The last three comments are right on, and Larry, you are way off. I don’t understand why people use the Irish/Italian comparisons. Those folks speak the language and are 100% American, often in the military, never playing for or siding with their “native lands” in the socio-political theatre. People come to America for many reasons. America is the most tolerant, least racist, most gender and religious equitable place in the world, and always has been; the Mexicans in LA or the Dominicans in NYC know this.
Can you imagine a Saint Pattie’s Day parade where the “Irish” denonced America or acted as though Ireland was superior? Nope. What about an Italian living here 20 years but never learning English? Never happens.
Mexicans, like Muslims and some East Asian exchange students, stick with their former or “home” country first. Most Euro immigrants, having escaped the barbarism of Eurabia, do no such thing.
Lastly, as soon as folks like Larry call a piece bigoted, their views no longer hold credence to me.
And Charlie, dear lord, are you a lawyer? I’ve never seen such legal relativism in my life. I’m guessing you’re a late 20s/early 30s NYC or LA lawyer, secular, single, wealthy, loves Europe, etc. Am I wrong? Doubtful. So transparent with those views. Wake up, man, and stop lying.
