Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source Anyway, according to Huntington, the new immigrants are "blurring the border between Mexico and America, introducing a very different culture, while also promoting the emergence, in some areas, of a blended society and culture, half-American and half-Mexican". Huntington is essentially saying that America must never abandon its original set of 16th century Anglo-Protestant values: and this "back to the roots" mode implies no immigration, protecting the English language and no secularism. Huntington, a professor of government at Harvard, has built a half-a-century career out of pitting the "good" (us) against "evil" (them) to the benefit of his American-ruling elite employers. www.atimes.com /atimes/Front_Page/FF23Aa03.html   (2307 words)
