Heroes of Mexico: Coming Soon to a Park Near You

Human Events reports:
The Mexicanization of the Southwestern United States has taken another step forward with the announcement of “La Rotonda de los Mexicanos Ilustres” -- a rotunda featuring the “Heroes of Mexico” in a Dallas city park.

Under a plan being coordinated by the city of Dallas along with community leaders and the Mexican Consul-general, Dallas’ Winnetka Park will soon be a place where Mexicans can come to pay tribute to statues and busts of past Mexican presidents, poets and other historical figures.

Perhaps this should not be surprising. Dallas is home to a burgeoning Hispanic population and a school district in which two of every three students are Spanish-speaking or not fluent in English. And with the lack of any requirement to assimilate, it’s no wonder that many Mexican immigrants are more interested in paying homage to President Benito Juarez than to George Washington.
English speaking heroes aren't for everyone.You'd know that if majored in some oppression study.No word yet on whether NewsAlert will come out in Spanish.We tend to doubt though because the jerk that runs NewsAlert isn't too good with foreign languages.
