Land Of The Lost

 

There is no solution for a complex problem that will satisfy all interested parties. Some say the free market capital system should have the power to make the decision for all. Others say our individual interests should have the greatest power. Without factually accurate unbiased information, democracy is a rigged game of ignorance and influence. Vote your dissatisfaction to hold power accountable, and a new batch of power hungry lyres always take their place. In the end, we get the government we deserve. The democratic free market system doesn't serve the interests of most American's, because it's too busy working for those at the top. United we stand, divided we fall, so why invest in a narrative of devotion? Divide and concur.

Our New Ungracious Immigrants

The contrast between the grateful immigrants who once embraced America and the resentful newcomers who scorn it reveals how radically — and dangerously — the nation’s immigration ethos has changed.

The Traditional Immigrant

I grew up in rural California surrounded by hard-working immigrant farm families from Armenia, India, Japan, and Mexico. Their work ethic, love of America, and productive farms were models for U.S. non-immigrants. Such immigrants explained why the San Joaquin Valley was the most productive and richest agricultural region in the nation.

The Greek American Elia Kazan’s 1963 film America, America is a fictional account based on the Herculean struggle of the director’s uncle to immigrate to the United States from an impoverished and hostile Turkish Anatolia.

The film summed up Americans’ traditional view of immigrants: They had risked everything for the chance to reach America, and once there, became hyperpatriotic in their gratitude for the magnanimity of their new hosts.

An excellent example is the recently released memoir from Encounter Books, American Trojan, by former University of Southern California president and Cypriot immigrant Dr. Max Nikias. It resonates with thankfulness to America for offering him opportunities undreamed of elsewhere.

He and his wife arrived in the U.S. from war-torn Cyprus nearly penniless but determined to work hard, master English, and enrich the country that welcomed them with their talents and education. What followed was an amazing American trajectory that saw Nikias become president of the University of Southern California — arguably the most successful one in recent memory.

My own Swedish grandfather, disabled by poison gas while fighting on the Western Front in World War I, loved all things Swedish, but not nearly as much as his beloved America.

Four Hansons fought on the front lines of World Wars I and II. One was disabled, and another was killed on Okinawa. And all felt blessed that their parents and grandparents had gotten to America.

Silicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded eBay, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo, and a host of others.

Gratitude and Ingratitude

But recently, something has gone terribly wrong with immigration — an open border, of course, but also a change in legal immigration as well as student visitors.

During World War II, Japanese Americans fought heroically in horrific conditions in Italy in the famous 442nd Regimental Combat Team and 100th Infantry Battalion — even as their families were interned in the Western United States. Few native-born Americans were more loyal or patriotic than the Japanese Americans.

But now?

While America is at war with Iran and de facto with its terrorist proxies, crowds of immigrants, visitors, and foreign students in New York scream anti-American slogans as they cheer on our enemies in theocratic Iran and its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

Are we surprised, then, when Islamic terrorists begin hunting down Americans on our own soil?

On campuses today, thousands of Middle Eastern international students, mostly arriving from autocratic, tribal, and failed nations, have staged often violent demonstrations in the years following the October 7, 2023, massacre. They are not shy about cheering on the Hamas slaughter of Israeli civilians.

These pro-Hamas students have not just damned Israel but also often harassed Jewish Americans. They revile their host America and expect Americans to smile and shrug.

It is hard to determine whether such zealots hate the U.S. more than they love living in America and preserving their student visas and work permits.

Hating or Loving the Great Satan?

Take Dr. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani. She is the daughter of Ali Larijani, one of the late Supreme Leader Khamenei’s murderous henchmen. He sent his daughter Fatemeh to the top schools in the satanic United States. She was eventually even hired as a professor at Emory University — at least until popular outrage at the Larijani family’s hypocrisy prompted her dismissal.

To our enemies in Iran, we may be the “Great Satan.” But Iranian theocrats apparently prefer their children and other relatives to study and get rich in Luciferian America. So, many send their kids to universities in the USA.

Another surreal example is the case of Mahmoud Khalil, who arrived on a student visa at Columbia University and soon led the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.”

When the State Department sought to revoke his temporary visa, the Left made Khalil a veritable martyr. Apparently, his university supporters reasoned that the U.S. had an obligation to invite to its shores those who are active supporters of terrorists like Hamas.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized citizen from Uganda whose parents became public figures and multimillionaires in America, in the past has had little good to say about his adopted country.

His quite public wife, Rama, whose parents were naturalized Syrian citizens, illustrated a book that was rife with antisemitism. It’s no accident that after October 7, she posted “likes” of social media praise of the terrorist Hamas killers, who are sworn enemies of her own country.

Many Somali immigrants of Minneapolis repaid the kindness of Americans in welcoming them from war-torn Somalia by committing the greatest welfare fraud in U.S. history, which may reach $9 billion in theft. Their iconic representative, Ilhan Omar, has voiced antisemitic vitriol, downplayed 9/11, claimed the U.S. has a dictatorship worse than the one she fled, and said the U.S. was turning into one of the worst countries in the world. That is the thanks she returns for entering a hospitable America under controversial circumstances and dubious legality.

 

Hating — or Hating to Leave — America?

Stranger still is the attitude of visitors and illegal aliens when they finally face deportation.

Joe Biden allowed 10–12 million foreign nationals to illegally enter the U.S. during his tenure, among them some 500,000 known criminals. In the years since his inauguration, not a day goes by without news that illegal aliens of that era have murdered, assaulted, been arrested for felonious acts, or caused horrific auto accidents.

One of them was Kilmar Ábrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, who long ago was ordered to be deported for his unlawful entry and residence.

Instead, he too became an icon to the Left when he was recently and belatedly facing permanent deportation. He had clearly ignored his earlier deportation orders, and was an alleged gang member, an often violent spousal abuser, and a human trafficker.

Ábrego Garcia apparently felt he had a right to enter the U.S. illegally. He successfully made a mockery of our immigration laws. But he presciently expected that soon hundreds of thousands of dollars of free legal help would come his way, ensuring he could stay in the country for which he showed utter contempt.

A rioter waves a Mexican flag as smoke and flames rise from a burning vehicle near Los Angeles City Hall in downtown Los Angeles, California, June 8, 2025.

And in the U.S., one of the most bizarre aspects of recent protests against ICE efforts involved episodes of Mexican nationals waving the flag of the country to which under no circumstances they wished to return, even as they burned the flag of the nation in which they insisted they had an innate right to stay.

Our New Americans Killing Americans

Yet the immigration disaster transcends student visas and illegal aliens, since it extends to many naturalized citizens as well.

Consider the terrorist acts that have transpired in just the last eight days.

On March 1, Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Senegal, shot up a beer garden in Austin, Texas. He murdered three people and wounded 14 others. Diagne wore a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, along with an Iranian flag T-shirt.

On March 7, 2026, Emir Balat, the son of a naturalized citizen from Turkey, and Ibrahim Kayumi, the son of naturalized Afghan refugees, threw IEDs toward a conservative protest outside Gracie Mansion, the New York mayor’s residence.

The media sought to cover up their Islamist motives but could not, given that the two terrorists openly boasted of their aims. Indeed, the two bragged that they wanted to achieve something “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”

The Biblical Case Against Mass Immigration Guest Author   ·   Jan 18 Read full story

That was a reference to Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the murderous Chechen-immigrant brothers. In 2013, they murdered three and injured hundreds at the Boston Marathon. Their aim too was apparently to further the so-called global “Islamic cause.”

In the same week, on March 12, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, another naturalized U.S. citizen, this time from Sierra Leone, went into an ROTC meeting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Once there, he murdered the instructor, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah, a decorated combat veteran. Jalloh shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he fired. Jalloh had previously been convicted for attempting to support ISIS but was released before serving his full sentence.

That same March day, Ayman Muhammed Ghazali, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Lebanon, whose family in the Middle East currently has strong Hezbollah terrorist ties, drove his car rigged with explosive fireworks into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Ghazali was killed by security guards before he could carry out his homicidal plan. Hezbollah, remember, in the past, butchered hundreds of Americans in Lebanon.

There is an endless list of illegal aliens and naturalized citizens who have killed countless Americans, both as common criminals and as would-be jihadists.

And not all the killing is intentional. Thousands of driver’s licenses have been issued to both illegal aliens and legal residents from all over the world, including those who do not understand English, cannot pass a commercial driver’s test, and are utterly unqualified to drive. Is it any surprise that we have recently witnessed serial horrific crashes, where incompetent drivers rammed their 80,000-pound semi-trucks into unsuspecting drivers?

What Happened to Immigration?

So what made the U.S. adopt such a suicidal immigration and visitation policy — one that welcomes in millions illegally, hundreds of thousands who are known criminals, tens of thousands of students who despise the U.S., and thousands of terrorists themselves and their sympathizers?

In the mid-1960s, amid the Great Society’s dreams of transforming America, new immigration laws were passed that ended the older quota process. That traditional system tended to favor better-off immigrants from Europe and the former British Empire to reflect somewhat the founding values of the republic.

But the new law junked the prior merit-based system and instead admitted immigrants chiefly on the basis of family ties and the purported need of the host country for inexpensive labor — with most now arriving from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Suddenly, far less important for entry were critical skill sets, English mastery, high school diplomas, proof of self-support, and knowledge of, or familiarity with, the American system.

But in the subsequent 60 years, Democrats went even further beyond the 1965 Hart–Celler Act efforts to change the demography of the U.S. They began welcoming in anyone, legal or not, who simply crashed the border or claimed they wanted to study in the U.S. The old melting pot was banished, replaced by the “salad bowl.”

Immigration was seen by the Left as the answer to why they had never been able to complete their socialist agendas amid a skeptical American public. Supposedly, by welcoming in a “diverse” demographic, poor and without English fluency, they would grow the welfare state, creating a new dependent constituency.

The new immigrants and visitors were envisioned as left-wing voters-to-be who would look to the Democratic Party as their guarantors of open borders, a new entitlement society, and a criminal justice system that saw the perpetrator as a victim — and the real criminal as a supposedly racist America itself.

Diversity, the Immigration Force Multiplier

The new “diversity” ideology peaked under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The subtext of their open-borders nihilism was a new oppressor/oppressed binary.

It dictated that traditional America was still too white, too traditionalist, too Christian, too unfairly successful — and too hostile to the Democratic Socialist agenda of a mandated equality of result achieved through massive coercive government redistributive efforts.

Under this warped view, the criminally minded Ábrego Garcia became a victim of supposed “Gestapo” ICE “goons” (ironic, when patriotic and skilled Mexican American officers disproportionately staff ICE ranks).

The Tsarnaev Boston Marathon killers became “hot” underdog freedom fighters. So the supposedly sexy, photogenic young murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was highlighted on the cover of Rolling Stone.

The more Mahmoud Khalil took on the mantle of an anti-American, pro-Hamas activist, the more the Left rallied to his cause.

When Major Nidal Hasan, the son of naturalized Palestinian immigrants, slaughtered 13 and wounded 32 fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, the Pentagon resisted efforts to tie him to the Islamic terrorist cause. That was hard to do, since he screamed “Allahu Akbar!” as he mowed down his fellow soldiers.

Then Army Chief of Staff George Casey responded to the mass murder with his lamentation on CNN that, “As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.” He sought to quash any speculation about Hasan’s Islamic motives, in fear that the ensuing truth might endanger the Army’s diversity efforts.

Then we come to the case of Eileen Gu, the recent American Winter Olympic multi-medalist skier.

She was born in San Francisco to a Chinese immigrant mother and an American father and lived her entire life in the U.S. But Gu chose to compete in the games for Communist China, despite its efforts to isolate, dehumanize, and eventually vastly “reduce” its Uyghur minority population.

Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster

The final irony: Why do so many criminals believe they can enter the U.S. illegally and get away with murder?

Is it because they feel contempt for any nation that opens its borders, requires no background checks, destroys its own immigration laws, and weaponizes its criminal justice system to make the criminal the victim and the state his victimizer?

Why do so many burn the U.S. flag while waving the flag of Mexico, a country they have no intention of returning to?

Is it because they sense they might be praised for “celebrating diversity,” as the popular culture would term such abject cultural schizophrenia?

Why would the Tsarnaev brothers repay the country that took them in by killing innocent Americans?

Would it be because, in their formative years in American schools, their teachers and texts emphasized what was wrong with a supposedly exploitative U.S.?

Why, in the middle of a near-existential war with Iran to stop its efforts to obtain nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles pointed at the U.S. and its allies, would naturalized citizens feel so free to slaughter Americans for the cause of Islam?

Would it be because they sense from left-wing universities and popular culture that it is a virtual open season on Jews? Or that any time an Islamic terrorist commits an act, a Democrat operative will warn America of “Islamophobia” — as if, say, mowing down soldiers at Fort Hood is the lesser crime?

"Illegal Immigration Now, Illegal Immigration Tomorrow, Illegal Immigration Forever!" Guest Author   ·   Feb 18 Read full story

Why would a rich, privileged Eileen Gu feel no discomfort competing for a murderous regime whose agenda is to displace her country from its global preeminence in favor of a communist dictatorship?

Is it because in our relativist modern America, Gu’s “truth” is just as meaningful as any other? And who, after all, is qualified to judge anything or anyone?

Who created our current Frankensteinian monstrosities?

We did.

We are the Dr. Frankensteins who ask nothing of immigrants, in a complete break from our nation’s past. And we got our wish for a new, quite different class of immigrants, who treat the U.S. the very way they were taught to do by the Left: as an evil entity that deserves what it gets.

And we sure have gotten it.

Does your trust in a GOP sheriff running for California governor make it true? Is that why you believe his claim without factually accurate unbiased information regarding his counting methods, the number of vote inaccuracies found, or who is actually favored in this alleged fraud? If this information were found to be true and accurate, don't you think conservative media would be on it like stink on shit? Anticipating desperate times come November? we're suck in a Fucked 22 situation, so rest assured, regardless of the outcome, nothing that actually matters will change for you or me.

Yup. I dislike the ever present insinuation and often direct stated idea that being against an open boarder policy, or not hating on Trump, all the time, is racist. So, I disliked your inference that enacting immigration policies that benefit those living in America over some of those wanting to live in America is racial or any other kind of prejudice, against the people.

Not only does Trump not give a fuck about immigrants, he doesn't give a fuck about gun rights and, as a poorer than average American, he most certainly doesn't give a fuck about me. In fact, if there are break throughs in anti-aging science, after the democrats come back to power and ass fuck America over running it with immigrants across the southern boarder, then Trump will run again and if it increases his odds of victory, he will do so, in Spanish. 

The pandering to prejudice take is a pretty fair perspective.  This administration started out promising to go after the “worst of the worst”.  His first term saw a majority of arrests within the interior had criminal records.  Great.  Currently less than 10% of arrests have any criminal record.  For context about 1/3 of US adults have a criminal record.  So they are actively pursuing people with less criminal history than average citizens.  For what reason?  Fill in the blank and void that from prejudice.  Maybe you will come up with their cost to you and I.  60% of immigrants pay income tax.  Many pay property taxes and all pay sales tax.  They can’t claim social security even though they pay into it.  26 billion was last years immigrant contribution toward our retirement.  Without it, we can’t make social security solvent.  Go find me an estimate of assistance funds that exceed than number.  Then remove tax credits from that value as tax credits are taxes not paid, which is not money from you and I.  Most estimates of the cost of immigrants counts the child welfare tax credits as the cost.  Which is just part of what they pay.  Which doesn’t happen if they are not here working.   So that leaves us with cultural reasons for removing them from what I see.  Which is mental gymnastics to remove prejudice from the mix.  Does that make you a racist?  Not in my eyes.  But it does make having a beer with a certain type of racist easier.  I know I’m not clear of prejudice nor racism.  Who is.  But I know being aware of prejudice allows for informed opinion.  Blinders keep the horse in line.  But someone else holds the reign.

A Reminder and Note of Appreciation

March 25, 2026 | Sundance | 5 Comments

I have posted this a few times. Each time serves a purpose. [SEE HERE] Here’s a friendly reminder to those who use CTH as a reference resource and research library.

CTH was founded because everyone seemed more comfortable pretending about the journey than admitting our predictable destination.  From the outset, and with a long view of the challenges we would face, I have repeatedly stated that everything on this website would be free for the taking.

The truth has no agenda; it just sits there -out there somewhere- waiting to be discovered. Our feelings about it are irrelevant to its existence. The core of our assembly is to look deeply at uncomfortable things, then accept them as they are and not as we would wish/pretend them to be.

We are in the middle of a fully Orwellian information control operation.  A DHS reconfiguration of the U.S. information communication network as we know it has already taken place. Every day people are discovering more ramifications.

As a direct result, the voices who put accurate context to our national challenge are targets; they are being siloed, and AI was/is designed to assist in this purpose.

Information is being categorized according to definitions by people who do not have good intents.  The blocking, censorship and categorization of information is intended to stop any/all information averse to the interests of a few powerful interests.

Now, perhaps people see why the CTH ‘free information’ cornerstone was set. The truth has no agenda!

Everything you read and review upon these pages is free for the taking.

Anyone, for any reason, can take any content I produce and use it to advance the honest effort of providing raw unfiltered truth to their audience.  Everything is available for use free, without any attribution or citation if necessary. 

 

All that I provide is free and can be modified, changed, enhanced in part or whole to meet your needs. Images, writing, research, analysis, all of it is provided, along with no expectation of citation or attribution dependent on your motives and intents.

Make the words your own; use them in part or modify to make a more intelligent or comprehensive outline. All the accompanying graphics are available to use as would suit your interests.

Heck, many people can write stuff a lot better than my calloused hands.

Importantly, all the research is cited and verifiable.  This includes all the pdf files, government documents, FOIA outcomes and uploads to the SCRIBD account.   Take anything you want; thanks, sincerely, but no need to ask permission.  [Ex. FBI ARTICLE]

We are not going to save this republic by demanding or restricting information via self-important perspectives on citation or attribution. I simply do not care about such issues. Make it your own in whatever manner or format fits your interests.

The silo system is made up, in part, of: The National Security Council (10+ desks, 15 staff/analysts per), the National Security Advisor to the Office of the President, the Dept of Justice National Security Division [DOJ-NSD (foreign review section, counterintelligence export control section, cyber section, counterterrorism section)], Central Intelligence Agency [(CIA), National Intelligence Council, Directorate of Analysis], Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI (Counterintelligence, Counterterrorism, WMD Directorate, Directorate of Intelligence, Cyber)], the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [ODNI (Requirements, Analysis, Collection, National Counterterrorism Center, Mission Managers)], the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Dept of Defense [DoD, (Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, Industrial, International)], the National Security Agency [NSA (Operations, Technology, Cyber], and many more.

Each agency/office a silo, with distinct sub-silos, each with equity stakes in the information they gather, review and analyze; ultimately attributing classification level and intersecting analysis with each other agency as mission aligned.

Sound ridiculous? It probably is, yet I’ve merely scratched the surface of the IC networks and information flows that swirl around the Office of the President.

Now do you see why DNI Tulsi Gabbard is important?

Literally hundreds of embeds -across multiple silos- have been removed from the aggregate apparatus. The National Security Council has been taken apart, staff removed, desks shuttered. The National Intelligence Council was removed from the CIA with personnel fired. The Directorate of Analysis is now openly confronted. The ICIG is once again a watchdog.

This creates optimism that substantive change is possible. However, much more work lies ahead.

We maintain the voluminous reference library as a documented resource for everyone.  Please accept this thankful reminder with the expressed intent.

If you are brave enough to stand in front of the furnace, you have my full and unwavering support and appreciation.  You are simply considered my brother or sister.  It’s ok, just take it. Anything provided here at CTH is yours to take, whole or in part and make it your own.

This is how we ensure our small contribution to a much larger awakening.

Effective solutions require brutally accurate understanding.

…”There is no such thing as “disinformation” or “misinformation”.  There is only information you accept and information you do not accept.  You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.”… 

I will always work earnestly to be deserving of your fellowship. As new visitors attest every day, the fellowship in this commenting community is unique, aligned with a loving God, prayerful, insightful, articulate, intelligent and yes, funny.  I love you guys.

With humble appreciation and the warmest of regards,

Sundance

Remember, we are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance. We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal. We go to the places we know they will travel.  We have allies and resources inside the core of their machinery. We understand what and why everything is being constructed, and we share all the information we discover.  The truth isn’t mean; it’s just The Truth.  ~ Sundance

So.... all information is questionable but everything said here is ok? Is this the AI you spoke of? telling me to believe you? You sound like all religions... "trust in me, for I am the truth". Let me tell you a truth about something that is given to you, or you get for 'free'. If something is free it is 'worth what you paid for it'. Think about that for a minute while practice thinking for yourself.

This is the first of your posts in Destruction I wholeheartedly agree with! I was a kid when I found that out about roosters, scared the shit out of me.

[tr8er]

Me too.  That post is spot on for all religions and political leanings.  Objective truth in the aesthetic superiority of Datsun along with lasting power.  
 

and I live in Hawaii so I know far too well what Roosters are capable of.

Rooster went for me once, an outfit I worked for was hired to demo and outbuilding on a farm. I was taking off shingles with a square shovel and shoveling up ones that missed the truck. Rooster seemed to come out of nowhere, sort of hopping and hovering and going at me. Made me jump, no doubt, but I swatted him with the shovel and knocked his hopping ass down-Rooster lost interest. Boss tried to chew me, worried I would kill one of the farmer's pets with the shovel. I said "I don't take no shit from no rooster".

We are in disagreement about the facts. We are closer in terms of what is or what is not racism/prejudice. Those in support of open or loose controls on the border, strike me as more racist than those who wear white robes and burn crosses. Supporting immigration, because immigrants do work that you do not wish to do, is seeing them as "less than". I believe it is this belief that propelled and propels the desire to not assimilate, to hold fast to an imaginary, fantasy, culture, where an immigrant can be "more than" with respect and power, outside of the paradigm of America. Without regard to the country from whence they came, these immigrants are in no way beneficial to the United States of America, they are a cancer and must be cut out. 
You must check your blinders, my eyes have borne witness to the collateral carnage of "seasonal immigrant workers" ESL classes that drain the budgets of small towns, the added tax expenses for government services provided in two languages. There was one mexican focused bar in my home town, it wasn't advertised that way, but it was common knowledge, if you tried to order in english, it was tough to get service. There were more shootings and stabbings in that bar than in the entire rest of the State. 
The world has become a propaganda machine. Expensive apartments, condos and townhouses are sprouting up all over Boise and Idaho. Nobody I know can afford to live in them. "Older couples who sell their family homes, no longer wanting the upkeep hassles, buy them--they say, younger dual income no children power couples can afford the rent--they say. And I have seen some old couples (usually the move because they have been forced out of their family home by taxes) but I have seen some and I have seen some dual income no kids power couples, but for every one of the two aforementioned groups that I have seen, I see twenty or more new luxury apartments, condos and townhomes. The propaganda does not align with my reality. Yet, when my reality conflicts with propaganda, it is automatically assumed that I have misinterpreted my reality, or I am too stupid, because these numbers and those numbers mean what I think is reality certainly cannot be, or the most common, I am racist, bigoted, etc. 
There was a cheap/free health clinic the city would sponsor once a month, during the harvest it was ill advisable to go, as it was hard to get in, migrant farmworkers overfilled the clinic, some would line up the night before it opened. Like the expensive multi-family housing that is now the primary thing built in Idaho, propaganda about the hardworking immigrant family and like retired old couples and dual income power couples, I have met more than a few hardworking, great people who were seasonal farm workers and/or mexican immigrants. I worked the farms side by side with them. Again, for every outstanding immigrant worker, recently, I can point to ten, who cause trouble. It is no longer centralized in on bar, there are entire neighborhoods, with shops, bars, grocery where spanish is the standard. In all the bigger stores, english is still available if you speak it and if you look "white" it will be spoken to you, but spanish is the goto. 
Police and Fire jobs advertised in some areas of the State, specify "fluent in spanish" as necessary or preferred job requirement. 
I think this is wrong and bad for the United States. As politics becomes more segregated and States Rights become more defined, perhaps language is simply another ground for splitting. The United States to follow Europe and break into small countries, with no more influence on the world than anyone else.  
Dang, this is getting long and I haven't even addressed race. In a nut shell, I do use race as a criteria to pre judge individuals or groups, it is not the only criteria and often it is not the most important, but I believe stating the "you do not see color" is not only a lie, it is stupid. I will believe the appearance that one wishes to project. What you wear, how you carry yourself, your race, your speech define you. Movies, television, music videos, commonly understood culture signals, people are not stupid. If you mimic or embrace a type of persona, do not be offended and/or cry bigotry, when you are treated according to that persona. 
If you are an immigrant to America and yet appear and speak and fly the flag of a different country, do not be offended or cry bigotry when you are sent back to that country, when you violate a law of this country. It is only because the United States of America respects immigrants, many of whom do not respect the United States of America, that deportation only occurs to those who are in violation of a law.
I support cultural diversity, integration of festivals and holidays, but not cultural displacement. Assimilation, not segregation and that means there will be change of the original culture, but not displacement and not segregation. If you don't bother to understand english, then pretty please, with sugar on top, don't fucking more here and if you moved here with nothing and you are looking for hand outs, or jobs, or something from the United States of America and you still didn't learn the language then fuck off.

Did we win?! I have been on pins and needles, knowing my country is at war. I haven't slept. I check news updates a few times an hour, oh the humanity. Everybody I know is so concerned, it's all anyone talks about ...I guess it's back to kiddie diddlers. 

 

One more on Iran, can anyone provide a serious, legitimate, reason, why America doesn't own it buy now? We have payed for it, so many times that we would lose money if we tried to sell it. If  America needed to go in and spank Iran for building toys they are not allowed, then Iran is  responsible for the cost of the spank. Since, we have spanked them repeatedly, taking their oil for payment and letting Iran govern itself, will only create more poverty, more hate, and the cycle will just keep turning. America should foreclose Iran, install limited democracy, marshal law, and execution for knowing participation in terrorist activities or knowing of and failing to report terrorist activities. Iran would become a safe and profitable tourist location, religious leaders would randomly "disappear" and America would receive oil at an insane discount and maybe a cut of the profits when it is sold to other countries. There, I fixed the economy, strengthened the dollar, increased the security of the world and all it took was the good old fashioned imperialist balls, that made America great. As I keep saying the answer is for America to fuck somebody and not itself,  just like old times a.k.a. the good old times.

As oil prices soar and gas goes up, his proclamations that Iran is beat and begging to settle, increase also. Lying is a great way to reduce gas prices. Iran is beat but give me $200 million more to make sure. I need help from NATO. NATO says go fuck yourself with your tariffs poor attitude towards us and a war you started (and just said you won) and didn't even tell us about. Well I don't need your help then, forget I asked. Sending in troops that I said I would never do.
