Does any other born American feel like the minority in our country?

Question

I was born and raised in America, yes my ancestors came from other countries as like many others, but if you want to become American then you should go through the process like other immigrants, including all steps to become an American citizen, like learning the english language and learning about our country. So how many mexicans can say their pledge of alligience, they can't so why are we conforming to the spanish language, I don't recall our country having to conform to the German language or any other foreign language like we do the spanish. I am tired of living in little Tijuana when I live in America

Answer 1

You hit the nail right on the head. It makes me sick that when I buy something I have to SEARCH for the English on the package.

Answer 2

the folk doing those jobs are actually not dropping time on Y!A, they are in all danger out working. and that i'm no longer conversing approximately in ordinary terms Mexicans, i'm conversing approximately all styles of unlawful immigrants. Pay your ideal dues to get into this united states, and in case you think of that some are poor, inspect the smuggling expenditures as nicely because of the fact the hazards linked with that. forced immigration is likewise no longer good. If something from a logistics perspective, yet additionally the popular public reaction to those human beings. Are they going to congregate in one section? Or will they be unfold around? the two way, existence would be confusing for them because of the fact human beings will make it that way. close doorways thoroughly? No. the U. S. basically desires to make confident that absolutely everyone seems to be following the guidelines.

Answer 3

I am an immigrant (from Armenia) and I agree. I work as a telemarketer and most people I call are Spanish and don't even know English. How does one buy a house in a country without knowing the language? Also, people who do not know Spanish are in a sort of disadvantage when compared with those who do know Spanish. All I can say is soon whites would be minorities.

Answer 4

I agree, I get sick of my parents or telling me to learn Spanish, because it'll open up job opportunities for me. Why don't these illegals learn English, and become legal citizens, so that oportunities will open up for them. Why should I have to become bilingual in this country. I do understand that if you live near border town, being bilingual serves a purpose, but when you're over 400 miles into the interior of a country, you should learn the language.

Answer 5

I don't just feel like it, I am the minority in the city I live in. My father passed away, and I came back to my home town after being gone quite a few years. I don't know if you have ever been to Tijuana, but this is how the city I was raised in looks now. All the signs and bill boards are in spanish. I have to drive several miles to get to a decent grocery store. There was a drive by shooting on the corner a few weeks ago. I cannot stand in my front yard after dark for fear of the gangs. I remember playing hide and seek for hours at night when I was a kid. And never worried about a thing. I am scared to take my car out at night for fear that I might break down and get attacked by a gang because I am white. This is how I live now. My town is 98% hispanic. So yes I am the minorty.

Answer 6

Yes, I DO feel like I am in the minority here in the USA. I agree with your comments about the language also.. IMO the New World Order needs to just go FAR away and the nations need to wake up and see what is happening before it is too late!

Answer 7

agree, i am American from Mexican descend and it took my parents a long time to become citizens of this country.I Believe all these illegals coming in here should either wait in line or be deported .. stop with the demanding because you have no rights. I'm don't hate these people, because i know they have it hard in their country and they have no where to run but i think they should up rise and defeat the evil government where ever they are from who are corrupted and have its people living like crap. To people who bash on mexicans, stop the hate, everyone is sick and tired of racism, what we need to do is either tell the mexican government to act up or suffer the consequences

Answer 8

Yes, more than you.

I am very anti-illegal invasion like my warrior ancestors, as a Lakota Sioux I can't help but laugh at your question. No culture in this country feels more "minoritized" than natives.

Answer 9

No ,I'm secure in the knowledge that we have a long way to go before we could be thought of as a minority.
The nation's foreign-born resident population totaled 10.3 mil. at the start of the century -- 13.6 percent of the total U.S. population. The numerical
total in 1998 was 25.2 mil. and the percentage of the whole, 9.3 percent,
less than the 20th century high of 14.7 percent in 1910, but more than
the low of 4.7 percent in 1970.
Yes, people from around the world are still coming to America, they're
just coming from different places. One hundred years ago, most immigrants were from Europe: Germany (2.7 mil.), Ireland (1.6 mil.), Canada (1.2 mil.),
Great Britain (1.2 mil.), Sweden (582,000), Italy (484,000), Russia
(424,000), Poland (383,000), Norway (336,000) and Austria (276,000) were
the leading contributors to the foreign-born population in 1900.
By 1997, Latin America and Asia accounted for eight of the top 10
countries of birth for the foreign-born population (Mexico, the Philippines,
China, Cuba, Vietnam, India, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador). The
exact number and the exact order after Mexico are uncertain due to
sampling variability in the Current Population Survey.

Answer 10

I feel like a minority in my own country. Mainly because I have less rights (although a legal citizen) than all the immigrants that want to come here for "a better life".
What ever happened to "America the Beautiful"? The Southwest is turning into little Mexico and it's disgusting.

Answer 11

Sometimes I do. Especially because I live in South Florida, but the truth is 70 percent of the country is still anglo.
