An Immigrant On Immigration
Smash over at Indepundit has a comment posted from one of his readers. It was so relevant to the immigration discussion that Smash moved it to the front page. It really should be read. It is by a naturalized American of Russian birth who has been here for 17 years. He has some good ideas (like Smash, I'm not 100% on board, but a lot of it makes sense.) This statement is particularly important and may very well become a better nomenclature for the group of people we're talking about:
To start with, let us clarify some terminology. I personally resent when people marching and waving other country's flags are called "immigrants" to this country. That is because I am myself a naturalized American, i. e. an immigrant. In my view, immigrants are supposed to learn the language of a new country, which is English in the case of USA, assimilate and become part of the new country. Those people waving Mexican flags and, as they say in Russian, pumping their right, are not immigrants. They are unassimilated migrants at best and foreign invaders at worst, their legal status notwithstanding.
That's pretty concise.

These are not immigrants, they are invaders. To have an invasion (Reconquista), you need to assemble an invading army (Reconquistadores). Please go to my website and scroll down to “Making the Army of Reconquista” to find out how this is done.
