Ranchera music blares from the Happy Dollar Plus store as a vendor pushes his cart along 26th Street, selling mango-flavored frozen treats to parched customers. The intersection of 26th and Pulaski is in the core of the Windy City, but by sights, sounds and smells, it could be in any town in Mexico. This is La Villita, "Little Village," where about 100,000 people live and work, maintaining the Spanish language, traditions and culture of Mexico. As President Bush and others call for assimilation of Latino immigrants, some Hispanics in La Villita and other parts of the country, including North Texas, are on what could be a collision course, pushing to be fully binational, with equal rights in Mexico and the United States and grounded in both societies. "We're never giving up our Mexican roots," said Maria Cantu-Dougala, assistant vice president of Second Federal Savings and an American citizen. "I still consider myself Mexican. That's where we're so different from other immigrants. We just can't give it up." Such views complicate any efforts to change immigration policy to make it easier for Mexicans to live and work in the United States, and could even result in harsher migration measures, some analysts and lawmakers say. The United States must avoid "balkanization" and has to maintain its national identity, common culture and common English language "or we will follow the path to the ash heap of history like the Roman Empire," said Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas. "Arrogant nationalistic attitudes like this, which are blatant violations of American law, along with the uncontrolled mass migration and marching with Mexican flags have combined to push this country over the tipping point in favor of aggressive immigration law enforcement and strict border security," said Culberson, who has criticized White House immigration policy as lax. Migration expert Jonathan Fox said there is a double standard on dual nationality in the United States. "I don't see them worrying about U.S. citizens fighting in the Israeli army... The rest of the story: http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/mo...n/15766627.htm Fox is right about Israel, they have spied on us, they have attacked us, and we still give them 2 billion dollars a year, and all the military aid they need. The United States should not allow dual citizenship, and when someone proudly proclaims to be a dual citizen with any other country, they should be removed from the United States, and spend the rest of their life in that country.
