Why is it that everytime someone starts talking about illegal immigrants they want to make them sound like the victims. They aren't the victims. The citizens of the U.S. are the victims. Our system has been raped at both ends by illegals for years now and I'm really tired of listening to the illegals moaning and groaning about how bad they are being treated in this country.
Go back to Mexico and reform your own country if you don't like the way things are. Why must you come here and cause trouble for us? We have fought for our way of life. Now go fight for yours and leave us alone.

Yeah... American arrogance means that the rest of the world is becoming bi-lingual and have the advantage over us. Keep up with your ignorance campaign... it suits you.

You just reminded me; whether it's in English or Spanish a jackass is still a jackass.  |

Actually, it seems that many of the illegal immigrants coming into this country are not bilingual nor do they have the desire to become so. I think that is the problem. People who want to make their residence in a country should make an effort to learn that language. If they don't, then special accomodations should not be made for them. If I wanted to live in a different country I would learn that language. |

If 25% of them spoke English that would mean more of them speak English than Americans do, since they have over a billion people. |
