How many languages are available on the atm machines down there(US)?  I just went to one here in Canada and there was french/english which is normal,but there was also a choice for mandarin which I thought was unique.

Nope, I can honestly say that is not why they laughed but thanks for playing.  "Cheap" labor is costing us billions so that argument goes out the window. 

You say 'costing us billions', yet both the Democrats and Republicans work diligently to keep that labor force viable.

If it's costing us so much, then why are all the people in power so adamant about maintaining it?

We waste billions on illegals and their illegal families but they want to court them and their friends to vote for the respective parties.  the politicians stay powerful and rich regardless if we all get fucked in taxes and they get pissed away on people who don't deserve them.  We waste millions on these fuckers in education and they can't even learn the language.  Pathetic.  Kick em all out and have the welfare workers do their jobs.  Put those lazy asses to work and then kick the other illegal freeloaders out.

I'm very keen on streamlining the citizenship process for our (for the most part) law-abiding Latino friends and also for visitors from other countries.  I want them to be part of our workforce, to be part of our tax base, and to be part of our national community. 

I do NOT, however, want TV ads for our Presidential candidates to be in Spanish, nor do I want Spanish-language ballots at our polling places. 

I'm all for welcoming people into our country, and they're welcome to speak their native language, but the business of America needs to be conducted in English.

Move to the Politics board at your leisure.

Most of the Indians are Americans now.  The remaining backwards fucks on the reservations wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.  ::)

Still 1961 where you're at?  :D

Actually more like the 1800's..............where a man who wrongs another mans family meets his justice through a lead bullet. Where there is no political correctness or walking softly so as not to upset someone's poor wittle feelings. This country has gone steadily downhill since the 1960's hippie peace love drug bullshit.
   Too many asshole lawyers have taken this country and sold it to the highest bidder all for the sake of money. Where each year we vote for stupid changes all in the guise to save "mother earth" or help the drug addicted or impregnated illiterate illegals, so that a politician can secure a vote. Its time people take responsibility for themselves and stop asking for the governments help(the tax payers).
   I don't remember reading about the people who built this great country demanding a handout from our government. People used to work hard for everything they got and where just thankfull for the opportunity. Now all you hear about is how everybody should have this or that, and for what?
   Immigrants should be required to speak the national language(English). Keep their customs from their countries at home where they belong, and fit in with the rest of us Americans or get the fuck out.
   Can you imagine if you went to Spain or France and expected to get everything people over here get, be able to do things in your language?

Unlike you I don't feel responsible for those actions because I wasn't alive.  Things happen throughout history and you learn from mistakes.  Are the current Mexicans looking for an apology from Spain?  If they are let me know.  Get over it.  Aside from the Southwest what are they complaining about?  BTW, the people who "deserve" their land back are fucking up the states (AZ and CA) that they used to inhabit.  All these people needed/need to do is fill out papers and wait but they can't even do that after 10-50 years.  Not my problem.

You took my cinco de mayo holiday idea serious???? OMG, you didn't, did you?? :o

Now take two midol , hold your nose and fart and try to clear your brain of the fog it is in.
I think that any LEGAL immigrant is an American no matter who they are or when they got here.
The ILLEGAL immigrants need to go home, just my opinion as well

Legal immigrants still need to learn our language, they way they used to.  Illegals do need to go home and need to get their free pass revoked.

California has Spanish-language ballots.

Let me be clear - for the most part, I LOVE immigrants and I openly admit my respect for what they mean to our economy. 

But the electoral process - which is the business of ALL the people - must be conducted in English only. 


Precisely

In some box in the basement of one of my sibilings are the text books from my great grandfather's primary school, his first, second and third grade readers, from the town of Hecker, Illinois, just outside of St Louis.  Guess what?   They're in german.   Around 1900, the official language of the school in this farming community was german.  He was second generation American.  His grandparents are the ones who had immigrated some 40 years before.   Yet the whole town was still speaking german.     The next generation spoke a little less.  The generation after that hardly any at all.

and that's pretty normal for all the ethnic groups.  Each generation speaks a little less of the mother language, and a little more english.

But guess what.  The world is changing.   English is spoken throughout Europe.  English is being spoken more and more in Latin America.
