I am not at all racistist but I will admit I had an incendent that happend the other day and it ticked me off. I went to a restaurant called A & W. Their motto was something like an all american restaurant. Well to be honest it wasn't so american. I spent 15 Min trying to get the cashier to understand that I wanted a chili cheese dog no onion with fries. He couldn't speak a lick of english. Now I can understand if I was at a mexican restaurant like taco bell. But this was an all american restaurant. I should not have to sit there and take Spanish classes on how to order an american hot dog. Am I going over board or are we really getting run over by mexicans.

I have to agree with you, while it is true this country was built on immigrants. I myself have great grandparents from isreal, ireland and russia. However, I dont understand why employers hire people who can't comprehend enough english to do their job, which in your case would be understanding how to take a order for a hot dog. The problem here isn't that they are of a different race, because none of us gets bothered by people who are of a different race but speak normal american english. The problem is that all these immigrants come here and don't conform to our society they dont speak english very well, and drive like idiots. I'm sorry but if you want to speak your own non-english language don't come here.

Taken over is a little strong, though I understand where you're coming from. If you're going to hire someone to do customer service, they should at least speak the language of the land fluently.

I think the USA is changing though, not being taken over.

Live in New York City for 2 months, and you'll encounter this all the time. New Yorkers are used to it, and they've made learning a foreign language a requirement in many states.

I totally get your frustration, but with businesses being run by many immigrants, I don't see this changing any time soon. Even though Bush verbally said "they need to learn English", he has not enacted a single law to require English to be taught to foreigners. So, it's a lot of talk.

Sorry for the bad experience at that restaurant though.

The political agenda that US citizens are being forced to swallow is all about votes. Our totally corrupt government including most D's and R's deemed it wise to allow the Mexican invasion of the USA in order to get their votes to stay in office, and the CC-(Catholic Cult) supports the invasion as well due to most Mexicans being so-called Catholics, of which would fill the pews in US churches, thus put a few more coins in the basket to help pay for the lawsuits of the child raping priests. Let me add to that the communists are in favor and behind the scenes waving in the illegal aliens as well, because they know it will be devastating to the US economy. With that said, here's what I do when confronted by such a problem as you experienced: Demand an English speaking clerk and the manager, Boycott the invaded restaurant or business, and make sure you tell as many people as you can how crummy the invaded establishments/s were.

I live in Canada (born and raised here and love it). We have both English and French as official languages but not everybody speaks both languages. It depends on where you live. Most speak English, while a large minority speak French. Some people are bilingual. While I don't think you're being overrun by Mexicans, I can understand your frustration in trying to be understood in English especially since it is the main language in the U.S. When people are hired for jobs, they should be able to speak the main language properly.

Taco Bell is an American resturant.

America is made from immigrants and the children of immigrants unless you happen to be of Native American heritage.

You are a twit.

There may be: Matt. 14:10: "And for the ones that don't welcome you, or desire to listen to your phrases, then go away from that residence or the town and shake off the filth out of your ft." We are now not on my own. There are only a few Mayberrys left on this nation. The immigrants have arrived and now not all even think in God, permit on my own the Christian definition of Jesus. Even foreigners are purchasing up our vacant and financial institution-owned houses. Food pantries are changing eating places, shelters are housing complete households. Arguing approximately prayer in public faculties which can be full of kids from each tradition, race and faith isn't a well alternative, while children which can be arrive desiring a breakfast and prayers is not going to fill their stomachs. The immigrants coming are from all categories and plenty of are authentic. Our residents have got to compete for the identical jobs a foreigner will gladly take for much less pay or even volunteer to paintings extra hours. While they mounted housework, they want houses, faculties and markets. In a few cities, the immigrants developed a small group for his or her humans, to not be remoted, however to discover normal floor and nearby locations of worship. It does not subject in which we go away, they transfer in too. They seem for the identical matters we do, the American dream as a lot of our ancestors did. So, we now have faculties of their group districts, they pay taxes too and now not all of Muslims construct their possess faculties, so the few that should not have the possibility additionally take potential of our academic approach, for what its valued at. Now, you'll discover effectively, faculties in which Fundamental Christian kids are the minority. They proportion seats with Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Roman Catholics, Russian Orthodox, Mormons or even an atheist youngster. Just which prayer might you introduce? What approximately prayers to Allah or Krishna? Prayer is an overly well notion, however is that this the one manner a youngster gets any religious spice up? What are their households doing and in which do they worship? The institution books are already censored to mirror an All-American WASP best. I have not !discovered person who tells the truly tale of the Native Americans, permit on my own approximately the Spanish-American War that began over not anything. Our nation is so fearful of telling it like we particularly reside right here and all over the world, our youngsters can't compete for our possess faculties. Where will we position for schooling with different global powers? Very low certainly. That is why such a lot of immigrants and residents from different cultures open their possess. They look to have seize what a youngster demands to outlive in existence and incorporate their devout practices as good. When I used to be younger (historic historical past), I went to a institution in a small group in which humans simplest got here to the town as soon as per week. Many lived hours from the middle of the town. Only the kids had been bused in everyday. So a option to the starvation for meals and faith grew to be a sizzling matter. There had been no everyday prayers or studying from the Bible. They solved the particular predicament of what we might use in these days. The institution day used to be longer, every morning the kids got here obtained sizzling oatmeal. For lunch, there used to be a vegetarian soup served with hot bread for all kids. No one used to be requested if that they had the money or singled out as being too deficient to convey lunch. If you had your possess from residence, so be it. In the afternoon, the kids had been furnished a work of fruit or cookies earlier than they boarded the bus for his or her lengthy distance residence. What used to be much more particular, Wednesday afternoons had been for faith schooling. Rooms had been mounted for the Catholics, study rooms for the opposite religions and people who had been contributors of the protestant church, walked a block to it. Those that professed being atheist, obtained a additional magnificence in artwork. This labored. No one faith stepped at the ft of others or denied a character of another notion to invite for his prayer to be mentioned. Can this be performed in these days? I doubt it. Too many missionaries desire to name the pictures. Too many editions of even the Christian Bible factors fights. Will I am worried approximately different disorders, I am concerned there will probably be even fewer faculties with just one faith within the the town and the prayer obstacle will dominate over the monetary one. I wish and pray that we will use our prayers to support others discover paintings, houses and meals, and the church buildings like yours, include the humans that want support, with meals and beauty. Good good fortune.
