Well that's hope. Then we'll work for low wages and no benefits. A friend of mine calls it the mexicanization of America.
Where's the logic here?

read the post and show me where I said national. No where. Pt
I wouldn't call it racist, but I wouldn't expect it to happen either. Making English our official language and using it for all government documents is one thing, but asking immigrants not to speak their native language in public is going a bit far.

So then the answer is no where? Oh, OK. I thought so.
Again youre inability to read or move beyond your baiting threads is only exceeded by your lack of understanding.
And I agree with that, too. I live in Los Angeles and don't speak Spanish. You better believe that's been a problem.
Did someone say that they shouldn't speak their native language at all? Not that I recall.
It's when they are attempting to transact business that the country's language should be spoken. I don't care what they speak otherwise.

Cheap labor means higher profits for the few. Illegals are cheap labor. You see wages stagnating while profits for business grow. Many factors are leading the country this way.
Well then you must oppose illegal immigration then. Thank you for finally agreeing that illegal immigration is not good for our country.
Yes, I do oppose it. never said I didn't. However, I could care less what language anyone here speaks. It is hardly our largest problem. But I also recognize reality. We lack the will. Our leaders have no real intention of stopping it. We don't need new laws. We need to be serious about stopping it.
I don't care if someone speaks a foreign language at all, but if they are to become permanent residents of this country there should be requirements and expectations (one being to KNOW how to speak English). I don't think that is an unreasonable request.
Of course it's not racist; if I live in France then I'd learn French, likewise people should learn English if they live long-term in an English speaking country.
But the Chinese in Chinatown and Gypsies in their sites may not want to learn to speak English though. What may be at play? Too much freedom?
