Learn now, "minorities" are the new majority. Just like the Anglos,
didn't like the German influx, and together they hated the Irish, then
all three started to hate Jews, Italians and other darker Europeans,
us "Americans" are adopting the same attitude to the Latinos. I saw
the movie Bobby the other night. A Mexican hotel worker replies to an
Anglo who accuses him of crossing the border illegally, that Mexicans
didn't cross the border, but the border crossed them. Seems to me that
the Southwest was theirs first.
America belongs to the world. It has from the beginning and always
will (should).
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
