Victor,
As usual your observation is as astute as always. I did identify with
some of the debaters, those that took the middle road. I think we all need
to get together and advance our situations by sticking together and not
going off on tangents to the extremes, such as the Aztlan group. It is
unfortunate that those in that group do not realize that people like Pat
Buchanan stir the Anglo populace up by making it look like that fringe group
speaks for us all, and that we are all into "Reconquista" which brings up to the
Anglos the specter of armed brown hordes seeking to re-conquer the
land. We are slowly re-conquering anyway, due to the American economy
being so dependent on cheap Mexican labor in manufacturing, agriculture and
services. We just need to tone down our resentments and work towards
ensuring that this country remains the bastion that it has been for human rights
for everyone. We can't afford to take any backward steps. We must
acculturate, but because of the proximity to Mexico and our mostly Native
origins, they can't expect us to give up our ethnicity as rapidly nor as
completely as other immigrant groups. This will take several generations
to accomplish, if ever.
