known poisons into the food supply. Would we be better off if we had their youth culture, along with everything else that makes them the countries they are today? I don’t think so.
