You know, the funny thing is, I despise what I just said.
I voted against Pete Wilson and 187.
To this day, I support amnesty, drivers licenses and social services for the illegal people here. We need them more than they need us, in human and economic terms. They work hard, so very hard, and start with so very little. The human tragedy, the split families, the piles of abandoned teddy bears in the desert near Sasabe AZ, this just breaks my heart.
But this just cannot continue as it is.
Our society is worth preserving. Our anglo-saxon based civilization is worth preserving. Sure, immigrants of different colors and nationalities and beliefs can come. But they must embrace our culture. Otherwise, we have Baghdad. Or Amsterdam. Or Brixton. Not good.
A common language is the first step. The natural assimilation process that existed for generations has been frozen by profiteers like Univision Radio and TV, where a California industrialist who can't speak spanish and lives just down the beach from here makes hundreds of millions by exploiting their differences.
Ooops, that's where David Edward works, isn't it? He too has made some handsome coin discriminating against spanish speaking people by freezing them in their inability to speak the nation's common language.
When the shoe is on the other foot, the Mexican Republic is far less accepting than we are. Undocumented aliens are dealt with very savagely there. Even US citizens have a hard time emigrating. The gobierno, for some strange reason, absolutely insists that U.S. citizens speak spanish and have money in the bank before being allowed to settle.
When I was a college student in Tucson, I became a great fan of the writer Edward Abbey (Monkeywrench Gang, etc). His views on Mexico then were repugnant to me: he felt a high fence was needed to prevent mexico's overpopulation, social and economic distribution cancers from spreading north. I told him to his face he was a racist. He threw a beer can at me.
Edward Abbey was right.
30 years from now, English will be protected like French in Ontario (not Quebec, Ontario). The republicans will be the Parti Quebecois.
I would say that government would require that radio station groups would require 40 percent English programming, but radio station groups will be obsolete buggy whips in 5 years so who cares?
