Through the story, one presumes an inference that America is largely Caucasian and African-American together battling Hispanics from pushing their way into a land of so much milk, honey, and manna that eternal generations of earth in total could live off it...in other words, that Hispanics are coming into the USA to partake of easy living had by all but the scurviest, lilliputian losers, and the non-Hispanics are simply greedy and jealous, or words in such nature.

Now, we all know that world migration including Hispanic is NOT run by everyday Americans, Hispanics, or anyone else; in fact, as the International Organization for Immigration, for example, says at http://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/about-iom/lang/en , even FORCED immigration is part of its routine around the world...and not just for the Western Hemisphere (or Eastern Hemisphere alone, for that matter). It's IOM and UN types to which even the USA government conforms all its policies on immigration and health care, inter alia.

Thus, Hispanics usually hope for the same kind of lives they've been promised by IOM types, but continue to be singled out as the only transborder immigrants in North or South America. That's not true, and more importantly, it makes no sense to say Jesus/God is for the IOM way of forcing migration to the USA or elsewhere, apparently on Christian inferential canard IOM represents "leaders whom God has appointed"...thus the psychology of peculiar clergy actually allowed by governments to stay open that if one questions end results of Hispanic or other even forced migration, they oppose God's holy will and are racists or nationalists or otherwise have cooties.

Well then, "God" appointed once all at the same time FDR, Churchill, Hitler, Tojo, and Adolf Hitler; how was it possible that a "good Christian" could oppose any of them on any side of world war II? Ah, of course! That pesky use of autonomous facts that reasoned Hitler and pals weren't doing too much in the positive interest of all humanity! So maybe even God or Jesus would expect "their" leaders and representatives to have a purpose better than just being in charge for all people...like I, many people, many Muslims, and even the USA government say against folks like bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Iran's President. 

So maybe the issue isn't "get more Hispanics here STAT!!!!!!" as if gold awaits them, but why having so many Hispanics and others here for years hasn't advanced security in home ownership, ability to conduct a trade or have a job, broader civil liberties, increased participation in education or the humanities, and so on for either immigrants or nationals; and how will merely using Hispanics to smack down critics of IOM groups improve the audacity of hope within the USA or any immigrant's homeland?

By the way...how are land rights in Mexico today, and how much cheer have Castro and Chavez been sprinkling throughout Latin America?
