Have you lived in any of the border counties lately or cities of extremely high immigration? You won't hear much English spoken anymore ---especially in every housing project around here it's not spoken at all.

Same here in Texas. I hear Spanish all the time, some of these people even talk to you in Spanish expecting you to understand their language but by God they don't want to learn ours. My mother told me about a man she came across at the hair salon who has been here for twenty years and doesn't speak a word of English. That's the mentality of many of these folks. Get ready middle America, your turn is coming. :)

We have very many like that here. We had the garment workers who came here over 20 years ago, never learned a word of English or obtained an education. Now their jobs are lost --sent to Mexico with NAFTA and the majority are on some kind of government program still. They only came for the money and low wage jobs, those are gone but we taxpayers will be taking care of them the rest of their days.

There are some very good immigrants who are eager to learn the language and our history ---but those are the only ones we need. All the ones who still display their Mexican flags and refuse to learn our language aren't the type we need here. They might be useful as low wage workers for a time but with low education levels, they are too inflexible when times change. It's a myth that they all come to work though because even places with very high unemployment rates like we have here ---9-10% in good times, they still move in ---we need to do something about giving citizenship to a baby born to illegals who come over just for that reason.
