Dear Editor:
Justin Randolph's letters continue his misleading comments
by erroneously stating that I had, "predicted a civil war due to the evils
of miscegenation" and remarkably equates a reasonable and entirely
objective advocacy of limited immigration to the strident views of the
KKK. The facts are that I have never commented upon the inter-marrying
of races and only mentioned that some views had been expressed that
excessive immigration and the resulting separatism could lead to civil
strife. Whether this strife results in a civil war or "mere"
Balkanization is not so important as the observation that the highly
touted benefits of a diverse society seem to break down when immigration
is excessive. If Mr. Randolph chooses to laugh and misconstrue comments,
I can only refer him to Ecclesiastes 7:3-6. It is also remarkable that
an immigration attorney could be ignorant or choose to remain oblivious
to excessive immigrations many negative effects and separatist movements such as the Black Panthers
or MEChA. MEChA is an acronym for Moviemiento Estudiantil Chicano de AZTLAN (Chicano Student
Movement). AZTLAN refers to the US southwestern states which MEChA
claims were stolen from Mexico (disclaiming the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, $15 million paid and other considerations), must be reconquered
(Reconquista) and reclaimed for Mexico. MEChA stridently advocates
separatism with the ultimate goal of revolution and the overthrow of the
US government. MEChA is a growing and increasingly militant presence
on university, high school and junior high school campuses. Typical of
their statements are, "The ultimate ideology is the liberation of
Aztlan", "We do not seek assimilation; we seek self-preservation of our
culture and language", "Chicanos have to get a lot more militant about
defending our rights", "This land is ours and always will be." "When the
people in this building don't listen to the demands of our community,
it's time to burn it down!" "You are living in Nazi U.S. We can't let
them take us to those intellectual ovens."
While the KKK has all but faded into oblivion, these groups have taken
its place. For Mr. Randolph to equate rational and objective
observations of this phenomenon to hate, venom and a KKK view, when
these groups actually are the modern day equivalents, is beyond being
disingenuous. The observations and concerns of millions of Americans as
typified by the following articles can not be ignored or dismissed as
Mr. Randolph would (mis)lead us to believe: "Allegiance --- Have We Thought About It"

http://www.diversityalliance.org/docs/article_2003jul04.html "Is Mexico Reconquering U.S. SouthWest?"
Mr. Randolph should know that I have just concluded a lengthy construction
project with a Latino friend, working very harmoniously together with
future projects pending.
