It is likely that these people will be Hispanic. If this is the natural order of things, I can embrace it. In that sense, we haven't "lost" America, we've only gained better citizens.<br /><br />Lost on the radical elements (LULAC and La Raza) is the fact that they will never inherit America from outside mainstream society. Most Hispanics do not share these radical <i>reconquista</i> mindset.<br /><br />Again, BRAVO!Sam Huntingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780557316548397352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-87544832345713235292012-07-13T03:57:38.866-04:002012-07-13T03:57:38.866-04:00Thanks Average American.

Please notice I said "the best"...Hi, AOW,<br /><br />Please notice I said "the best" of the illegal immigrants.<br /><br />There are rotten elements and weaknesses in any group you can imagine,<br /><br />The point of this post, I hasten to add, is NOT to extoll illegal immigration <i>per se</i>, but to show respect for the courage, daring, hopefulness, and the eagerness to take whatever opportunities arise that might help better oneself.<br /><br />Sadly, we have come to <i>expect</i> and <i>demand</i> too darned <i>much</i>. We want a soft easy life <i>given</i> to us just by dint of our ever having been <i>born.</i><br /><br />We claim the soft, easy life as a "right" now. THIS is why we've hit the skids.<br /><br />I blame the false ideals and seductive appeals to jealousy, spitefulness and greed inherent in all varieties of the Marxian creeds for our decline.<br /><br />The "illegals" have not been hampered with these degenerate expectations -- except in California where the cancer of liberalism has rendered the state virtually moribund.<br /><br />The undesirable behaviors you describe are apt to be found in any cross section of mankind. We may notice them more in "elements" whose physical attributes make them appear anomalous, and tend to brush them off with an "Oh well, boys will be boys" when they appear in people of our own, more familiar kind.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts as always.<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-29601048295380029552012-07-12T09:06:40.659-04:002012-07-12T09:06:40.659-04:00Well-said.

I understand AOW's point also, and it is not necessarily contradictory.<br /><br />I too think importing inbred Muslims is a bad idea, and much of the pathologies we see in the Hispanic community is caused by our progressive government. They are an entrepreneurial people who know how to make it without a safety net, but our nanny statists bring them in, coddle them, give them bennies and teach them how to play the victim game.<br /><br />What they are more fit for is to allow them to open a business without jumping through 500 fiery bureaucratic hoops, which is why many of their businesses you see are clandestine.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-55813048974502038722012-07-12T08:10:16.662-04:002012-07-12T08:10:16.662-04:00FT,

Not too close, thank God.<br /><br />The other problem that I have with immigrants isn't really their fault: the impact on public education, particularly for ESL classes (a failure overall) and special ed classes of the hopeless type. <br /><br />For example, the influx of Arabs here has overwhelmed special ed classes in a terrible way: "basket cases," no doubt the result of hundreds of years of close inbreeding. It's bad in every way, and these "students" have to be warehoused until age 18 or 21 -- I can't recall which.<br /><br />Many Latinos have no respect or interest in education. This is not true of all, but certainly of many. They often become disruptive in the classroom and in the hallways. I was once called up on (1976?) to break up a fight between two Cuban boys who were <b>WIELDING STRAIGHT RAZORS</b>! They were fighting over "chica."<br /><br />You already know about my personal experience with a cab driver who was an illegal immigrant. At least he had auto insurance! Not that I got anything to speak of in the settlement as this is a sanctuary city.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
