I live in Oregon. This evening, my wife and I drove to WALMART to buy a few items. I was ASTONISHED by the number of shoppers speaking Spanish. It had to have been 1/3.

Please, Sir, we voted you back in as President because we trusted you to look out for us. Please deal decisively with the issue of illegal immigration.

Do you know for a fact that the shoppers there were illegals? I am assuming that the shoppers were speaking among themselves (who they were there with, family members, etc.) but since when is speaking another language against the law? If the people who worked there were forced to speak Spanish, or if the store signs were in Spanish, it would be a problem, but that apparently wasn't the case based on what you said.

My mother, and the entire mother's side of my family, are immigrants who all came here legally and are citizens. They can all speak English very well yet that doesn't stop them from speaking Maltese amongst each other; yes they even do it in public. Does that mean that whoever let them in wasn't looking out for you?

I am completely against ILLEGAL immigration as much as anyone else here but my point is that if you hear people speaking a different language amongst themselves to not automatically assume that they are illegals. That's all.
