I think I've mentioned before that there's another misdirection going on here, too. And I hope to show that the damage has *not* already been done.
Hispanic migrants have been coming to the US literally forever. It's the core of what the 1943 zoot suit riots were about in LA. I don't see how that's functionally different from today except in scale. Damned migrants are un-American, wearing their large suits when there's a war on and that fabric could have been used in a more patriotic manner.
That was 81 years ago.
It's been 20 years since I was explaining to the dipshit protowoke boomer girlboss at church that it makes zero sense to emulate megachurches that get 1000 attending one service when there's a Roman Catholic church just down the road that seats 800 had has to have 7 masses every weekend, if attendance is your goal, anyway (we can all see now it wasn't). I'm under no illusions about who it was who made up most of the attendance of those masses back then, and I'm under no illusions about who makes up the attendance now.
I also realize what happened over the last 8 years with Hispanics in this country, politically. There are critical masses of them that are actually not OK with their free public school encouraging their daughters to cut their tits off. The ones that I know, and I know several, are at worst slightly right of center on just about every issue now.
Most of them are not here to cause damage. They're not here to foment revolution. They realize things were fucked up in their home country and can absolutely be reasoned with and brought to a position where what happened in the home country won't happen here. Provided, of course, that you don't start the conversation by saying "GTFO".
In contrast, I now have two mosques within walking distance of my house. I live in Northern VA, in one of the oldest parts of the country, which is also an area where the wealthiest are all government employees who need clearances, so the muslims who are going to these mosques have nothing to do with either national or local culture.
I also see regular reports of what is going on in the UK and Ireland and Sweden. The shenanigans they're up to as a group there are actually cause for concern - and if Hispanics were doing this sort of thing, I'd probably be on the same page as you.
But they're not. Hispanics aren't setting up special schools to teach their children to hate the indigenous - they're falling victim to the same public school nonsense everyone else is.
Hispanics aren't throwing city-wide celebrations of non-Christian holidays: they're celebrating the same holidays, but in ways that country-club Christians don't appreciate.
Hispanics aren't instituting their own legal systems and spurning the one that is supposed to be in effect. They aren't committing acid attacks or murdering women on the street for cultural reasons that are supported by the larger community.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople. It was a textbook case of what these political agitators (because Islam isn't a religion, it's a political system) do when they come into town: they use force to get their way. And I'm living it in microcosm right now: there's a rich Muslim down the street who is defying the county in order to punch a hole through the woods to one of the mosques so he can drive 1/4 mile to get to prayers instead of having to go around and drive a whole mile. He doesn't care what the rules are - he makes the rules.
This is what *I* am living and what I wish people would recognize. I don't see any problem with HIspanics as a group that doesn't boil down to cherry picking stories from millions of people. I cannot get excited about a surplus of taco trucks around town when I know they're all nominal Christians that I can reason with. I do get anxious when I think about the other invasion that nobody is paying attention to - the one where they're coming through the front door in exactly the manner everyone says Hispanics should do, particularly because I can see what they're doing in other countries. That is the damage that matters, and we still have time to prevent it.
