Will Shirley Temple disappear from the American Landscape ???



Dear American Friends :

Thanks for your posts and friendship to me. Things are not so bad. Perhaps many birds and species can be saved in the Andes and the Amazonian Basin.

Perhaps Big Business of America is not going to destroy the environments and enslave the Latin Americans. I am sure that Big Business and the Republicans are good for us and love us.

Perhaps IBM, Microsoft and Wal Mart are not so bad. But may help us latins a lot in our own land.

I can understand that you are scared of us Hispanics and our Invasion of your Land. But the worst nightmares of you will never be a reality. Hispanics are not going to take over the United States of America. And Spanish is never going to be the Official Language of the USA.

It would be more probable that English is the official language of Latin America, but that is so remote that it does not deserve a single second of thought. Why worry about the world in the year 5,000 ???

English is not going to disappear. Blonde little girls like Shirley Temple are still going to be seen in the American Landscape. Hey there are blonde girls here and they don't always have English or North European Names.

Whatever the outcome at the House of Representatives over CAFTA we should be friends, and we should stay together to analyze the outcome.

Immigration can be controlled with Computer Technology and with the help of Business Firms that migh give employment to illegals. You can send them back without the need of doing anything wrong or inhuman.

I want to point out the importance of FOREIGN POLICY. And I want to say something in a sweet and soft voice without hate or passion.

That if you persist in isolationism then the others may not be isolated. One of my wise uncles used to say that you had to go to all parties and social events, even if you were tired and bored of the people. My uncle said "If you hide then people will leave you hidden"..

So you will be left hidden under a bed while people have a wonderful party and time.

Don't hide from the World America, because you might be left hidden.

If you deny all Future or Present Trade Agreements with Latin America then they ( or us ) will seek partners in Europe, Japan, Korea or who knows where else.

Yes, we need you. But if you become super isolationists then we will have to look for dance partners elsewhere.

I acknowledge your uncomfort of "Illegal Aliens" but think long term. And control what can be controlled now by intelligent means.
