Does that represent all Mexicans or all Latinos? And that assumes that no Latino would fight for the US in some theoretical US/Latin American conflict.

Does not seem like any of the hispanics I work and live amongst have any desire to conquer the US. The fact American citizens still have a love for their native land does not mean they are not loyal Americans.

Correct, and contrary to popular belief Hispanics are integrating at the same rate as other immigrants waves of the past. Hispanics also lead the charts on interethnic and interracial marriages in the US.

Disrespectful.

ESPECIALLY since the guy has been here since he was four years old.


If he was good enough to make the US team, he would have been more than good enough to run for Mexico. Tons of people compete for their "home country" while living here.

Ah, I see we have a reconquista onboard. Too bad your group is too cowardly to fight us in a real war but taking over with babies rather than bullets. My what a legacy it will be in the history books. I would cower my head in shame if I were you.

What us latin american conflict? I see none on the horizon. It has to do with ownership of what is now us territory....and what they choose to do with it. My point being..........it's out of "your" hands, or mine for that matter.

Don't look at me. I'm southern white trash direct from the ozark mountains of arkansas. In regards to babies......I believe that's pretty much how my southern ancestors got texas in the first place. Looks like history is repeating itself.....in reverse.
