What traditions are the author talking about? Ebonics, reparations, silly-assed kwanzaa? Getting into a university just because you're black? The author has a hard sell here.
I do agree with him - we have a deadly serious illegal immigration problem. Deporting ALL illegal aliens should be the number one priority of the governemnt, even ahead of taking care of iraq. Illegal aliens, most of which are mexicans, are taking FAR, FAR more than they produce. They get free medical care at the local hospital er. Their kids get free education. They get welfare. The state with the most of them, california, is the state that has the highest budget deficit. They take jobs that citizens should have, ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE CITIZENS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS IN A RECESSION!

Hey, why should Terry have to "deal with it", why should anyone have to "deal with it"?? This is a very serious problem that our government is neglecting. Are you saying that we are required to live with this problem? Since when? From your post I can see you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about what is taking place in our city of LA.
Translation: don't deal with it.
The reason why I say that is because Mr. Anderson is in fact dealing with it. He is recognizing the problem and advocating a solution -- ie, controlled and legal immigration. So when you say 'deal with it' you really mean that you don't like that solution -- or any solution, for that matter. What you want to do is muddy up the waters of the discussion so that nothing will get done.
Wonder where you were when the Germans invaded the Poles?
Where does THAT attitude come from? I agree with rdb-- "But one would think that Americans of all stripes would stand together on this issue." Where's the unity? This ain't about "It's happened to many groups, ethnic or otherwise, over the span of history", it's about preserving the state of the union. The kid couldn't get a job in his own durned American neighborhood because he didn't speak Spanish. What a load of bull. How would you like it if that happened to you? It's downright meanspirited to sit back and say "well you had it coming" just on account of the likes of the Rear-ends Jackson and Sharpton et al. This is everybody's problem, dudes and dudettes.
I have no problem with immigrants as long as they pay their taxes like the rest of all God's children. Okay, let me be excruciatingly explicit: I have no problem with Mexican immigrants per se. Illegals, deadbeats, criminals, welfare hustlers, and Persistent Non-Assimilaters (e.g., not bothering to learn English) is where I have a problem. We got enough of them already.
Anderson hasn't yet figured that out.
His "Vietnamese" example is disgusting. Vietnamese people have assimlated gratefully into American culture.
"Hispanic" illegals cannot and will not. Ever.
African-Americans are always victims.
White Americans are “oppressing” black people, therefore they deserve to be discriminated against through quotas, set-asides and AA.
Korean-Americans are “oppressing” black people, therefore they deserve to have their property destroyed, just like it happened during the OJ riots in LA.
Jewish Americans are “oppressing” black people, therefore they deserve vile verbal and physical attacks, such as Jesse Jackson calling NY “hymie town”, or the riot that let eight people dead at the behest of “Rev” Sharpton
Now it’s the Hispanic Americans' turn. This concern about "illegal" immigration would be valid if it was coming for a community known for law-abiding citizens.
Last time I checked, black people were a small minority in America but commit the majority of crimes in this country.
What about removing the rafter in your eye first?

How's about the time-honored tradition of not keeping friggin' chickens in yer front yard...
Very revealing. Still didn't answer my question, though.
Tis okay. I'm out.

And that's what I'm talking about. That is MY whole argument for tightening the border. I don't care if folks are brown green or purple-- like I said above, if they come in here the legal way and pay taxes and speak some form of English like all the rest of us, I got nothin' against 'em.
(Damn. I know exactly what I want to say, but the thoughts are moving alot faster than the actual word processing...)
It seems that some folks are trying to talk about a "black invasion", analogous to a "Mexican invasion". The latter concept is, quite frankly, valid in many cases. The former concept is, quite frankly, grotesquely ludicrous and does not deserve to be dwelt on. Thus, the idea that blacks are getting their "come-uppance" by being ousted from the number-one-minority spot, is severely flawed.
THUS--- Okay now I really did lose my train of thought... Somebody else take the soapbox...
I've become more interested in all this Latino pickle lately-- seeking employment in New Mexico, where I understand close to 50% of the population is Hispanic... Since about all the Spanish I remember is besemeculo, I reckon I best brush up a little... (On second thought, that may be about all I need...)
Dude, what's up YOUR ass...
We could do some company *profiling*. Start out with construction companies of any sort; highways, homes, buildings, etc. Just go through your local yellow pages and look at the larger companies. The INS could have a field day raiding any one of them.
Branch out to resturants, again just using the yellow pages. The larger chain restaurants certainly employ illegals. But you do have the problem of getting the INS to act. Afterall, the only thing of interest to them is bomb-making terrorists, and illegal Mexican and Central Americans don't usually fall into that group.
Everybody knows that there are millions of illegals all over the U.S., particularly in the southwestern states, and nothing has or is being done about it. We've switched to a bilingual society just to accomodate our illegal Mexicans. They don't need to learn English, we are rewarded in job opportunities for learning to speak Spanish. We have their wretched el Presidente Fox, telling us to be very nice to his people that are here ILLEGALLY and should have only the right of being repatriated back home. Viva La Reconquista! Ole!
