[Van Jenerette]

Wattenberg also said America "is a wonderful place to live, because wonderful people live here," but there is "always some kind of nativist, anti-immigrant feeling." All immigrant groups "start out being hated," but one or two generations later, "they end up being assimilated into U.S. society." Today's "hate du jour" is toward Mexicans, even though the largest percentage of Medal of Honor winners are Mexican immigrants, he added.

This statement is NOT true. Out of the (+/-)4000 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients; 40 were of Latino descent.

Latino Congressional Medal of Honor Recipients

The site gives much needed recognition to these brave patriots who were Latino, and real. They should not be insulted by some false percentage claim for political reasons.

Thank you for the link.

I'm so sick of hearing anti immigrant! It's not anti immigrant, it's anti illegal alien! Sorry for yelling. It's so frustrating when they keep harping that if we are against the invasion of our country we're either Xenophobes or racists. I don't care if they're purple, if they're illegal, throw 'em out. When will they ever learn to distinguish between the two words legal and illegal?
