What Next? A Latino Pledge Of Allegiance?
The latinos in favor of the illegal alien invasion from Mexico have a new "Star-Spanglish Banner" to be released Monday. The song will be a bastardized U.S. National Anthem.
This from AP:
Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi, Puerto Rican reggaeton star Don Omar and other Latino artists have recorded a bilingual version of the U.S. national anthem in a show of support for migrants in the United States.
The Latino-oriented record label Urban Box Office (UBO) said Friday it would put the new Spanish-English version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the market Monday to coincide with the U.S. Senate’s debate on immigration legislation.
Congressional debate over immigration bills proposing everything from toughened border security to the legalization of undocumented migrants in America have triggered huge demonstrations across the United States in recent weeks.
"We decided to re-record ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ to show our solidarity with the undocumented migrants," said UBO President Adam Kidron. "Today we are Americans and ‘The-Star Spangled Banner’ represents everything to us."
The recording, dubbed "Nuestro Himno" or "Our Anthem," is set to "urban Latino rhythms" but respects the song’s traditional structure, UBO said in a news release. Each artist decided whether to sing in Spanish or English.
The "Nuestro Himno" record will be sold for $10, with a portion going to Washington-based National Capital Immigration Coalition, UBO said. Besides Trevi and Don Omar, other artists on the record are Ivy Queen, Reik, Voz a Voz, Franco De Vita and Kalimba.
The record company said the lyrics would be released on Sunday.
The release of my lyrics are here today. A long refrain of "Go Back To Mexico Where You Belong!"

Would mexicans like their national anthem in English? I think not!
Here is one possible version, if you know the music:
Mexican Anthem in English
All these Mexicans crossing the border
‘cause their country will give them no jobs.
Rio Grande or Tijuana will do it,
On their way to Chicago or L.A.
Rio Grande or Tijuana will do it,
On their way to Chicago or L.A.
Choir
Viva Mexico why do I shout,
When I had to come here to earn pesos
Shouldn’t I sing the US anthem in English?
If I badly do want to stay here.

I can’t believe that some of the artist form PR have done this when they are well received in this country. Right at this moment I feel embarrased to be Boricua.

Why is the Star-Spangled Banner in Spanish a problem?
According to a recent Harris Interactive survey of American men and women 18 and older, 61% don’t know all of the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

The Star Spangled Banner was sung in Spanish, and the Pleadge was pleadged in Spanish when my mother was a school girl in Puerto Rico over 50 years ago. It is nothing new. There is nothing particularly American about the English language, or the Spanish language for that matter. But it is easy to see why so many have trouble with it right now: For them patriotism is just another bigotry, and it is being pointed at Mexico. I guess this means that they will only be able to go after the undocumented French-Canadians…
