When it comes to immigration, places like Greeley show just how deep the divide is

GREELEY — When Joy Breuer looks around her hometown, she sees two kinds of immigrants: “the good Mexicans” and “the Latinos.”

By her definition, good Mexicans “come to America to become U.S. citizens, become a part of the community. They work very hard to learn the language. They show a lot of respect to everyone as well. They just want to be an American.”

The Latinos? “The Latinos are here to establish another Mexico,” she said. “That was their goal: to make Spanish the second language — and then the first language — of this country.”

Breuer, who runs the Greeley for God ministry, stands at one end of the polarized debate about the millions of people who have streamed across the southern border of the United States in search of a better life.

From the office she calls “God’s House” to presidential campaign stops across the country, the debate over immigration policy has taken on a harsh tone. It has been particularly heated in the West, where Rocky Mountain states have witnessed a huge surge in immigrants and Colorado U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo made illegal immigration the centerpiece of his now-ended presidential campaign.

"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."
