Now be honest. What would your reaction be if..........................................?

Question

What would your reaction be if 100 years from now, because of the majority of U.S. citizens are hispanic , the United States of America officially changed it's name to the spanish version "Estados Unidos de América" ??

Answer 1

Seriously - I would want to secede.

Answer 2

If your question wasn't so absurd it would actually be sad.....I know that immigration and illegals are a hot topic right now, but do you people realize that they only represent a small fraction of the population??? Least we all forget....the only NATIVE Americans are the ones on the Reservations?? The majority of Americans would not be a part of this country if they had not migrated from another corner of the world. Even if you added the so called 12 million "undocumented illegals" that are here, they still only represent a very small percentage of the population as a whole. And if you believe that it will be any different 100 years from now, I'd like to point out to you that the African Americans have been here for more than a hundred years, and they still haven't taken over the population. Get real folks!!!

Answer 3

Whoever has the most wins! Brains that is. America will dramatically change with the times over the next several centuries if she is to survive. The important thing will be as long as she is america it wouldn't matter to me what the official language is. If I made mexico my new homeland, you bet your sweet butt I would learn spanish fluently! They really should do the same here. It's disgusting that they wave mexican flags and boo when the star spangled banner is played at soccer games in this country! They may conquer this land with out firing a shot. Amazing isn't it?

Answer 4

If we're really United, still States, and still uphold the principles of America, the language doesn't matter. English is our heritage from England. If we had been a Spanish colony, we'd all be speaking Spanish anyway. In a hundred years, I won't have to worry about it, in any case.

Answer 5

Obviously the illegal immigration "border control" failed, and we need a new revolution!

Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

Teddy Roosevelt quotes on illegal immigrants
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1608833/posts

"In the first place we should insist that the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equity with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to the American Defense Society in 1919.

"Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or to leave the country," he said in a statement to the Kansas City Star in 1918. "English should be the only language taught or used in the public schools." http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_roosevelt_on_immigrants.htm

“We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.” http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/like/every_immigrant_who_comes_here_should_be_required/325314/

Answer 6

I've got news for you hotshot, as of about five years ago the combined ethnic total of all so called "minorities" was greater than that of the population who identifies themselves as "white" or "caucasian". In 100 years if not sooner, the completely arbitrary and ridiculous classification of people by so called race will be obsolete. Americans will all be of mixed ethnic decent and the question will be moot. Derek Jeter, A-Rod, Halle Berry and Tiger Woods are the wave of the future.Oh, and for TOPHAT: I am an ethnic European by decent and I was born in St.Paul, Mn. SO THAT MAKES ME A NATIVE AMERICAN.

Answer 7

I'm expecting it to happen some day. We are giving away the U.S. those who faught in the revolutionary war would turn over in their graves if they knew what we were letting happen. I won't be here in 100 years, but I expect by then it will be
AMEXICA. Have you seen the upside down flag under the Mexican flag in California that the protestors put up?

Answer 8

Vaya Con Dios mi America la bonita

Answer 9

The world will be totally different place in 100 years if it survive

Answer 10

100 years from now all the people who do not approve of the amnesty now, might be dead of old age. So, as long as we are alive and well, this will not happen. If Amnesty is passed, I think Congress and Politicans have not seen anything yet. Only one way possible for this to happen is if Kennedy the one who has been the primary instigator/supporter of Illegals is still alive, and that 300 lbs over weight thing he has going, I doubt it.

Answer 11

first i'd be stunned that i was alive at 144. then i would say if the mexicans started to get that much control it would lead to the usa being in such bad condition that the illegals would stop coming. a usa led by mexicans would be as awful as mexico. the immigration would stop. hopefully this collapse would occur before they had enough clout to change the name.
