^ Sorry about the typos I'm on my phone. |
not anymore the world has grown 'smaller' Children of immigrants can skype to grandparents and relatives back home, fly for the holidays, watch movies in their native language. Many attend Saturday classes to maintain their own language. This is a good thing. America needs speakers of other languages |
IGNORANT!!!!!
|
My DH speaks Spanish and is legal. His family only speak Spanish when they are all together. They are all legal. |
Wut the..? How come they got English AND Mexican here on this computer? America is for ENGLISH ONLEY!!
GAME OVER DOODZ!!! GAME OVER!!! ***breaks down sobbing*** |
Sorry, people aren't "illegal". Any more than people who exceed the speed limit are "illegals".
We've got plenty of room in the US. We should be encouraging more immigration, not less. Especially given that the people who manage to make it here are usually more resourceful and hard-working than any native born American. This is how we refresh our entrepreneurial blood. |
All I can say to Republicants is to make nice with Hispanics or prepare to lose over and over again. Maybe not this election, but it's coming. |
Not if they remain illegal and are not granted amnesty, ohhhhh snAp |
You don't seem to make nice with ANY of them, ooooh screwed! |
Where the white women at? |
OP,
I grew up in the midwest. White. Mothers side can be traced back to the Mayflower. Yippee skippy. I learned Spanish and French, but not well enough to be fluent. I've traveled to over 15 other nations on every continent but Antarctica. Every other country I've been to has signs in multiple languages. Their people can easily speak 3-5 other languages. WTF crawled up your butt that made you think the US should be English only? And why do you think other nations only speak one language, because it clearly is not true. FWIW, the reason I don't speak French or Spanish fluently is because I was never able to practice it outside of the classroom. Having more speakers of other languages gives students more opportunities to practice their new skills. |
OP, maybe you should check out that most of our Presidents were multi-lingual.

The need to glorify one's language, one's country, one's religion shows what: patriotism and self-confidence or a severe sense of insecurity? |
The republicans in Florida and border states kick ass at pandering to people of hispanic descent. |
Only Florida and Texas. And Texas is going to lose ground with them due to this redistricting fight. It screws Hispanics over. |
