The United States of Latin America?

James Pinkerton makes an interesting observation:

...as larger numbers of people come here from Latin America, the likelihood that Latin-style politics will be imported rises, too. The left-wing demagogue Hugo Chávez is popular in Venezuela, and others like him are winning elections across the Southern Hemisphere. Closer to our border, Mexico is legalizing the possession of substantial quantities of drugs - not just marijuana, but cocaine, heroin and Ecstasy. Do most Americans want to import those sorts of values into their country?
