Do you think American Indians welcomed an invasion by European settlers?
It would seem you don't like the way the game is played when the dynamics work against you. Europeans basically invaded America, used immigrants to push Indians off their land and then systematically exterminated them as the final step to take over land that is now the United States of America.
And then we made treaties and gave them all kinds of stuff to make up for it including free medical care, the rights to open casinos etc. Now they are getting their own back by raping the wallets of the white man.
When and if we are totally invaded by hispanics...will we be given anything to make up for it ? I don't think so.
Okay, so now you've found self cornered, and with nothing meaningful to say. Good. I fully expected that.
I have no intentions of playing your game. You made accusations, and I have requested you prove your point by quoting my posts. I'm still waiting. I have to leave, but will return. That gives you plenty of time to quote me. Either that, or be man enough to apologize.
I believe in the eyes of God we are all equal and brothers and sisters.
I've taken communion next to men and women I knew for a fact were illegal. The priest asked none of us for our papers.
I'm quite sure Christ didn't care about our status.
(Let me tell you. It's quite humbling to take communion next to a man who has come to mass directly from the fields and wants only to worship his God.)
God does not want a lawless society. That is why the he made commandments.
An analogy of your "house" doesn't work as a substitution for the United States, unless you believe your household represents what you want to see for 100% of Americans...
I just looked in the fridge, and I didn't see any tortillas...
Yeah, really - when was the last time you saw an Anglo-American smoking the peace pipe and eating the peyote mushroom? We might do well to 'assimilate' into the Native-American culture.
When was the last time you saw a Black, Asian, Hispanic or any other American smoking a peace pipe and eating a peyote mushroom? Just another disgruntled pro-illegal alien living in the past and spouting nonsense.

You're? Grow up and debate instead of looking for apologies. For what, this...

Define assimilation. Would it entail my choice to speak in German when visiting German communities in Central Texas? Would it entail in my choice to wear Kilt to Scarborough Festival tomorrow? And follow it up in the evening with a nice Italian dinner, and French coffee, and Indian buffet on Sunday?
One second thought... never mind. I think you've defined your idea of assimilation by presenting your personal account here:

Now, back to your baseless accusations. Quote my posts.
Here's a partial list of some of the Hispanic failures to "assimilate". Let's just kick these kids of illegal immigrants out. What have they done for us?
