"The Hispanic Challenge", a 12-page excerpt fromHarvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington declares Hispanics, Mexicans specifically, are a cause for concern to all real red-blooded Americans. It seems to be an intellectual piece. But you soon realize Huntington's arguments are circularand his data refutes his own conclusions! Don't waste time reading the 12 pages of propaganda. I've done the reading for you.His opening paragraph: The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages. Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexicans and other Latinos have not assimilated... rejecting the Anglo-Protestant values that built the American dream. The U.S. ignores this challenge at its peril.
His next to last paragraph: The transformation of the United States... would not necessarily be the end of the world; it would, however, be the end of the America we have known for more than three centuries. Americans should not let that change happen unless they are convinced that this new nation would be a better one. Huntington's last paragraph is a real doozy! Keep reading and you'll see!
In a nutshell, this article says: There are so many Mexicans, ummm, Hispanics that they are taking over- our culture. They are a threat to what it means to be an "American". Therefore they must be urged to assimilate or else they must be stopped, especially that Spanish chatter, or America, as we know it for the last couple of hundred years, will be changed FOREVER!
