Give me tortilla chips or give me death! :->

I realize after I posted that how it sounded. I am concerned about illegal immigration, too. But someone running a legit business like a grocery store, I don't have a problem with. I assume they're paying property taxes, etc.

Even if the person running the legit business is illegal?

I don't mind anyone running a business or paying taxes, but I don't care much for having to speak a foriegn language to do business with them. I live 25 miles from the border, just this morning I was talking with the clerk in a convenience store, she has a degree in computer science, she can't get a job in the computer industry here because she doesn't speak Spanish, so she is stuck selling gas.

Isn't it grand that you can't get a job in your own country because you can't speak the language of foriegners, it has gotten noticeably worse here over the past 10 years.

Brace yourselves folks it is coming to a town near you.

I wouldn't care if I knew the store was run by legal immigrants and that the first thing they learned to do when they arrived was learn to speak English.  I can't tell you how many times I have been in a business recently where the workers they have don't speak English.  I can't tell if they are legal or illegal, but I will assume they are illegal and should be sent back where they came from, if they can't bother to learn English. 

 

Indpls and Indiana are changing fast, and I don't know anyone that likes the direction it's going......
