Then we get someone like Geraldo (granted the man is a putz, but he is not unique in his hispanazation of the US views) spouting off how great it is that the US will soon be dominated by hispanics and their needs and their viewpoints. Wtf? How can these two diametrically opposed versions of the same event be true? It can only be one or the other.
I see I am not the only one confused.

For the first time in modern world history a powerful nation is changing complexion right before the eyes of its citizens. In real time it is possible to watch America become more culturally diverse, its face physically darker. The United States has vastly more Latinos than it did just a relatively few years ago, and their numbers are increasing at an explosive rate, on average almost four thousand per day.

Geraldo is salivating over the diminshment of anglos in this country. Note his remark about the increased browning of America. It is an outright racist statement! It would be no different if an anglo would brag about illegally invading a predominantly Hispanic or Asian country and diluting their majority racial, cultural and ethnic makeup and breeding them out of existance. He is despicable!

[SIZE=2]In his new book “The Great Progression: How Hispanics Will Lead America to a New Era of Prosperity,” award-winning journalist Geraldo Rivera details the evolving role of Hispanics in shaping every facet of American culture. Read an excerpt on how the Hispanic community has socially, economically and politically impacted our future.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Note how Geraldo denies that illegal immigration hasn't significantly increased their numbers? Note how he claims that Hispanics are shapiing every facet of American culture when it is only in the southwest that these changes are occuring and it still doesn't change our basic culture anyway? Note how he claims that America is becoming more culturally diverse when what he is really salivating over is his claims that America is becoming "Hispanicized"? Note how he claims that Hispanics will lead this nation into a new era of prosperity when in fact most of their nations are failed ones aka Mexico? Note how he boasts about their exploding birthrates? This is something to boast about?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]What an ethnocentric BS artist! We are being invaded by millions of illegals who are mostly Hispanics and he boasts about that and how they are going to be the future of this country? I would be ashamed if that were the only way my ethnic group could claim success is by taking over an already successful country in this manner and replace the traditional society of a country. They sure wouldn't like it if the shoe were on the other foot![/SIZE]

Where there are illegals...hospitals are closing, prisons are packed, schools scores fall. That's prosperity? Compared to Mexico where Hispanics are now in the US only looks okay because they haven't yet been "handed the keys" to their new 3rd world style barrio.

Florida I would include as invader territory but the other states have not been overwhelmed with illegals and Hispanics in general like the southwest has. By the way, are you bragging as Geraldo is about the so-called Hispanization of our country? Are you aware that Hispanics are the majority in 22 countries on the Western Hemisphere? How many will be enough for you? Is Canada next?

And Geraldo is a White man to boot with a Jewish mother.

That is just 2, for a start.
1) Where in the law does it say you can't have a different point of view from the anti-immigrant crowd?

2)What business are you talking about?

Btw, weren't you the one who wrote in another thread that your father in law hires illegal immgrants to work on his ranch sometimes? I might have mistaken you for a different poster if that's not the case.

Having a different point of view does not include defying our laws or demonizing your fellow Americans for wanting our laws enforced. Who are the anti-"immigrant" crowd? I know of no such group. Oh, did you mean anti-illegal crowd? Typical of your side to blur the lines.

Being Hispanic white and non-Hispanic white holds a whole different set of morals and culture from what I can tell.

The guy is a total loon.

He gave away a strategic piece of info while he was in Iraq that lead to many troops be harmed.

Then a couple weeks ago he started in on this crap about how Mexicans have improved America in the last 10 years.

Improved my ass, they have nearly rot gutted this country with their unlawfulness, diseases and criminal actions.

Send him and them home where they belong.

He is a total nutcase who about caused the lives of our brave soldiers for being so stupid and wanting to get a story out.

He loves illegals from Mexico and Cuba and that makes him a total idiot and a traitor.
