when America has been mostly white for over 200 years, all of those immigrants assimilated into American society and learned English, a majority Asians have assimilated and learned English, along with many other ethnic groups...but when it comes to Latinos we should make an exception to the rule...

Because they keep control by dividing people into "special" little groups.
Every other wave of migrants came here to be Americans, and learning English was a sign of respect for the country.
The Mexicans just want a job. They could give a hoot about anything except themselves.

Because they are hoping we will think this illegal immigration is more of the same.....but it is not. You are absolutely right...they really can't defend illegal immigration...that is why that call them undocumented workers....they think a new name changes them from what they are....for awhile they were just "immigrants"...and they left off the "illegal".
These people broke our laws to get here...have broken more laws to be working here...with false papers, stolen documents, etc....and we don't need them for citizens...we need those who stand in line and do it the right way. We are better off with the ones who do it right every time!
And a varied immigration from all different countries, assimilation, learning our language...and not our "catering to their special needs" in language or anything else is what we need to be doing to have "multiculturalism"...that is what makes it work! Immigrants from just one country is not what we should be doing!

The value of multiculturalism is not part of the argument over < illegal >immigration. A question you should ask yourself is why did the conservative Republican party allow so many millions to enter and be employed. It wasn't pressure from "liberals". Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency with an iron hand while at least 6 million but perhaps as many as 10 million illegal immigrants entered the US, set up households and got jobs.

I am a Conservative not a Liberal. I don't think a $9 trillion debt is good for America. All ran up by Bush and Republicans in Congress. I also do not think over 3500 dead and 100,000 wounded in Iraq is good for America. As to your question. Why is it that Bush and Republicans all want Amnesty for 12 million who have broken our laws. We will always have immigration. We will always have legal process and quotas.

There should be no exception to the rule. The whole "Press 1 for English" idea in a country where english IS the primary language is bull. We don't go to France and Press 1 for French. Someone needs to regulate this, and it's the government. It is true that most countries learn english and teach their kids the American way and so forth. Why shouldn't it be that way for all cultures?

It is all about money. Latinos are willing to do peasant work for no money. They will cut grass and pick fields where no one else wants to for such cheap wages no American would work for.
However, Latinos are now starting to work up to other jobs in which Americans would do, even at Walmarts or other small factories that want cheap labor.

OK, have you forgotten that all settlers 300 years ago where illegal immigrants too!!!!! This land was not ours, but belonged to the natives! And probably still should! And- they brought a foreign language here (English) and made the NATIVES speak it, by force!!!!!
P.S. You are a prejudice, brainless, selfish kind-a-guy!

It is just politics as usual. Otherwise, it will be very hard and expensive to pay for all 200 languages to learn it in the school.

VOTES. They are looking for more votes.
If they can protect the illegals long enough they believe (and they're probably correct) American will give them amnesty and they will become Democrats (Liberals) and vote that way.

If you can divide Groups, you can turn them against each other, which is the Basis of the Democrats Power Base.
You have to keep People ignorant in order to control them.
I myself , cant think of a better way to keep people ignorant
than by using Language to separate.them.
