How does this make you feel?

I would recommend more English language content be included in the Spanish speaking cable channels.

This thread has a lot of common sense in it.  Seriously.   

[ink]

reminds me of one of my favorite T-shirts I wear...all black with white letters...."welcome to America...now speak English"

[perdue3]

It reminds me how ignorant America is.

LOL what do you just post the opposite of whatever side the last post is LOL? What a joto. Purdy: You ignorant Americans and your opinions!

never been someplace where not speaking the native language gets you less than what foreigners get in the u.s. have you?

Almost everything I want to say about this is banned by a forum rule, so I'm trying to be careful.

We should have an official national language, English.
But the patch on the back of that jacket looks like hate bait.  

My forefathers spoke Russian and Polish, but they learned English when they came to America.  They became Americans, flag waving patriots.  Old Glory, not La Raza.

I've worked side by side in construction with many good but foreign Latino folk who are here because they want to work and want a better life for their families, just like my forefathers.  But the system to get them here legally is broken, and they didn't go through any functional process to get here.  No health screening, no documentation.  Nothing to protect them or us.  Nothing to screen out criminals.  The system is BROKEN.  We need to sort this **** out.

Let me say this too: Given a choice between these good Latino folk, and our population of multi-generation domestic welfare recipients, I'll gladly share my neighborhood with these folk.  And, if these families, rooted in family values and work ethic, if they are the future picture of America, it's not at all bad.

so true,  I have worked with a few mexican guys, for the most part they work to feed their families as well as myself, the one that drove me crazy was the one that stood over by the truck pointing at me and speaking spanish.  I dont speak spanish nor do I believe I should have to, after all it is the USA.  If I went to mexico, or any other foriegn country, I would have to speak that language. I agree the system is BROKEN.  I have to agree that I would rather have a working class neighborhood than one of only multi-generation leeches off of my paycheck.

I worked in Salford Manchester for three years as a supervisor on shift.

It was like the flippen UN, the Muslims would not speak to the Hindu's, the Poles would not talk to the Rumanians, the English would argue with Irish.

We had a guy from Nigeria who liked everyone

At break time we all had a brew and biscuits, its funny at 3:30 in the morning on a night shift we all looked the same, Miserable

The Eritrean  guy always tried to get me to come to his Mosque, he did not realize in Britain we are all pagans and watched football

How do I get a green card?

[coombz]

The image in the OP makes me think the same as perdweeb

However, I totally agree that if you are living in an English speaking country you should learn to speak English, not expect the natives to learn your language

but that reminds me, I'm sure I read somewhere that Spanish speaking people are no longer a minority in the US, so maybe in the future you will go kinda bilingual like some Canadian provinces and have things written in both languages
