"But with worsening conditions at home and relatively rosy reports from family or community members already here, the United States is attracting more indigenous immigrants - people who primarily speak a local indigenous language of Mexico, a country that is Latin America's Tower of Babel. Its government recognizes 162 living languages, plus some 300 dialects."
How do you say (462)lingual??

You know you're from Texas when you click on the title thinking it'll say "Mennonite".

Naturally they will be lableled "Hispanic" when they start receiving government benefits.

Any questions?

Pretty soon, we'll have them all here in the US; then, we can just go down and take over their country, finders keepers, while no one is looking.

If you're from Mexico or Guatemala and you commit a crime; the minute you're arrested; stop speaking Spanish. Or English, of course.
There aren't too many court translators for Zapotec, Mixtec, etc.
You can't assist in your own defense, so they have to let you go.

What is "Don't crap in the spinach" in Spanish?

You can't assist in your own defense, so they have to let you go. We can always send them to that Sherriff in AZ that would make them wear pink. A bunch of states should have ONE translator for that language on retainer .... and he lives at the tent prison. All prisoners not speaking english or spanish could be sent there for langague translation. Of course it might be a big line.

Naturally they will be lableled "Hispanic" when they start receiving government benefits. But if they kill a black dude screaming something very unpleasant, they qualify for instant upgrade to Lilly White Supreme, per SPLC requirements.

"You can't assist in your own defense, so they have to let you go."
You obviously don't understand the underpinnings of the Mexican legal system. It follows most of the European continent.
You are presumed guilty until proven otherwise. If you can't prove your innocence, you stay guilty.
Mordida helps, though.

""It was hard at first," the 28-year-old Santol said in halting Spanish. "We would look for someone who spoke our language and Spanish. Now I have learned a little Spanish. Grace of God.""
Why don't you try learning English instead you leach!
