First I want to thank Mr. Navarette for having led me to this site.
This is an email letter I sent in response to Mr. Navarette's most recent article that was posted on CNN's website.

Mr. Navarette,

Please don't dilute yourself into thinking that you are a journalist,
that would defile those true journalists from the past and present
like: Edward R. Murao, Walter Cronkite, Truman Capote, Lillian Ross,
Gay Talese, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Friedman. These are the kind of
journalists that would speak to the truth even if it didn't follow the
lines of their political ideology. I would only describe you as a
political commentator as you have a specific agenda.
You have definately shown your colors now if you haven't before.
You're a closet conservative that doesn't hesitate to bash those that
don't agree with you, as many conservatives do. You call those that
don't agree with you liberals, even though they may not be. It's just
the way conservatives react when the position they take has no defense
or merit.
I'm neither a conservative or a liberal. I like to think of myself as
a free thinker as I don't need to either identify with or associate
myself with a particular ideology, as apparently you do.
There comes a time in one's life when speaking the truth should take
precedence over taking a political stance, but I guess you feel so
strong toward your ethnicity that anything your people may do wrong as
a group you will still find justification. Whether it be illeagal
immigration, drug smuggling, border guards being jailed because they
were protecting the border, illegal aliens striking jobs (when they're
not here legally anyway) attempting to cripple those who have helped
them (which should teach those employers a lesson about hiring such
people). While you're standing up for your people, how about joining
them in the streets and protest the harm that the Hispanic gangs are
committing against not only their own communities but all the
communities at the same time overloading law enforcement, the penal
system and financial costs to all Californians and Americans. Maybe,
we can create a seperate society within the illegal community whereby
they bare the additional costs that the illegal community costs
taxpayers and relieve all the American people the financial burden
that the illegals bring. Here's a novel idea for you, through your
jounalistic efforts, why don't you start encouraging those that are
coming here to find a better life to stand up to change their
government so that everyone in Mexico and the Latin Americas can have
a better life? Or is it that you feel stronger toward the Mexican
government than you do our own government? What will happen when all
Latin America comes to the US, will the people who have EARNED the
right or deserve to be here have a better life or will they be looking
somewhere else for a better life. What do colonies of locusts do once
they have destroyed a field? They move on to the next one. Have you
once thought why it is you have a better life? It's because right now
there is a better life available, but it won't be that way forever.
And have you thought that maybe not everyone can have or deserves a
better life? There is something everyone has to learn from where they
are in life and leaving one's country for another doesn't mean you'll
have a better life. I don't see that the color of your skin defines
who you are as a man, but rather the kind of man defines who you are
in humanity.
So, I have one question, what are you first, an American or Mexican?
If you are first Mexican then you owe allegence to Mexico and that is
where you should live. If you are American first, then you should owe
your allegence to America and to speak the truth, not a political
ideology nor some sense of ethnic loyalty, but speak to what is right
for all Americans. Your nationality (being where you are from) should
not be preceeded by your etnicity (being your heritage or family
background). So, if you feel stronger about your ethnicity than you do
your nationality, again, you should go live amongst your ethnic people
in the land of their fathers and help them to make a better society
for them and NOT live within a multi-cultural society and attempt to
have them change their ways just to make yours better.
