Yes, but they don't demand bilingual education in school like what is giong on now in cali...also the govt didnt shell out shitloads of our tax money for ESL (english as a second language) programs in schools. You learned it on your own time and your own dime
Cavalier22, really, why do you think the worst of this people right off the bat? I mean, I know plenty of them and can attest to the fact that their desire to blend in, meaning learn the language, buy "American", etc; is genuine.
They are not taking jobs away from Americans because, let's face it, we wouln't pick cherries for $5.50. They are contributing to the economic expansion, hence the growth, of American companies. All you have to do is to go to a shopping mall in one of their neighborhoods and see how much they buy (as opposed to the official rethoric that says they save everything they earn and send it to Mexico).
Aside from that, you comment that the US government is forking over "shitloads of our tax money" to teach Mexicans how to speak English is eloquent enough. This is why I say that we're a bunch of racist ignorants who deserve everything the upper classes are doing to us.
I cannot find any other reason for such irrationality. I mean, how can you intend on stripping a person of every humane right given to you because you have a piece of paper that states that you were born in Omaha? How can you think the worst of a person you have not even spoken to? It takes a wicked mind.
I personally believe that Mexicans are not the enemy. Furthermore, I'd rather spend the 50 million dollars in ESL classes that the 1 TRILLION we're spending in that killing machine we've created called "the war on terror".
Please secede!
