Solid Democratic Leadership - Where are the Republicans?

Amazing that a Democrat would demonstrate such leadership, but there it is. Where is our party, the Republican Party, going? This is a great article, and it makes me ashamed to say I am a Hispanic.

Truth be told, some Hispanics, such as those mentioned here, have no regard to public decency and civic duty. Why should they--they emigrate illegally, and are protected by wacky laws that afford them rights never given by the constitution. Why should they care if we as a nation don't care that they care. We don't require them to leave. In some states, immigrants are allowed to take the citizenship oath in Spanish! That is ridiculous!

If you want to be a part of this country, if you want to enjoy the rewards of the price that was paid by our men and women through out history, then you should be willing to learn our history, develop an elemental grasp of our language, and seek to integrate and contribute to our culture. I don't advocate immigrants abandoning their rich culture, but they should be working to integrate, no the other way around!

We don't ask illegal immigrants to contribute in substantial ways (other than the cheap labor they provide). Ultimately, the victims of our weak immigration and poor boarder security are the illegal immigrants themselves. Read on...

Suffolk's Democratic County Executive Steve Levy says his hard-line stand on immigrant housing was forged over 16 years of knocking on doors in his South Shore legislative district.
"There's an incredible undercurrent of frustration," he said. "And when you hear someone who has 20 people living next to them urinating on their front lawn, it makes you want to help them."
Levy defends his posture by noting the uniqueness of the situation in this story.
...Circumstances in Farmingville were far different - all the occupants were undocumented immigrants so the county could not legally provide housing help. He also said the house was a "fire trap" that could not remain open.
If that building had caught on fire, the fringe left would be the first ones calling for lawsuits and protesting the rights of these immigrants to have safe, affordable housing. The county would get sued for even allowing such unsafe living conditions! There is just no way to win!!

Al Cardenas Comments on Univision Democrat Forum

Al Cardenas is Chairman of Romney for President's Hispanic Steering Committee. I got the following email from the campaign. Boston, MA – Al Cardenas, the Chairman of Romney for President's National Hispanic Steering Committee, issued the following statement regarding tonight's Democrat presidential forum on Univision: "Tonight's Univision forum demonstrated once again the consequences that a President Clinton, President Obama or President Edwards would have on the Hispanic community.  Whether it's tax increases for families and the two million Hispanic business owners, socialist-style health care, coddling dictators, opposing free trade with our allies or putting family values last, the Democrat presidential candidates made clear how out of sync their policies are with the best interests of the Hispanic community. Mitt Romney has put in the effort to reach out to this vital bloc, and, after watching tonight's debate

Harry Potter Mania -- Discussion

There is a great discussion going on at WorldMagBlog on the whole Harry Potter mania. Nothing to do with Latinos, I suppose, but I thought I would ad my two cents. A reader commented: I think its interesting how much people want to be in a group that is all connected by some common thread. It says a lot about our desire for homogeny, not always along racial, sexual or religious lines, but also simply based on what we do in our spare time. The interesting thing about Harry Potter fans vs. Star Trek fans is that a vast majority of them are kids who have grown up with the books, or the parents of said kids. I wonder if what sort of effects this will have on them as they get older (and whether or not they will remain HP fans). We live in an obsessive culture. Posted by David B. at July 22, 2005 07:54 AM This is an interesting phenomenon. I would think it is indicative of our society, more than anything else. I tend to agree with the idea that it shows a desire or need for communi

Communism: Good Money for the "El Viejo"

I guess Fidel Castro is doing ok . Forbes lists Castro as one of the richest in the world, right up there with the Queen of England. I bet he didn't like the attention. It was hard to figure it out, but it seems they managed to throw some numbers together. In the past, we have relied on a percentage of Cuba's gross domestic product to estimate Fidel Castro's fortune. This year we have used more traditional valuation methods, comparing state-owned assets Castro is assumed to control with comparable publicly traded companies. A reasonable discount was then applied to compensate for the obvious disclosure issues.
