What you describe is not only "not good," it is totally intolerable. See the traditional definition of a nation--as understood by the Founding Fathers, and men of reason and historic perspective, ever since: Immigration & The American Future.

We need to understand that a nation is not about geography--although most nations of the earth have strong sentimental, as well as legal claims, to geography. A nation is about a people who have a sense of their own common heritage, experience and values. It is about kith and kin, and the geography comes in when people think about the "Land where my fathers died," as in the patriotic song.

In this reality, the individual immigrant who comes over from a foreign land and seeks acceptance into the nation, is obviously no threat. If there is room, and he is seen as acceptable, there is no reason not to accord him--after a time to prove himself--the rights of citizenship.

But the idea of a wave of foreigners, coming not accepting and seeking acceptance, but seeking what wealth and benefits they may acquire for themselves, becoming citizens, is intolerable to those who wish to preserve their own nation. Slandering these latter, as "Nativists" or "xenophobic," will not change the fact that what they advocate is in accordance with all past human understanding. Their slanderers are not statesmen, are not enlightened, and--above all else--are not loyal to their own people.

I agree, it is intolerable, especially in the light that their stated goal is to take back the land. Atzlan...Texas, California, in other words, the southwest.

The sad part is, they are doing it, right under our collective noses, and the politicians, save one, do nothing.
