Who We Are, Here and There

snip...

That's the point to remember as you watch the "National Guard" of the so-called global hyperpower try to re-establish its sovereignty in Paramount, California. When I wrote the above at the dawn of the century, the city was 72 per cent Hispanic. Now it is 82.3 per cent. Over 36 per cent of the population is foreign-born.

Which is not normal, outside of conquest in war or colonisation.

As Democrats are wont to say when one proposes deporting an MS-13 rapist, "That's not who we are." Which at least appears to acknowledge that "who we are" is a topic of some significance.

Most of the bigshots of America's largely useless "conservative movement" have spent the intervening two decades arguing that Hispanics are "natural conservatives". As I said a mere thirteen years ago:

Only 27 percent of Hispanics voted for Romney. But all that could change if the GOP were to sign on to support some means of legalizing the presence of the 12-20 million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community who are allegedly "social conservatives" and thus natural Republican voters. Once we pass amnesty, argues Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, "future immigrants will be more open to the Republican Party because, unlike many immigrants who are already here, they won't have been harmed or insulted by Republican politicians."

So, if I follow correctly, instead of getting 27 percent of the 10 percent Hispanic vote, Republicans will get, oh, 38 percent of the 25 percent Hispanic vote, and sweep to victory.

So how's that going on the streets of California?

“They wave the Mexican flag because your flag means nothing to them, your anthem means nothing to them, your constitution means nothing to them. They don’t need any of it, because they’re already here.”

The mass movement of Mexicans mostly to Southern California and other southwestern US states has nothing to do with a desire for a better life. It is all about reconquista. They come here to colonize lands they believe (incorrectly) once belonged to Mexico.

Don’t blame the Mexicans for walking in.

The blame is ours for leaving the door wide open.

One of the biggest leftist lies is the notion that immigrants from every corner of the world would morph and become just like us, once they get a chance to live on our soil.
Regardless of thousands of years of savage habits and traditions.
We can finally put that on the Debunked list.

Would be interesting to know where in CA these units came from. The Cal. ARNG is pretty hispanic in certain units, and has had problems with gang member infiltration.
