Now, what was that about the Whosacrats?

We need Teddy Roosevelt to remind America, especially Democrats, about hyphenated Americans.

As far as I am aware, Latinos are just like everybody else — anyone on the other side object to that clause? — in that they tend to speak the language of their ancestors less in successive generations.

People retain other aspects of their culture for generations, however, and corruption and “todo por la raza” racism are a part of their culture, which has rubbed off on most of our politicians apparently.

As exhibit#1 I offer that 70% of Latinos voted against the Republicans last election simply because a few Republicans were trying to uphold our laws on immigration and the sovereignty of our land. Whether they speak good English or not, their primary loyalty remains to la raza and not to the United States, and this is combined with contempt for our immigration laws and no strong cultural tradition of respect for law. Note that Alberto Gonzales almost singlehandedly dismantled freedom in America with his Mexican values of buttkissing the Jefe, torture, no habeas corpus, and so forth. Wait till we get 50 Latinos like Gonzales in high places in the government and Hispano-fascists like Mel Martinez and Luis Gutierrez running things!

I would guess that the reason that Hispanics in general are more racist than patriotic is that they come from countries with corrupt strongman governments and so loyalty to a country is not part of their culture–they rely on la familia, la pandilla, y la raza, but not on el govermento.

How do you say pander en Espanol?

Absolutely appalling.

The difference is that there was no pandering to the people who spoke those other languages. The other difference is that those immigrants came here legally. What I would like to know is the difference in attitude between those who legally emigrated from Mexico and those who broke our laws to get here.

My first guess is that those who actually respect our laws and came here legally are not demanding we bend over backwards to accommodate them. On the other hand I am willing to bet that those who have no respect for our laws are the ones expecting special treatment. It would make sense since they are demanding special treatment when it comes to their demands to stay here without going through the proper procedures and waiting period.

If you want to come to the U.S. and live and work here

A) go through the proper paperwork and waiting period

and

B) learn English, there is no responsibilty on the U.S.’s part to accommodate your childish demand that your needs have to be accommodated.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico(AP) A truck carrying explosives for the mining industry exploded after running into another vehicle in northern Mexico, killing at least 37 people, a federal police official said Monday.

The two cars collided Sunday evening on a highway in Coahuila state, near the town of Sacramento, Luis Horacio de Hoyos said.

Soldiers, police, emergency officials, nearby residents and reporters were on the scene when the vehicle suddenly caught fire, igniting the truck full of explosives.

Maximo Alberto Neri Lopez, a federal police official, said 37 people were killed and 150 were injured. He said the explosion left a 3-meter by 15-meter crater in the concrete.

De Hoyos said three newspaper reporters from the city of Monclova were among the dead.

Peachy.
