Entry: Are New Immigrants Assimilating? Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/are_new_immigrants_assimilating#26334 Post contents: I'm one of those chirpers who frequents LRC. First of all, at LRC, there are a good share of closed border types there. "The community apparently doesn’t exist..." Well there are some of us "open border" types who recognize community, continuity, and tradition. Just look at all the border towns with artificial lines drawn by none other than the modern nation state, particularly along the Mexican border. I posit that the Medieval world would have been more accepting of a more open situation between El Paso-Juarez, Nogales-Nogales, and San Diego-TJ. Let's not forget that the Mexican war did its share to obliterate community, as with the Gadsden Purchase [Santa Anna and the modern Mexican state did its share as well.] Sent at: 2008 10 13
