I don’t really care what language people use at home as long as they are adequately proficient in English so that they can interact in the larger community.

My German-speaking father arrived at Ellis Island from what is now Hungary in 1921. He spoke English less than a year later.

Here is the AMERICAN way of doing things. By the time we children passed through the AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL system of the time, we were fluent in the language of the land,

In the old days the immigrant hierarchy was: grandparents spoke only the mother country language, parents were bi-lingual, kids spoke only English.

My dad got off the boat from Germany in the '20s. In my early teens I asked him to teach me German. He smacked me in the head and said, "You don't need it. You're in America now." I told that to an Italian buddy of mine in school and he said his old man told him the same thing, but he didn't get smacked.

Personally, I don't care if they don't speak English at home, as long as they do in public. The problem comes when there are multi-lingual signs in public. Near the border, OK, as many businesses deal with crossover customers. !00 miles inland, forget it.

I had a Mexican girl who worked for me years ago.
She said her father would yell at them when he heard
them speaking Spanish at home. “You are Americans now,
you MUST speak English!”

How times have changed.

Well, when the time comes, that should make it real easy to round them up....Just ask them a question.

The difference today is the failing AMERICAN schools

It’s not just that. Most of the parents are uneducated and don’t put a value on education for their kids. That’s why so many of the little darlings turn into nothing but thugs.

Genocidal whites ARE the illegal problem.

Just ask Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews, Brian Williams, Woof Blitzer, Sheppie Smith, the whole line-up of self-loathing fear-drenched media scum.
