I have huge problem with some foriegnors that come to the U.S. They come here want our freedoms but don't respect our laws or our citizens. They want us to learn their language instead of learning ours. They want us to cater to their beliefs and their religions but, they complain about ours. DAMN IT their in our country. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT! If they want all that get the HECK OUT!!!! What do you think?

Many of these 'foreigners' wish to come to the United States because of policies and actions taken by the United States and European nations within their country that has made it extremely difficult to survive and prosper within their home country. In fact, many if not most, wish to come to the U.S. to study and save money before returning home.
Secondly, english speakers are not the only people in the world. The United States is in the minority of nations around the world where the people only know one language. With globalization and the rising economic powers of India and China and Russia growing increasing independent of the US and Europe, if we do not begin to learn other languages, we will fall behind.
Thirdly, I agree with you - if people wish to live in the United States and benifit from it, they need to obey the laws and contibute as much as any citizen. They need to be able to speak english and allow that others may have beliefs and religions but they need to respect the right that the Constitution gives to all of us to express them freely.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that things are rarely as black and white as they might seem

Use,,,a few,,, frikkin,,, commas,,, dude. And spell "you're" or "your" or "ur" English correctly, if you wish for THOSE "foriegnors" to learn and love it as much as you.
Teach yourself a few things about your own language and country, if you are so proud of America and your heritage.

It's not "your" country or "our" country anyway, since the Native American Tribes were fine until the White People came from Europe.

If you already knew that, then why was it acceptable for White People to disrespect the Native Americans' freedom, LANGUAGES, laws, beliefs, values and human equality?

The Native Americans DiD have these factors in their communities, BEFORE the White People came. They also were not savages or stupid.

Your entire statement is based on your experience, or lack of exposure.
-YOU have the huge problem. That is the only fact.
Unless freedom counts, but it's not your freedom, there is plenty of freedom to go around. ;)

Everything else is generalized and stereotypical...

-They don't respect our laws or citizens.
.......neither do American murderers, rapists, or criminals.

-They want us to learn their language instead of ours.
.......many of them do work hard at learning English,
.......many Americans can confuse an accent with language.
.......many Americans may complain about teaching English.
.......if you want them to speak English, maybe you could TELL them to "learn English" then EXPLAIN how they should start.

-They want us to cater to their beliefs and their religions, but they complain about ours.
.......Catholicism? Bahai? Hinduism? Buddhism? Islam?
.......does every-single "foreigner" identify their personality with religion?
.......what is "our" religion? My personality has no room for it?
.......So are Americans Jewish or Christian? Scientology?
.......Beliefs are defined through individual personality. It's impossible to make a list of all possible beliefs.
.......If forbidden pork is a "belief", should Americans only refuse to serve pork to Jews, and send it overseas to Islamic people?

-Damn it, they are in our country.
.......it's not like they ask to share a bed or toothbrush with you.
.......then travelling is forbidden, worldwide, including Americans. .......without global post, guess we'll have to E-MAIL every zoo animal back to their country?

-LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!
.......is that ever an option for when Americans eat?
.......how will they know they don't love it, if they can never visit?


Take some Pepto or Colace and call your doctor in the morning.

Enough said.

Well said Soco, My relatives came to this country just before WW 1 and they did not demand that the neighbors or their new employer learn their language. Grandpa worked hard to learn English and was very proud that his children learned it quickly. He told them "This is our Country Now We are no longer ______ . We are Americans." If you went to France or Spain and demanded they cater to you, They would laugh you right out of the country. I do respect the emigrants who come here LEGALLY and work to blend in and become one with their new home country.

I think you need to open a history book, since people started coming over here they have seperated themselves from the people already here. English is our national language, but it's not always taught to foreigners. That being said if you go somewhere, outside the United States and they speak a foreign language you had better know how to communicate. BTW your statement doesn't make you a racist, it justs makes you someone with a very narrow mind.

Are you sure you are not racist? We have some from this country with the same labels you mentioned. So there must be something else behind that rather than them not being citizens. May God Bless U.

Yet, you cultural imperialists have been forcing your shallow, materialistic, superficial culture on the rest of the world for decades. Irony?

I believe that when one makes a statement such as...
"Blah blah blah blah, but...blah,blah.
the 'but' totally negates your first statement.
That would mean that you're saying that you are in fact a racist.
Good luck!
PS; Do a little genealogy work and let's find out your pedigree--you probably descended from immigrants, just like the majority of US citizens.

I think you need to use "spell check". I also think you need to come to the realization that you are indeed "racist" and that your question does nothing more but highlight your ignorance.

If you don't like them, why don't you leave? America is by definition a collection of "foreigners", as it isn't an old country.
