You can’t do anything about the situation unless you can have an effect on the educational system from the “Headstart” program up to and through the decisions about who is to rule the college classroom. Number One is that teachers unions should be tossed out. IMHO

I feel your pain. I also blame myself for “letting it happen” but truthfully there wasn’t a thing we could do to stop their agenda. They did it slowly & gradually so that we couldn’t see it coming. Patience was and is their greatest attribute, sadly.

All those who moved to Texas in the last decade or so were in for a big ol shock...The never ending conga-line of illegals will eventually own that state by shear numbers alone...Of course, it’s not just Texas...The entire country is going the same way.

I stopped by the grocery store tonight on my way home. I live in a town just south of Houston, Texas. It was busy, being Friday night. Almost every conversation that I was privy to was in Spanish, the ones that really kill me are the parents talking to their pre-school age children in Spanish. I see it every day, and it makes me sick.

BTW, it's the same in CA, AZ, Nevada and much of the rest of the country...It used to be just isolated to the southwest...The rest of the country some years ago thought this was rather cute or humorous since they were somewhat isolated from it.

But now it's in their backyards too...Coast to coast...All the laughter seems to have gone silent.

Hmm. I’m not sure where we’re going. But this hand-basket sure is a comfortable ride!

Nice vanity. From here, we go to the second republic which will evolve among the free states. Communist American states will collapse under their own weight and tyranny, just as the USSR did.

[Yo-Yo]

Where are we going?

And why are we in this handbasket?

[trebb]

We let the commies take baby step after baby step without doing anything but remarking on how something just wasn’t right. They took enough baby steps that they have just about consumed us - see my tag line

Thanks for your commentary. I find no fault whatsoever in it.

I hold out little hope for this country unless—and it’s possible but not likely—there is a major purging of the liberals from Congress next year. I say “not likely” because I have little regard for the political acumen of the majority of American voters. A smart electorate would have never voted for Obama and his Congressional supporters.

If the “purge” doesn’t occur, then all of us must go into survival mode, which includes much praying.

All those children who grow up NOT learning English like a native will be spending their working days making gran Macs and washing dishes.

The foreign children who melt into America and speak with no accent or little accent will be able to go to college successfully, get a degree, get a job that pays a decent wage and live a good life.

It doesn't TAKE that much in this country. Mexicans are ready, will and able to work...and they do. But without ingles they are dead meat who can't compete with the English speakers, readers and writers.

SO SIMPLE!! And SO MUCH easier to learn a foreign language when young. Stupid, near-sighted, selfish parenting.

I railed at the kids who wouldn't learn. I spoke better Spanish than they did and they knew it. Their parents have too much hold on them. They won't learn. SO, we have a build-in group of people to wash toilets and dishes, clean houses and mop floors. Oh well.
