These are not rioters fighting to stay in the adopted nation they now call home, but foreign invaders who have claimed our nation as their own.

"These riots pose a crucial and fundamental question for Americans: Do we have a nation? We ought to. We have a Constitution and thousands of legal documents and court rulings — not to mention hundreds of years of our ancestors’ blood, sweat, tears, and toils — that all say we have a nation. But whether or not we have a nation de jure, the response to L.A. will decide whether or not we have a nation de facto."
