Essential American Truths Hispanics Must be made to Understand
By John W. Lillpop
After watching millions of illegal aliens protest in the streets of America last April and May, it is clear that many Hispanics, both illegal aliens and those here legally, are clueless about what it means to live in America and to be American.
Such people must be made to understand the following essential truths about America:
* America is a sovereign nation, completely independent of Mexico. It has been that way for more than 200 years, and we intend to keep it that way.
* In 1848, The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was ratified by both the United States and Mexican congresses. That Treaty satisfied any and all claims Mexico had to land now part of the United States.
* Native Indians were the original landowners of what is now the Southwestern United States. Any valid “chain of title” belongs to Native American Indians, not Mexicans.
* Brown may be beautiful in Latin America. But in the United States, we are partial to colors that symbolize freedom under the rule of law. That would be Red, White and Blue.
* In America, Mexico is a foreign nation and Spanish is a foreign language.
* Being hard working and good hearted is commendable, but those qualities do not entitle anyone to enter the United States illegally.
* Speaking two or more languages is fine-- provided one of the languages is English. Literacy in Spanish rather than English is not acceptable.
* Celebrating ones cultural heritage is perfectly fine--provided it does not interfere with assimilation into American culture.
* U.S. immigration laws exist to protect American citizens & others here legally, not to facilitate a foreigner’s pursuit of a better life, and
* Those who come to America must adjust to our culture and traditions. We have no obligation or desire to change our way of living to accommodate foreign newcomers.
Illegal aliens, please share this list with family and friends who may be thinking of coming to America illegally.
Perhaps your experience will cause such people to stay in Mexico. And that would be a good thing!
