Sounds OK to me...my main concerns are:

A-that those who stay here realize this is America, not Mexico...and while they are welcome to embrace their culture, the US flag stays over the Mexican flag or else...and there’s no need to make multi-generational ghettos of Spanish-speakers that never assimilate or learn our language and culture. My Italian great-grandparents lived in an Italian neighborhood, sure, but their kids (my grandmother and her siblings) were as American as apple pie.

B-they need to learn English

BINGO. We have a Hispanic couple living in a two year old home just up the street. They left Kalifornia because of the illegals and cannot stand the new arrivals. Neither of them can speak Spanish very well, and understand a limited amount.

Both are fourth generation immigrants. She is very Hispanic looking and when the construction workers try to communicate with her, she tells them to speak in English.

Neither will happen with illegals. It's not like when our Italian relatives came here (my mother and your great-grandparents). They came here legally and that makes ALL the difference. The first thing the illegal alien does when they come here is break our laws. That attitude says it all. There are 3rd and 4th generation anchor babies here - and you can hardly tell them from the ones that just came across the border. They do speak English, thanks to taxpayer-funded schools, but with accents. They didn't speak one word of English until our school taught them - even though their parents also speak English! Mexico and all things Mexican are much more important to them. They have a disdain for this country that they pass onto their generations. Don't make the mistake of confusing illegal aliens with legal immigrants. It starts with their attitude toward this country - taking that oath of allegiance says it all.

Very well said.

If I may my .02, those who are here, and are not, otherwise criminals, need to get legal...muy pronto! Es la ley, amigo. I would love to see an ultimatum given, whereby they have x time to do so, or we will run them out, at any cost. And that goes for anyone, regardless of National origin.

It’s time to take back our Country!
