ABSTRACT
Shortly After George W. Bush Reintroduced his guest worker proposal in December 2003, Harvard University professor Samuel P. Huntington published a detailed article on the historical and contemporary influences that Hispanics have on the United States. Critics immediately took aim, retorting that Huntington's fears of an emerging linguistic and cultural separatism constructed by Hispanics are unfounded and that, in the main, Mexican immigration simply represents the US immigration history. From London to Mexico City and Washington to Los Angeles, Samuel Huntington's article "The Hispanic Challenge", which appeared in Foreign Policy in 2004, was treated to a storm of criticism, supported by only a handful of readers. What is most evident from Huntington's musings on Western civilization is his allegiance to an imperialist world order that enjoyed its heyday in the early twentieth century but is in danger of momentous decline.
