Might as well start writing your congress-persons and demand a bill for English as the official language.

What happened to the idea of becoming an American, and learning to speak English? 
To become an American, you should at least try to assimilate and adapt to your adopted country, not the other way around. 
If being an American is not what you want, why did you bother to come here?

What has made America great was the inclusion of all imagrants into our fabric.
The assimilation of those from other countries that wanted to shed the laws of the old country and imbrace the laws, freedom and oppertunities that our system allows.  While putting their cultural twist on the customs and holidays.
I always ask what people put on their Holiday tables and see what is different from my familes.
The Problem I see is we have lost the want to be included.  We have lost the want to be an American.  Many of the immagrants from the South just want to work here and take as much money south as they can and do not care about our laws, customs, or the freedoms.  Others think the US and the tax payers owe them and that since we have so much, we should give some to them.
And some how we are exporting the capitalist system with our money.
When the founding fathers talked about a new world order the freedoms and opertunities that the representitive republic offer as opposed to the dictatorships, class systems, and the war lords of the rest of the world.
Some how the left, the democrats, and the Green Morons have lost the idea that the American people and private industry can settle the problems and needs of the people rather than  government and more government making laws that restrict, tax, fee and fine those same answers to our problems out of existance.

GO down to Mexico and tell them that they need to read you, your rights.  That the 1st amendment allows you to fly the American flag in Mexico on the 4th of July, Memorial Day, or Flag Day.  They will laugh at you and throw you in Jail for breaking their laws.
Why should we corupt our system and coulture for them?  Mean while I have seen Stickers on the back of cars in So Cal with Chivas the Mexican Goat Urinating on the American Flag.  He got out of the gas station before I could flaten him and all four of his tires.
Does your silly Idea mean that we should print all forms and teach all classes in school in what ever city someone settles and make that town go through the expense of hiring a teacher in that language, translating any and all city, state and federal forms as well as utlilty forms into what ever language so they do not have to assimilate.

A woman in lou lost her son to murder. She was ordered  deported 2x by a federal judge in 1996. Instead she chose to laugh at our laws and hide. She let the kid run all day, 5 yrs old. Neighbors said they would take him in and feed him. The libbys whined about the poor innocent illegal, she stayed. After living here on welfare over 14 years she still spoke through an interpreter. Her son would be alive if she had obeyed the law. The father was also a criminal like her, he was in jail. SHIP EM OUT. BTW. She had her son buried in I believe guatamala, said she didn't want him buried in American soil.  POWDERMAN.  >:( >:(

Unfortunatly.
At the end of the street on most Saturdays we have these idiots that dress in black and hold up signs of how many have died in the war on terror.  Their number are very inflated till you realize they are holding the terrorists that have died and not our brave soldiers.
I once went into the drug store they stand infront of and got a poster board and wrote my own sign and stood with them.
It read "We can end the war when we win the war and these morons are prolonging the war and helping the terrorists"
I got honks  they left.
I live in crazy northern CA where we have safe haven cities that dis obey the law.  If I were ever ellected Gov.  I would arrest the mayors that have the safe haven cities and cut off all funding from the state till they follow the state and federal laws including the immagration laws.

I’m only a third generation immigrant. My grandparents on my mother’s side came from Poland as youths. They knew each other in Poland, separate families moved here, then they met again and got married. One strict rule of both sets of my great grandparents was WE NOW LIVE IN AMERICA AND WE WILL SPEAK ENGLISH. My grandparents started speaking English at 3 or 4 years old, and with in just a few short years, they basically had forgotten how to speak Polish. That’s the way it should be.

Basically same story for my Italian grandparents. They went to school in America to learn how to speak English. They were bilingual. Speaking Italian at home and among other Italians, but spoke English when out in public. They could also read and write in English. They were proud to be American and worked very hard to fit in to the American way of life.

No reason not to be able to speak English. My grandparents had very little education , if any, and were able to do it. That's because they wanted to.

The vast majority of them most assuredly DO NOT want to be Americans and even more revolting, they do not want to "just live here."

They are here for the freebies that the taxpayers are paying for!  And remember, most people don't pay any income taxes any more.  Go into just about any hospital emergency room, look around, and see all the "immigrants"!  Go into just about any social services office, look around and see all the "immigrants"!  Lined up for the freebies!   And if they don't get what they think they are entitled to,  they'll be protesting and raising their damned flag after ripping mine down.  Or sending some bastard to testify on their behalf before our elected representatives in a foreign language.  The guy could speak English..  he chose not to!  In your face gringos!!  How 'bout a few more sanctuary cities??  And even more freebies !
