I just wanted to post something about the marches we do participate in. This one involved something like 76 trombones and 110 cornets. or so. Something like 50,000 people came to watch 15 or so high schools march down State street with accomanying fire engines, cars, floats, clowns, and assorted merry makers. We gathered in the park for further festivities involving souped up automobiles with 60's music in the background, concerts at the bandshell, consession stands, and one heck of a lot of people celebrating being American. Celebrating our children. And celebrating music in the park. On May 1st there is supposed to be another demonstration of "Latino Power". A day without immigrants. I intend to walk from Veteran's Memorial in Central Park to City Hall, then to the US Post Office with my American flag. I don't know if anyone will join me....
My ancestors did not claim this land from wilderness and tame its bounty for us to just give it away to a bunch of squatters. I do not doubt things are rough in Mexico. I'm sure they "just want a better future for their children". So do I. This is my country. It belongs to me and my fellow citizens of the United Stated of America. There are several billion people in the world today. A lot of them would think the Mexicans are rich. If these marchers want to protest against a government's policies, why do they not march in Mexico? Their problem isn't really whether or not they are treated well in the United States anyway. The problem lies in the corrution deep in the heart of Mexico and its ruling elite. If we give in to these threats of anarchy we will end up just like any third world country. A very small wealthy ruling elite with a large poor underclass. We have striven too hard to allow this to come to pass. The sleeping giant I heard referenced during the LA march was not the masses of illegals shouting slogans in spanish demanding undeserved rights. The sleeping giant rousing from slumber is the same one Admiral Yamomoto Isoroku awakened on December 7, 1941.
Over 70% of the American people want nothing to do with guest workers and 90% believe border control should come first. Then lets discuss any other issues. Immigration cannot be reformed if it is not controlled. Immigration cannot be controlled if the borders are not controlled. Period.
