I know you are right.

My house and church were completely destroyed from Frances and Jeanne. The only and I mean ONLY consruction sub-contractors were mexican. And their work is absolute junk.

They don't want to assimilate because they don't HAVE to assimilate. Why would they? Almost everything is available in Spanish: radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, ballots, driver's license tests, credit card customer service, instructions in every package, ATMs, etc., etc.

Why is it that people from non-Spanish speaking countries assimilate faster? Maybe it's because they aren't being coddled? Not everything is handed to them?

My husband is a 3rd generation Mexican-American. He hates that term because he considers himself an American who happens to be of Mexican ethnicity. He doesn't speak any Spanish and served in the our military. He is a conservative. He gets very angry when someone asks him "Do you speak English?" (Surprisingly, that has never happened to him in the 10 years we've lived in AZ - only when we were still living in California). There are others like my husband. You just don't hear from them that often because like other conservatives, he's busy working and providing for his family.

SANTA ANA: A police officer breaks from his ranks to pursue a protester on Civic Center Drive on Monday, hitting the man in the leg with his baton. The officer had been part of several dozen officers forcing protesters west along Civic Center Drive away from downtown Santa Ana. Thousands of students from most Santa Ana high schools left campus to march in protest over pending legislation in Congress that they feel is prejudicial to those of Mexican descent.

A lone protester defies an order to disperse on Civic Center Drive near Bristol Street. He soon fled in the face of dozens of police officers from various agencies tightly marching down the street.

Oh My God. This country is heading for either civil war, or surrender.

That's how I see it, too.

You and I, and many others, have been trying to open people's eyes about this.

All the arguments about costs, social changes, etc., aside, it is an insufferable violation of National Security in a time of war.

It's not just the Mexican, Central, and South American gangs infiltrating- we have Muslims, and Chinese, too.

You know my boilerplate post:

But it gets worse- this old post has some related info in it:

I totally agree public schools preach anti-Americanism. The thing is, the La Raza culture is already there to absorb it. Public schools aren't the initial cause.

Huh I bet you the LA Catholic schools are overwhelmingly hispanic and you don't see the "La Raza" culture or demonstartions coming from them.

I disagree I beleive the liberal infested public schools are a major part of the cause.

[narby]

You keep saying they aren't going away. You keep saying we can't deport them. Do you have ANY kind of evidence of any of this?

History.

And a bit of logic that when the TV images of mass, and I mean MASS deportations, hit the tube, it will sway enough fence sitters that it's inhumane that they will no longer support it.

Mass deportation would be portrayed as equivalent to what the Nazis did, just without the gas ovens. And enough people would agree with that portrayal that it would end.

Yes we "could" deport 10 million people. I just predict that it will not happen, like it's not happened in the last 30 years of this debate.

[CowboyJay]

"Greyhound doesn't have enough buses for 10 million people, even if they *wanted* to get on them. Think people. Think."

HR 4437 allows felony prosecution for those hiring illegals. They'll self-deport in no time flat when no one is willing to risk jail time for hiring them.

WAKE UP! One of those pictures showed an American Flag being flown beneath a Mexican rag at A TAX FUNDED PUBLIC BULDING.

Marisa Venegas and four other students at Valencia High school were arrested after they staged a pro-immigrant demonstration through the streets of Placentia this morning. Some of the students were arrested for trespassing and others for rowdy behavior, according to Liliana Venegas, an aunt of a student.

[CowboyJay]

Ah. So you would like the US government to be taking marching orders from the Vatican?

[PRND21]

I beleive the liberal infested public schools are a major part of the cause.

Exactly, and where's my voucher?

[narby]

It was generally understood that assimilation was the immigrants' responsibility.

But we supplied the public schools, and emphasized English heavily.

Yes, the PC people have foisted the miss-named "bi-lingual" education on us. But there has been some success to change that, because even the mexican families want their kids to learn english.

Our biggest battle is against liberalism, not against illegal mexicans.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Whats funny is its not their homeland historically. It is the native americans homeland if we want to get technical. The aztex(mexican descendants)lived much further south in what is now called MEXICO.The migration north started after the Spanish(who were white europeans) conqured the aztex with Cortez. This is the reason you see cities like the name san francisco, and los angeles,etc. After the spanish conqured the aztexs and bred with their women then the true mexicans were born, which eventually learned spanish from their european masters. Sorry no dice on the arguement on aztlan it never existed and never will. The mexicans should be pissed at spain,not the US. These people need to learn real history not anti-US propaganda.

[narby]

Nothing is impossible, all that is needed is the will to do so.

You're right. We CAN assimilate these people, unlike what the liberals want.

[CowboyJay]

"We need to crank up the assimilation machine that took in far more Italian, German and other immigrants back in the day when the US had no immigration quota whatever."

We have never seen rates of legal immigration that compare to the current rate of ILLEGAL immigration. By conservative estimates, the current rate is over 1 million per year.

[RFT1]

Actually if the US too marching orders from the Vatican, the first thing to go would be "free" trade, somthing that I think the Open Border lobby would not care for.

Need to buy more ammo.

Wonder if 'Cheaper Than Dirt' has had a spike in ammo sales over the past few days?

[mom3boys]

I can't imagine what you feel like...you go through the appropriate channels, abide by the law; then watch everything you worked so hard to achieve handed to criminals on a silver platter.

I was just a kid, but I remember in the Philippines waiting for hours at immigration offices, being interviewed, getting a physical, chest x-rays, and what seemed like dozens of shots (I'm sure it wasn't dozens, but when you're a kid, getting 2 or 3 would seem like dozens).  My parents, who came to the US 2 years before we did had to sign a legal affidavit of support.

I remember being SO excited because I was going to come to the states and become an American!

[Bull Market]

Catholic schools may be a majority of hispanics, but what percentage is that compared to public school hispanics? A sliver, I'm sure.

And what makes you think they couldn't be La Raza anyway? All you're saying is the catholic schools do a better job keeping a lid on things. Not every kid who goes to a catholic school actually lives by catholic values.
