The illogic of your replies to my contentions are clearly astounding, verifying the fact that intellectually you are nothing more than a parrot on a broken record.
Haha, so not only did you fail to explain how you know what Mexico and South America are like without ever having been, but you also insulted me. I like it. I welcome insults, because they're a sign that you are frustrated and have nothing of substance to say. And apparently everyone else can see that too.
If you are going to make these claims, then let's see some documentation.
Why are you asking for documentation if you already claim to have proof for your assertions? Oh, that's right, you don't. There's plenty of proof out there. The mission system mapped and brought irrigation to the entire southwest and west, and without that the Americans would've had an extreme task in occupying and building it up.
Your contention that the founding fathers somehow "envisioned" a future for hispanics is completely absurd. Please retake your history, or infact, look at your own date: 1840. Where were the founding fathers at that time?
I consider the men who more than doubled the size of the United States to be founding fathers. The very same men who extended US authority all the way to the Pacific, are the very same men who granted US citizenship to all Mexicans living in the territory that was formerly controlled by Mexico. Does that sound like exclusionary policy to you? And have you done something equally great, such that you can look down on what those men in the 1840's accomplished and say "they were all idiots"?
The fact that you consider Moorish influenced Spain and France to be similar speaks for your ignorance. Spanish is a language with Latin and Arabic roots. I know Spanish, I've studied for it three years.
Yeah, I've studied Spanish too. Go ahead and point out to me the Arabic grammatical structures. Can you do that? Nope, you can't, because they don't exist. The people of Al Andalus spoke Arabic; the Spanish who took Spain back from the Muslims were from the North, ie RIGHT NEAR FRANCE, which is why Spanish and French have so many similiarities, on top of the fact that both are descended from Latin. I can think of only one word that is related to Arabic in Spanish. That's hardly "arabic roots."
But I'll wait for your proof, if you can dream some up.
Just exactly what did Mexico contribute to Western Civilization? Where are it's philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists? It's one pile of bull after another. I'm sure any superior culture would have an influence on primitive Mexico.
Again, because you don't know anything about Hispanic cultures, you don't see any influence. But you also know you haven't studied any of this material at all, don't you? Should it surprise you then that you don't know what kinds of things came from the Spanish world?
Let me make a list: The first novel: Spain. Don Quixote.
Artists: Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo
Philosophers: Octavio Paz.
Military: Hernan Cortez...conquered a powerful, warrior society of millions of people with a small, underfed band of 500 or so men.
And there's more. But you don't know about any of that, because you substitute your own assumptions about race and culture for actual investigation.
If you think crime is a "Western European problem" you know nothing of either Western Europe (the crime is an immigrant phenomenon) or Mexico, which is just as crime riddled and corrupt as any Third World nation.
Western Europe was a disaster area in terms of crime, again, until the 20th century. You'd know that if you'd studied European history, but you seem to have missed that too. Now it's pretty safe. Oddly, the 20th century is when most of the immigration really skyrocketed into Europe. Odd, don't you think? How do you explain that?
Why you continue to invoke the Founding Fathers in such an erroneous manner is beyond me.
I notice that your quote from the constitution is missing. That's because it doesn't have any of the ideas you've presented. Show me where the word "race" is mentioned in the Constitution as a permissible grounds for denying citizenship or privileges. Oh, that's right, it says the opposite: That no person may be denied any of the privileges and immunities due American citizens based on race.
To adopt Spanish in the face of all the other ethnic groups is favoritism and an acknowledgment that they are somehow more welcome than any other group, which is false.
Please show me where I said anyone should "adopt" spanish. I'd like to see this. What I remember saying is that there's nothing wrong with the language. Sure, language is a carrier of culture...see above. There's nothing wrong with Spanish culture any more than any other. You just think that because, as I'll repeat, you have not studied the issue.
Preferential treatment in immigration, which is fueled by people like you, unless you are completely blind to your own prejudice while you harp on about only the "prejudice" that puts hispanics at a disadvantage.
If you want to post about why you think the US should expel all blacks and asians too, I'll harp on that also for you. Gladly.
Btw, it's hilarious that you keep calling me a liar about my heritage. IMO, it demonstrates how narrow your worldview is. If you can't even conceive of a "fellow white person" holding my views, you my friend have got to get out more. Schools are actually integrated now, and it's legal to sit in the same train cars as other races.
