Americans who are anti immigrant/against immigration.. Why?

[Zoom-boing]

They were Required to learn English and that didn't cause them to give up their native language and culture....

Immigrants today are assimilating and learning English just as those who came before them did.

Then why are so many signs (think Lowes, Depot, grocery stores, etc) listed both in English and Spanish?

Because businesses want to cater to many customers. More customers =more money.

Having signs in anything but English does not help those people assimilate. It coddles them and divides.

Don't be ridiculous.

How is accommodating them helping them to assimilate? It isolates them by continuing the language barrier. This is America, E Pluribus Unum --- out of many, one. Not 'out of many, stay that way in your own groups'.

 

[Unkotare]

Wrong.

You're a hell of a debater! lol

You're not.

U.S. Birth Rate Falls to a Record Low Decline Is Greatest Among Immigrants Pew Research Center s Social Demographic Trends Project


" the birth rate for foreign-born women plunged 14%—more than it had declined over the entire 1990-2007 period.1 The birth rate for Mexican immigrant women fell even more, by 23%."

Mmm, interesting. YOu cut and paste a report on a declining birth rate, without including this little tidbit.


"Despite the recent decline, foreign-born mothers continue to give birth to a disproportionate share of the nation’s newborns, as they have for at least the past two decades. The 23% share of all births to foreign-born mothers in 2010 was higher than the 13% immigrant share of the U.S. population, and higher than the 17% share of women ages 15-44 who are immigrants. The 2010 birth rate for foreign-born women (87.8) was nearly 50% higher than the rate for U.S.-born women (58.9)."



A decrease in the rate of increase is not a decrease.

A decrease is a decrease.

Yep.

And a declining increase is still an increase.

It does not "isolate" them to see a sign indicating the women's clothing area in Spanish. In any case, it's none of your business what a private company does to serve its customers. Try to relax.

"Fertility rates in the United States have fallen since 1990 among all major racial/ethnic groups (see Figure 2). The Latina fertility rate dropped sharply in recent decades, from 3.0 births per woman in 1990 to 2.4 births per woman in 2010; and for black women from 2.5 to 2.0. Fertility rates among white and Asian women have also dropped, but at a slower pace, resulting in similar fertility rates among different racial and ethnic groups."

Part of the reason is that Spanish speakers don't want to use English as their primary language of usage (even when they know English) so they want to be pandered to in Spanish instead.

You are one of the most ignorant dopes on this site, and that's saying something.

Again, none of your damn business, and it has no bearing on their assimilation. You've got your panties in a bunch because you are believing that what the far left wants to be true is in fact reality. It's not.

Part of the reason is that Spanish speakers don't want to use English as their primary language of usage (even when they know English) so they want to be pandered to in Spanish instead. Mostly the reason that businesses are posting their ads in Spanish is because of the huge number or Spanish speakers here illegally. Anything for a buck, right?

( the Unkotare way ) Wrong.

 

[charwin95]

they have a lot of kids since they don't practice birth control....

Wrong.

Where do you live any way that you flatly say wrong? You are WRONG.
I live here in California and I see a lot A LOT of hispanic families with 4 or 5 kids. This is one of the big complaint here because this is where they suck most of welfare money which is sickening. Where do you live?

 

[Yarddog]

For most people here, its Mexicans they hate.

In spite of miles of evidence to the contrary, they do not take US jobs.

If you get a chance, watch the very short documentary made by VICE, called, I believe, Sweet Home Alabama. It shows what has happened to farmers and consumers in Alabama since they ran out all illegals in 2011.

Condensed -- they interviewed growers who same Americans not only would not do the work, they were physically unable to and walked off the job before noon. Prisoners were brought in but they too were unable to to do the work. Needless to say, produce prices are sky high but the real kicker is that Alabama is importing produce from MEXICO.

The US needs migrant farm workers as much, if not more so than they need us.

Would you please leave my language alone! No one hates Mexicans. Most people don't have the energy or passion needed to hate.
Conservatives dislike illegal immigration and would like to send illegal immigrants back to where ever they came from.
We disagree with Liberal Policy. We don't hate Liberals

I don't even hate you, Luddley. You aren't worth the energy, the passion or, frankly, my time.

yeah, they will always call your adressing of issues or criticizm ' Hate Speech' to win the argument or, maybe many of them cant tell theh difference between hate and an opposing view point.

Wrong.

In Realityville, where I have supported my position with FACTS. Maybe you've heard of them...

 

[charwin95]

Most do not practice birth control that is why they have plenty of kids. What do they care when they have welfare to take care of them.

No you are not real. You are a FAKE. I am telling you the reality because I live here. You don't. You're dreaming or just guessing or just plain ignorant.

 

[Unkotare]

Is that why fertility rates are falling? Can you support anything you claim, or are you prepared to admit you are just talking out your ass?

87.8 is much higher than 58.9.

If he lives in California, he is dealing with high percentages of more recent immigrants, who are likely to have higher birth rates than second, third or more generation Hispanics.

My panties in a bunch? wtf?

You're wrong. When you lower the bar it has consequences. Pandering to non-English speaking people by providing everything in their native language only hinders their assimilation.

You're wrong, it hinders one's ability to assimilate.
