Thread: Essential American Truths Hispanics Must Accept

By John W. Lillpop

After watching millions of illegal aliens and advocates protest in the streets of America last April and May and in smaller numbers again this May, it is clear that many Hispanics, including those here legally, need to understand the following essential truths about America:

*In 1848, The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was ratified by both the U.S. and Mexican Congresses. That Treaty ended any and all claims Mexico had to land now a part of the United States.

* Native American Indians were the original owners of the American southwest. Were there were any valid property rights claims concerning that land, such rights would belong to Native American Indians, not Mexicans.

*America is a sovereign nation, totally independent of Mexico. It has been that way for over 200 years. We intend to keep it that way.

*Brown may be beautiful in Mexico. But in America, we are partial to colors that symbolize freedom under the rule of law. That would be Red, White and Blue.

*In America, Mexico is considered a FOREIGN nation and Spanish is a FOREIGN language.

*America operates according to the rule of law which applies to everyone. This is true whether one is brown, black, yellow, lily-white, red, or an exotic hybrid of lavender and green.

*Being hard-working and good hearted is commendable. But those qualities do NOT entitle anyone to enter America illegally.

*Bilingualism is cool—provided one of the languages is English. Literacy in only Mexican and Spanish is not OK in America.

*Celebrating ones cultural heritage is perfectly fine–as long as it does not interfere with complete and prompt assimilation into American culture.

* Driving while loaded or drunk may be “machoâ€

That was great. I just wish more Amercians felt this way and spoke up about it. Hopefully more people will start to.


These are common sense principles for any country to live by-if not the country will be headed for failure. What bothers me is by wanting our country to be strong and wonderful and retain the things that have made it great- we are labeled racists, etc.

Sometimes I really think that we are living in the Twighlight Zone or Bizzaro World.

Wow, seems like everyone in the media is bound and determined to make this about race.

Illegals are the problem, NOT Hispanics. Fort Dix anyone, those guys were all from Eastern Europe.
