Because many of them have been here virtually their entire lives, living in a mexican culture with mexican flags, listening to mexican radio and TV. We've done a lousy job of assimilation, and we're paying the price.
I was referring to the photo that was in the post I replied too.
If you look at it closely, you will see what we were talking about.
>I do not support blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants.<
Yeah, it has to be some kind of backdoor amnesty with a "promise" of enforcement attached.
I'm sick of promises.
My grandson, a kid, who saw those pictures was EQUALLY angry. And I mean angry.
the vast majority do want to live the American Dream...
It's the American laws that they find annoying...
Right on. Plus if it was not for the xenophobic former governor of California, Pete Wilson, California would be a red state and a Democrat would have no shot at winning a national election.
I woudln't doubt that at all, given the teachers who 'teach" today in the modern American public school system, like that goofball geography teacher in Colorado.
Too many of your pro business "conservatives" do not have any idea about history. It took two generations plus immigration being cut down dramatically for 50 years to have full assimilation, and it was in the days before the welfare state and multi culturalism. I say this needs to be stopped now, and all attempts to reverse this madness need to be made.
As for good Catholic familes, just go though any barrio, and you will see they are hardly bastions of family values. Church attendence among Latinos is around 15%, and of that 15%, many are spoon fed Liberation Theology.
Narby, like other "conservatives" of your ilk, your ideas are not just wrong, they are dangerous.
That a boy.
Knee jerk reaction to another country's flag flying above Old Glory, which, btw, is hung upside down.
You write English pretty well for a Mexican sympathizer.
Yeah. They're mad. We've been in their face telling them to leave the home they've lived in for decades because they're on the wrong side of some line on a map.
If faced with being forced out of your home, vs. rising up with a few million of your neighbors, what would you do?
And I bet you that some liberal teachers in that school egged them on, or do you disagree with that.
No kidding!
Maybe the Navy will eventually have to relocate their SpecOps training base.
Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. California was part of the mexican lands at that time.
Some Californians declared an independent California Republic June 10, 1846 but these forces joined the US, in war with Mexico. The war ended January 1847 and in 1850 California became a state.
In total California was part of Mexico for 25 years (1846 minus 1821).
That is all they can claim, with any historical facts.
"Plan B is assimilation"
THEY DON'T WANT TO ASSIMILATE.
This Philippine-born naturalized citizen AMERICAN is SO mad!!!
As bad as the other pictures are, none of them got me as mad as these idiots taking down the US flag and replacing it with a Mexican flag!
My parents did not bring their kids 34 years ago for a better life in Mexico - they brought us to the UNITED STATES, which was the greatest gift they gave us after bringing us into the world and loving us.
I am absolutely livid!!!
Blue State Insurgent: Very true. I believe that the Tajanos especially despised the rule of Mexico City and the central government there, so far away.
that would make them 158 years old.
Rakkasan1: ROTFLMAO
I don't disagree with that at all, Dane.
