Even if what you suggest is true (and I believe it largely is), I do have issue with those (and granted, it’s not all of them) who wish to come here and yet believe we should cowtow to them by speaking Spanish, or, worse yet, march around OUR cities with signs suggesting they think Texas is part of Mexico.
What do you make of that part of the issue? Or the fact that some evidence suggests terrorists are using the Mexican and Canadian borders to enter?
I have no problem with guest workers and such - but I do think there has to be some level of control on it.
My grandfather could only speak Italian. He was at a terrible disadvantage here and thus gravitated to others that spoke his language.
He worked at Republic Steel...as a laborer. He picked dandelions in Cazenovia Park and brought them home to cook and eat. He sometimes brought pigeons home and killed them in or basement...and prepared them several different ways. To this little boy, he looked poor, dumb and stupid.
But...his daughter...my late mother, only spoke English and understood Italian. She raised 4 children who never brought the police to our door.
And his great-grand daughter...my child is an honors graduate of Princeton and in her last year of law school at Yale.
Two other sons own their own real estate company.
I am not inconvenienced by being prompted to choose English vs Spanish. It's a temporary solution to assist new future citizens.
I've always supported a protected border...but I also support a free market and an expanded guest-worker program.
