To say that you have a right to be in the US because it was once your land many years ago is not a reasonable argument.
Not that I agree completely with them or you, but isn’t this the Jewish argument for Israel at its base?
Great point.
Yes, I would agree on the correlation, but it brings nothing to the table. Does that make this or that, then justified?
How many times have we been vroomed(a compliment in this case)about not basing an argument politically on what another has done as justification?
In this case I see nothing wrong with a registration program that is in place to simply track those entering. Why is this even a big issue with the Mexican community?
The Canadians aren’t bitching about the same process to the North.
I’m just saying many people that will damn this because they think it’s Mexicans just being angry and irrational will, at the same time, support the Jews’ claim to Israel on the exact same grounds.
I don’t know why this is a problem. I don’t like militant nationalism for anybody, and I think the Mexicans might get themselves in a lot of trouble with this.
I’m for legalizing them, and making it easier to become citizens (not dual, mind you, but to be a citizen). I think something that screams, “You robbed us” is going to hurt their chances of being looked on not only as people, but as a big voting block. Politicians won’t be so quick to move on helping these people if they are so quick to damn we who already live here.
What is wrong with militant nationalism? I am being completely serious.[/quote]
Haha. Ooohh I don’t know.
Maybe you should ask Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or Soviet Russia that question.
Or maybe just read a history book or ten.
