Aside from the few, I don't see anyone griping one bit about LEGAL immigration, so if THAT is point here, it's moot.

I wonder if any of my white racial brothers could help me out with some research I'm doing?
I'm trying to track down some Hispanics: Mexicans -
Let me take a wild guess: You're a conservative and/or/republican/Bush-voter, right?
You are aware he was setting people up to blast them if they did not know these men served in our military and have many awards for bravery?

I think it was more than that, RGS. I think he was basically pointing out, nicely, how silly the racists are. ;o)
Tell Deadcandance that.
Tell Deadcandance that. She seems to think he was actually trying to say these men were criminals.
DeadcanDance is a "SHE"? Wonder how that works my addressing DCD as "dude" all the time?
I don't want to see the Balkanization of the United States. Societies are not just collections of individuals. Social cohesion and the nominal committment of a polity's citizens to an abstract set of principles is not enough to make a healthy nation: you need some mystic chords stretching from every patriot grave into the hearts of its people....
Today, immigrants come to a country whose liberal intelligentsia is ashamed of it. They have a good chance of being taught in a school whose teachers were trained in an Ed School where Howard Zinn's book is the text.
So consider my post a shot at both the racists and the hard Left.
"...you need some mystic chords stretching from every patriot grave into the hearts of its people." Yikes, no need to comment on what that reminds me of.
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." 34
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
