we are a melting pot, and a patchwork quilt.... I see no reason to make english "official"....if immigrants want to move up and out of their ethnic micro-economies, they will have to learn to speak english, but I hardly see the necessity to cram a language down their throats.

oh, and by the way, that is asinine and gratuitously hot flatulence

 

[actsnoblemartin]

and when ted kennedy shows up to the 2006 first annual day without an illegal and goes si si puede, what do you call that

and clintons answer, about drivers license

face it the liberal party has no balls, and most of the so called republicans have shrinking balls

oh, and by the way, that is asinine and gratuitously hot flatulence

 

[maineman]

ever hear dubya sing the national anthem in spanish?

what's that?

 

[actsnoblemartin]

No i havent, but bush is selling us out.

I never said he wasnt, some in my party are fighting to stop illegals, youre party wants to give them amnesty

and what would you do with the millions of immigrants who are here illegally?

 

[actsnoblemartin]

deport them, we tried amnesty in 1986, thank you ronnie and democratic congress, then it was 3 million illegals, now its 12-20 million

#1 amnesty has shown not to work for many reasons

#2 we cannot award criminals, and encourage more criminals to come here by allowing the criminals to have rights they never earned, while millions all over the world have come here legally.

[DiogenesDog]

What is the national language of Switzerland? Why are there enclaves in Paraguay and Uruguay that speak only German? Do you know where Paraguay and Uruguay are?

Are you this way because you weren't required to have a language credit for your G.E.D.s?

Just axing.

I AM

deport them. great.

do you have any idea what would happen to the american economy if you deported every immigrant here illegally?

Do you LIKE lettuce? Do you LIKE dining out? Do you LIKE the idea that new homes are being constructed?

 

[Detmurds]

English First And Foremost!

 

[maineman]

english First And Foremost!

first and foremost? absolutely.

exclusive and exclusionary? official? no

 

[actsnoblemartin]

before we opened the border in 1947, we had german and italian immigrants do the jobs that illegals are doing today.

We can get anyone in the world to come here, legally and do the work.

We cant allow employers to pay slave labor wages to illegals and exploit them.

We can find americans to temporarily do all the jobs, while we get legal people to come and replace them.

Then, we have national security, and ill pay more for going out and lettuce.

Right now, we pay a high price in illegal immigrant crime, identity theft, and their bankrupting our schools and hospitals.

deport them. great.

[actsnoblemartin]

In the workplace, no language but english, anyone who comes here must learn english before coming here

first and foremost? absolutely.

exclusive and exclusionary? official? no

Like I said...do you LIKE lettuce? who the fuck is going to work for the wages that the growers pay migrant workers? YOU pay somebody minimum wage with benefits to pick vegetables and only the very rich will be able to eat them. wake up and smell the coffee.

don't like it? call the waaaambulance.

or move.

Whatever separates us divides us. Yes, good old American English should be the official language. I remember children coming from other nations and learning English in grade school. My own father, a Puerto Rican, never learned his native language, his parents wanted him to be an American.

Uhh, thats what we have right now.

But only someone who believes in big government would agree with the government legislating a national language. What we have now is fine.
