Better, Ruben. Better. But still tainted with your ethnocentricity.

What’s wrong with declaring a national language? Effective communication is the key to progress.

What’s wrong with protecting our culture through assimilation? We do not want to lose our history or our heritage.

What’s wrong with protecting our borders in an effort to keep terrorists out of our country? National security and the defense of the “American” way of life and the rule of law should come before any person that enters this country illegally.

If the (illegal) immigration debate has a decidedly anti-Hispanic flavor, perhaps it’s because the vast majority of (illegal) immigrants are Latino-Americans and not because all United States citizens, legalized permanent residents, and naturalized citizens that recognize illegal immigration to be an unfair, dangerous, and insidious practice are racist.

At least we agree on one thing: the dems will be hard pressed to win the pro-amnesty latino vote against John “Secure the Border First, or Not” McCain.
