Illegal immigration is not an ethnic issue

Numerous arguments have been advanced by advocates of illegal immigrants in recent years. Although they fervently adhere to the rationale they put forth, their arguments are transparently hollow and most people see through them.

One argument is, actually, a deception that has, unfortunately, taken root among U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin — that illegal immigration is an ethnic issue and those who oppose a borderless policy are anti-Hispanic racists. This argument has been raised primarily by the national media and the propaganda has been effective. When one has the perception that his ethnic group is being attacked, the automatic response is defensive.

Unfortunately, this is a con job, a scam, and Hispanics, unfortunately, have swallowed it hook, line and sinker. The issue is not ethnicity; it's law and order and national sovereignty. We are witnessing an invasion.

It didn't start as such, but slowly developed into a stealth invasion. Mass demonstrations, where the participants are arrogant, snarling, demanding and rude, where our flag is routinely desecrated, where an ocean of foreign flags and pictures of Che Guevara are carried, are a symptom of this invasion — what its supporters call La Reconquista. And, as with every invasion, there are traitors.

Many countries are fixated on a particular traumatic event in their past to the point that their actions today are influenced accordingly: Serbia with the Battle of Blackbird's Field, Israel with the Holocaust, Germany with the Third Reich, America with Pearl Harbor, Texas with the Alamo (and some Texans do think of themselves as a country).

With Mexico it's the 1846 war with the U.S. In most schools in Mexico, hatred for Americans is fostered on that issue with the hope that someday the lost territories will be annexed. Message to Mexico: That was a century and a half ago. You lost that war. Get over it. Move on.

Some Mexicans seem to believe that if enough Mexican nationals settle in the U.S. Southwest, then in an ironic turn, what happened in Texas with the Anglo immigration in 1836 will reverse itself.

During World War II, when Japan, Germany and Italy were at war with us, U.S. citizens of Japanese, German and Italian descent were the most ferocious fighters against the Axis, even when, as with the Japanese-Americans, they had a legitimate grudge against the U.S. government.

Because I'm Hispanic and speak fluent Spanish, one of the illegal immigrants I talked to left me speechless when he smiled and said, “Before too long we'll take over all of this.â€

Bravo! He is right on the money!
