That one was better because it did say "public schools" which was chiefly the point you were hoping to make.
However,
it dealt only with German whereas your claim was about "most of the groups" I had mentioned.
And also,
the date is nearly 200 years ago.
This is precisely the reason English probably SHOULD be the official language, because otherwise it would be only fair to translate everything into every other language if we are doing it for Spanish.
You have not replied to my point about how those who speak the third most spoken language could easily begin to demand the same service of having everything translated.
I'm afraid that claim is absurd my friend. It is an attempt used routinely to slur my position as personal rancor when it is clearly not.
There is no indication in my posts or in my personal life that I "despise illegal immigrants". What I am doing is arguing against granting amnesty citizenship to them.
And most illegal immigrants will almost certainly return to their native countries after employment and welfare is no longer available here so it is unnecessarily defeatist to throw up our hands and say they are not going anywhere.
Incorrect. The alterations preceded the US Civil War.
Yes, that is very popular but mostly with La Raza or La Voz de Aztlan.
That is certainly supposed to be the only acceptable attitude. I wonder if you're aware of what voluminous resources have been summoned to foster that attitude, and who it really is who benefits from it.
Let me ask you this:
Are you aware that Mexico stringently enforces its own immigration codes ?
According to your criterion, that must mean they are acting in an unfair and inhuman way.
It wasn't victorious though - and not only did the US win the war but the US also paid Mexico $15 MILLION dollars for the territory.
I believe very strongly in nations, for reasons I can go into at length later.
Human beings can be illegally in a country drawing wages, and that is all anyone here has ever said.
Are you aware that I am Catholic ?
And that I live in the border state of New Mexico ?
I see, talk to, or interact with illegal immigrants nearly every day of my life.
For further illumination, I recommend that you begin to explore how so many Latino US citizens feel about this issue, and I will get you a website that will help with that.
There is nothing crazy or offensive about your recommendation.
Illegal immigrants are all around me. I bear no malice toward them personally; in fact, I would be doing the same thing they are if I were in their position - and their country was stupid enough to let me.
I'll come back with that website for you later.
[Edited on Monday; see my note to you in a separate post which I will now write at the end of this thread].
