Uh; during WW 2 many Americans of Italian family fought AGAINST Italy. I'm of Irish family: IF Ireland went cray cray on us and if I was in the service; I'd fight for the US, NOT Ireland. I'm American 1st. Too; I know many "Hispanic" people who WOULD go against Mexico IF it was needed.
Did you know that in World War I many people from Ireland fought for Germany against Great Britain.
I guess that means the Irish are not to be trusted.
Shouldn't always trust them. What's interesting -- even though these Irish were living in the USA, they quickly betrayed the USA -- and it was because they decided to hang onto their old hatred of Protestants.
The St. Patrick's Battalion - known in Spanish as el Batallón de los San Patricios - was a Mexican army unit comprised primarily of Irish Catholics who had defected from the invading US army during the Mexican-American War. The St. Patrick's Battalion was an elite artillery unit which inflicted great damage on the Americans during the battles of Buena Vista and Churubusco. The unit was led by Irish defector John Riley. After the Battle of Churubusco, most members of the battalion were killed or captured: most of those taken prisoner were hanged and the majority of the others were branded and whipped. After the war, the unit lasted for a short time before being disbanded.
Ask China-Mart and the 1% what they want for America 20 years from now.
You may not like the answer, if you are holding your breath waiting for borders to be closed. It will never happen.
Who's asking for our borders to be closed? All we are asking for is for our government to enforce our immigration laws and not to promise amnesty for those who violate them. Most of us have no problem with legal immigration in reasonable and diversified numbers.
In all seriousness, though, I would think that more Hispanics/Latinos in the U.S. would be patriotic to this country than to their and/or their ancestors' country/countries of birth/origin. However, I will need to research this topic further.
That said, on a personal level, I myself am an immigrant to the U.S. from Israel (I am not Hispanic, if you are wondering) and I am more loyal to the U.S. than I am to Israel.
The polls, marches and Hispanic advocacy groups for illegal aliens whom are coincidently from Mexico and other Latino nations like they or their ancestors are from show that they do hold blood above their patriotism to this country. I find this very alarming since they are growing in numbers by leaps and bounds.
It is more than likely California and Texas would annex, or simply buy, Mexico as a colony. That would provide these heavily industrialized states with a huge new market as well as a near unlimited supply of low cost workers and Tequila.
If Texas wants to become Mexico............I'm okay with that.
The only ones who might want Texas to become a part of Mexico would be Hispanics whose roots were from there and they are usually the Reconquista type anyway. The rest of Texans not so much.
