It's hard to build a nation, but how many of you have given thought to the notion that their are conquerors out there that, at the end of their lives would like to smile and say. I destroyed the most powerful nation in the history of man kind.
Wait. That's their goal? Not to get higher wages, a better standard of living, or a chance at a better future? The Latino population has designs on imperialism? How'd secession work out for the last (white, American-born) group that tried it?
Similar arguments were used to argue against freeing the slaves, of course. Every historical period has made excuses for their overt or covert racism. Hate a skin color long enough and you can dream up any scenario, smiling America-destroying Latinos included.
You live in the South if I remember correctly. It's worth looking at last year's Gross State Product breakdown. If Latino immigrants are such a drain on public services and wage growth, why is the fastest-growing economy in the US Arizona? Why are California (15th), Texas (16th), New Mexico (11th), and Florida (3rd) all in the top 1/3 despite having the largest percentages of Latin immigrants, now and for decades? How's your state doing, amigo? Surely, unfettered by millions of illegal immigrants, business must be booming!
