Thanks for your thoughts, and trying to destroy my opinion point by point, no offense but I guess it's pointless trying to explain a cause to someone who seems to take for granted what their ancestors fought for. Maybe you'll understand what I was talking about in 2108 when Hispanics will have made you a minority in your own house. Congress and some States have already started talking about defending the english-language, US heritage and identity... you'll see soon enough where this leads and get to respect it. Anyways like you said I got representation, there are 2 established pro-independence parties here (federal & provincial) I vote for and support. Representation in government is one thing, representation as a people on the world stage is another. You need both.
