Andrea,

It's the combination of the two. Taken together, I perceive it as an ideal that is less than American.

Kearney,

This is interesting.  So you are identifying two characteristics that 
engender hostility from the Right.

1)    illegal entry
2)    hyphenated Americans

How much overlap between the two categories?  For example:  
"Italian-American, legal entry."  or is it the hyphen itself that 
engenders hostility?

Kearney,


This is interesting.  So you are identifying two characteristics that
engender hostility from the Right.


1)    illegal entry

2)    hyphenated Americans


How much overlap between the two categories?  For example: 
"Italian-American, legal entry."  or is it the hyphen itself that
engenders hostility?
