Now, just walk in....get medical care, an education in your native tongue, vote dem, welfare....hell...who can blame them..lol

Here in Mo. a person can take a driving test in Spanish to get a license. Yet I've never seen one road sign that has any Spanish on it. Seems kind of dangerous to me if we have folks out there driving who can read road signs in English.

Here in Los Angeles the ballots come in three or four different languages. I always wondered why that was, given that immigrants have to pass an English test before they can become a citizen and vote. Does this mean they never did learn English? Or that they never became citizens in the first place? (Which raises the question, why are they voting?) About ten years ago, a Cal State professor did a little study of voter registration lists. He took a sample of Spanish surnames and then actually went to the trouble to see if he could determine if they had citizenship. If I recall correctly he was unable to verify American citizenship status for about 15% of the Spanish surname voters.
