Re: The Anole Wars

With anoles, it's only about physical characteristics. With human beings, it's much more about culture and ideas. If people think the society, government, philosophy and culture in Mexico is superior to what we have in America, that it results in greater freedom, prosperity and innovation than what we have in America, go for it.

If not, maybe we need to think about how to preserve some things that have worked pretty well for our nation over the past century or two, and not just let them be overrun.

If people are coming here to be Americans, great. If they're coming here to force America into their mold, we might have a problem.

The Oath of Naturalization:

^"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."^

Either this is real, or something to be winked at and tossed aside.
