Noted bigot and MSNBC regular Pat Buchanan has a new column out this morning bemoaning the incivility of soccer fans. Not just any soccer fans, mind you, but the backers of the Mexican national soccer team in their match against Team USA this past weekend for the Gold Cup championship in Pasadena (Mexico won 4-2). As Buchanan sees it, the boos that greeted Team USA from the Mexican soccer fans are proof positive that Mexicans just don't belong in America:

What does this event, in which [Los Angeles Times sports columnist Bill] Plaschke estimates 80,000 fans in the Rose Bowl could not control their contempt for the U.S. team and for the U.S. national anthem, tell us?

We have within our country 12- to 20-million illegal aliens, with Mexico the primary source, and millions of others who may be U.S. citizens but are not truly Americans. As one fan told Plaschke, “I was born in Mexico, and that is where my heart will always be.”

Perhaps he should go back there, and let someone take his place who wants to become an American.

By 2050, according to Census figures, thanks to illegals crossing over and legalized mass immigration, the number of Hispanics in the U.S.A. will rise from today's 50 million to 135 million.

Say goodbye to Los Angeles. Say goodbye to California.

Soccer fans behaving disrespectfully? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say! A rational person would point out that a) soccer fans are, by and large, jerks; and b) Mexico treats soccer as a sort of religion whereas Americans tend to regard it with disinterested contempt, which would account for the fan imbalance at last weekend's game. More importantly, the impolite behavior of a few thousand people at a soccer match is not an indictment of the broader Mexican-American community.

Unless, of course, you don't like Mexicans in the first place and are just grasping for confirmation of your prejudice. Viewed through that lens, rowdiness at a soccer match is reason enough to tell all those un-American Mexico fans to go back where they came from.
