u know i have no problem with the ones that do it the right way and become citizens. but today that's not what happing today for one because we are not making the nm do it any more. my great grand parents immigrated from Germany and they had to know English before they became citizens but it's not like that any more if u go to read the instructions they are written in both English and Spanish. and have u called your phone company here as of late they have a separate thing for Spanish. Even menus are written in Spanish and our kids have to know Spanish before they can even graduate high school now. plus most of them are paid under the table so no taxes paid form them so that kills our economy as well.plus they want to give them welfare so why should they want to become citizens when they don't have to learn the language any more or pay taxes.

Dude,
I don't know what it takes to make people wake up. Try and say something about this illegal alien problem, and the Mexicans have you suppressed right away by calling you a racist. They are real good at lies and confusing what is immigration with illegal entry so people get confused. "You are against us? Why? You are all immigrants" But they leave out the part that we came here legally and assimilated, and became Americans. It's disgusting to see my country overrun by these people that don't care about our language, culture or flag. It's disgusting to know that these "hard working" people are on welfare. 33% of them. Then they tell me they do the jobs we won't do. More lies. They do the jobs that we can't afford to do unless we want to sleep on a dirt floor. I've shoveled crap, I've worked in a fish plant, I've worked in a lead plant. Whatever it takes. I think the worst part is all the lies. It's like getting your country stolen from you and lied to at the same time. They think we are all stupid, but you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time. Their free rein days are numbered. Wait till their buddy George is gone. It will fly then. Bi-partisanship shartitizenship. The next president will do something. You watch!

F*ck yeah! It should be mandatory for immigrants to learn English before issuing citizenship! If you think about it, it's actually disrcimanatory against every other language we don't accomadate. Since English is the dominant language, it should be required to know! Their should be a law stating English as our official language too.

Mexico is a festering hole, and our country is being deliberately combined with Mexico, that's kind of what it seems to boil down to. Se habla espanol!, And, if you don't, better learn muy pronto, because 20 years' worth of gross negligence(deliberate?) has delivered unto the american public what amounts to a fait accompli, a done deed, and the people profiting by the entire arrangement are laughing all the way to the bank. Be sure to vote!

You can ignore Spanish-speaking people if you want to, but that won't change the simple fact that they are here. Since there is no official language in the U.S., legal Spanish-speaking residents and citizens have as much right to have their language used as do English speakers. A business that is in an area with a high concentration of Spanish-speakers (or any other language) would be pretty silly NOT to do business in that language. Unless your language is being ignored (and obviously that's not happening), what's your gripe? Spanish-speakers' money is green just like yours, and businesses want it, so get used to it.

Heck yes, I am sick of it.
If the Congress would allow us to invest a portion of our Social Security we would be a lot better off. Most folks would have quite a bit of wealth and would live independent of the government, and there in lies the problem. Congress want you to depend on them. By allowing ILLEGALS to mooch off the taxpayer yet again, Hillary wants to build a new class of people who depend on big brother. Dig down deep in your pockets because it is going to get ugly. All the more reason the guardsmen on the border need to shoot.

If you are going to put it in Spanish, you have to put it in every language. The problem is that we refuse to adopt a national language in fear of it somehow curbing our teaching of foreign languages. This is ridiculous as you see in many countries with national languages in which learning of other languages is mandatory.
Also, as far as I know it is only required to have two years of any language to get into most colleges, but things could have changed in the last few years.

Nothing's going to change buddy, sorry. I'm against it too but there's too many mexicans speaking spanish already in this country, Especially here in Texas
Any kind of change at this point would require a race war, and I don't think anyone in America really wants that. Too many of us are befriending/marrying mexicans.

i believe that is fair enough to ask for. Speak the language of the country you're living in. BUT, you have to remember, when people first came to the America, we did not speak the native language either, we were intruders too.
