in essence, he calls it “anglo-Protestant” culture

 
and asks

 
what if French, Spanish or Portuguese Catholics settled the US??

Would the US be a carbon copy of the rest of Latin America?

How does the political culture of Latin America differ from that of the US??

Gives the typical smattering of statistics about how the US is becoming a nation of two competing cultures

one WASP, one Hispanic

Why?  Why, according to Huntington, is the US becoming a bifurcated society today?

Contiguity

Scale

Illegality

Regional Concentration

Persistence of the Wave

Historical Presence

Is it possible that Huntington is being alarmist (nativist???)??

Why should we be worried about becoming a dual society??
