I must begin by stating that I was wrong. I was wrong about the immigration law in Arizona. I fell victim to the media's incredible distortion of the truth. It appears now that the law in Arizona simply allows the state police to enforce the existing federal law due to a complete lack of effort by the federal government. And the resulting outcry is despicable. To simply hide behind a veil of racism because the individuals breaking the law are primarily of hispanic origin is pathetic. How does anyone expect to correct the illegal immigration problem in this country if they are not allowed to do their job without being branded a racist? This is NOT a racial issue. This is an immigration issue. Hispanics are illegally coming across our boarders - that is a fact - get over it.
Furthermore, statements that I heard today such as the hispanic girl from a school in CA being offended because a few students showed up at school on Cinco de mayo wearing American flags is further illustration of how much we have lost the soul of this country. If you are so proud of Mexico then GO BACK! The vice principal pulled the students wearing flag t-shirts into his office and asked them to change. Does anyone else see the absolute disrespect for America here? Some claim that it would be the same if hispanics wore Mexican flags on the fourth of July. It is not the same at all and here is why. THIS IS AMERICA!!! Not the United States of America and Mexico - AMERICA! If you don't like it get the F OUT! I am disgusted and enraged that American citizens are being told to take off shirts with the American flag on it - on any day of the year. I have nothing against immigrants - we are all immigrants in one way or another, with the exception of a few - but my ancestors who immigrated respected America - they were Americans first and foremost, grateful of the opportunities this great country provided and respectful of the laws of this nation. If we continue to allow our beliefs and values as Americans to be disregarded we have nothing left to offer our children - sadly someday this great country will just be another extension of the rest of the world without the singularity that makes us great. It is time to require those who have come here to take advantage of the opportunities while disrespecting the county to decide whether they want to be Americans or not - and those who do not should simply go back to the countries that they are so proud of and leave this great country to those who will appreciate it.
