Samuel Huntington tells it like it is
I recently re-read my well thumbed copy of The Clash of Civilizations. When one reflects upon the terrorist attacks that have occured since TCOF was first published, one sees just how spot-on Samuel Huntington's thesis was (is).
Huntington's now doing a little truth-telling in regard to immigration in the United States. A sample:
The unprecedented 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 form their own political and linguistic enclaves - from Los Angeles to Miami - and reject the Anglo-Protestant values that built the American dream. The reconquista of the United States has begun.
