I think a law should be passed to require that all immigrants learn the English language and USE IT or they\'ll be shipped back in their banana boats or pick up trucks.

I completely agree.  They know enough to put spinners on their pieces of carp cars, but can\'t speak a lick of English.

Yesterday, I went to a McDonalds. No one spoke english. I today went to a Burger King where I live. American teens were talking to the adults in spanish. Today also, someone paid at the register I worked at, talked to his brother or whatever in spanish and counted the money in spanish. Talking to their family in spanish I have no problem with. But in the jobplace, I would have expected English, especially how I order in English.

sorry but it\'s not just hispanics that fall under the rule...all immigrants of every race have done this..i have gone down to the local chinese joint (chicken wings with hot sauce;)  and they barely understand anything i say..but they all understand one word..and that\'s "you pay now" that goes for arabs, jews, hispanics, chinese..all of \'em..none of them learn the language,.but set up businesses and they don\'t understand anything else,..but they do understand the almighty dollar..

on another note why is it cubans can stay when they come to the u.s. but they send the haitians back? that s**t is truly f**ked up...it really is a shame as i consider cubans,.latinos, hatians, black people in general...i\'ve always wondered why the u.s. have done this,..there is no reason for it and it\'s wrong...

Haitians aren\'t fleeing a Communist government.  Cubans are.  

BTW how can latinos be black people?  I know there are black Cubans and they are mostly black in Haiti, but latinos aren\'t a nationality - that word refers to hispanics.

I was just using hispanics as an example. I know this applies for all other races too.

i just generally say that about hispanics because i have seen some as dark as me with kinky hair...i figure it\'s all relative.. just that the language became it\'s own along the way...same way i feel jamaicans,.haitians the carribbean people are all forms of  the black race...it\'s just ignorance that separate them

just like how jaimaicans will say "i\'am not afri. amer..i\'am jamaican" or how cubans will say "i\'am not puerto rican..i\'m cuban" it\'s all the same,..it\'s ignorance that separates them...

So its only ignorance that seperates me from my fellow white people in Europe?  I don\'t see where you are going with this.

tru to an extent..that IS where you are from anyway...irish,..brits,..euro..the same thing..all white..everybody just branched out along the way...now this is just what i believe so don\'t ask me to post any links or facts

i don\'t feel that jaimaicans were "just created" or that cubans were "just created" or any other race for that matter...i believe they all came from one source ultimately & have branched out from there...thus blacks= africans, latinos,cubans ,haitians etc.
whites= irish,..polish,euros ,french etc...

it\'s been said tho that you can actually get white from black..ie two black people can have a white baby...so who knows giga you just might be related to me my brother..

i know alot of this falls under my beliefs and religion to an extent so i\'ll just leave it at that...

I would PAY to be at that family reunion.

Back to SirMystiq for a sec... Unless you\'ve been under a rock for that passed few years, racial profiling has been extremely prominent. Forget the passed few years, the passed few decades. And if you check the stats, most crimes are committed by blacks and hispanics. Just a fact...

Now to catch up with everyone else...

I have to agree with the majority here. Even though Republican at this point, our country is so god damned soft towards the immigrants. Just because we\'re supposed to be welcoming the "tired and poor"--or whatever it says on The Statue--doesn\'t mean that we let them roam around our land communicating to us with their hands and/or slurred translations further hindered by, well, a bad translator who also doesn\'t know the language.

WELCOME TO AMERICA - Please have your green card and proof of your comprehension of the English Language, spoken by 95% of the nation (the other five percent coming from the illiterate immigrants), ready upon arrival.

LOL. Oh hell yeah. I would too... easy.

Ive never heard the 2 black people make a white kid theory but i know that 2 black people can make a light black kid.  

but they all understand one word..and that\'s "you pay now"

Thats 3 words

Well I\'ve read through all of your post and there is really nothing I can say.

Except for...ohh well. I\'m not trying to be mean or ignorant but you talk about "Learn English and GET THE **** OU!!" when in reality...it\'s not the case. You can have your wishes and hopes and dreams of one day this country being full of residents only who pay their taxes and have enough money so that they don\'t have to go into welfare.

Now go outside and look around. Does it feel that way?

Nope. I\'m with you all about people learning English but Spanish has become such a big part of this country companies, industries, job places, restaurants etc HAVE to accomodate in order to get more business and they DO get more business.

Banks have to be the same way. My parent\'s have money in Bank One and they barely know English. My dad knows enough but not enough to talk about his account. Fact is alot of illegal immigrants have bank accounts and that means more money for banks.

English ONLY will NEVER happen. I\'m sorry to bust your bubbles. If you don\'t want to learn it, well then so be it. You are only hurting yourself. And if you ever meet a Hispanic that doesn\'t at least try to use or learn English during his course in this country please tell me about it.

You talk about this issues as if you lived them first hand. You can talk about how much money you are losing and how much you hate spanish. You can talk about how it\'s "too bad" for those "poor" people that come into this country, how can you talk about those things when there is a war going on right now that is costing YOU millions of dollars in order to free OTHER POOR?

I don\'t know how you can\'t admire or at least respect those people who die and risk their lives to come into "YOUR" country. What does that say about this country? What do you think those people see this country as? Opportunity. Chance. Change. Food. Clothing. Future. Education. Freedom...etc...Isn\'t that what this country stands for?

Do you think they ever think about "Damn Ima go up to the states and steal those white people\'s money!"...Or is it more like "Damn, I\'m going to go up there and find a better job and actually be able to feed my familiy..."

I\'m damn proud that I\'m a citizen and that this country is seen as so much by people that don\'t even live here.

Those people appreciate this country more than any of us.

In my opinion that kind of mindset will only set this country back. Hispanics ARE becoming a big part of this country and that is a fact. Hispanics are influential and affect any decision made by anybody with power. Hispanics DO help this country and most of them DO pay taxes. My dad has never ONCE gotten "paid under the table" None of my relatives have ONCE got payment "under the table" Maybe when they first start off but once they need more money they need to get better jobs. Therefore they DO pay taxes. So there is no bitching about it.

This country stands for many things. And I find it sad that you people think it stands for something different.

You say they never ONCE got paid under the table, then say maybe they did in the beginning...

Which is it?

Is it really possible to pay taxes through someone else\'s SS#?
