83 % Say Getting Immigrants To Speak English Is Higher Priority Than Creating Bilingual America

Scott Rasmussen points to these striking results:

Barack Obama said yesterday that "instead of worrying whether immigrants can learn English," Americans "need to make sure your child can speak Spanish." A national telephone survey conducted last month by Rasmussen Reports found that U.S. voters overwhelmingly disagree with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English...

... A reader noted this is among the pieces of information that voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania and MIchigan need to hear before they make their decision in November.

While both supported the Amnesty Bill, Obama is for 1.) this crap and 2.) supports drivers licensees for illegals.

According to McCAin there would be NO illegals, he’s going to make them all legal, so the license question is mute. So is the language question until he says he will rescind Clinton’s EO to make everything associated with the government Spanish/English or whatever anyone demands.

Most immigrants are not stupid - they come here because of a free economy, rule of law, and a stable and unified culture. The places they left don’t have those things, and they don’t want those qualities in the USA destroyed — although some of our own Americans are doing their damnedest to do so.

Obama is embarrassed that they were only able to say this in English.

“We could find, for example, that some small town located near the Mexican border and with a majority of Spanish-speaking residents could pass laws in Spanish (or some local Mexican Indian dialect). They could hold court in that same language. So, English speakers would just be screwed.”

...could pass? There are towns in Texas who have already done just that.

While McCain leaves much to be desired, he has learned some of his lesson on illegal immigration.

He wants to build the border wall now, which we all know Obama will not do.

I believe Juan is speaking at LaRatsa on July 14th.

I will be depressed.

“Most immigrants are not stupid - they come here because of a free economy, rule of law, and a stable and unified culture. The places they left don’t have those things, and they don’t want those qualities in the USA destroyed”

I would agree. That is NOT the case for illegal aliens and their promoters. They have broken the law and want to change our entire process of the rule of law. Just ask ‘em.

NO he is not ! His speech this week to the Spanish group was tough and he said NO to exactly what the previous poster said . Both Rush and Mike Medved said the group did NOT get the same PANDERING GOODIES that Obama gave them which included both 1 and 2 but tough talk.
Where are you peddling this misinformation ?

[ncalburt]

This election will probably come down to the latin vote in the swing states . Juan needs to got to all of these events to get exposure on Spanish TV. You can not write off an entire 16 % segment of the US population .

He does not have American values. He's not quite white. He's not quite black. Although he plays one on the campaign trail and also hen affirmative action privileges were being handed out. He's actually not quite anything you would want to be associated with.

“come down to the latin vote in the swing states”

Maybe it should come down to the American votes.

To be a full citizen of this country, you must be able to read write and speak English, at least minimally.

Juan Mcamnesty is pandering to the Aztlan, Mecha, and “The Race” types who are anti freedom, anti Constitution and anti U.S.!

Yeah. Sure.

The Ultimately Incorrigible John McCain

Most illegal immigrants are not stupid - they come here because of free economy stuff. The places they left don’t have those things, and as long as we're stupid enough to hand it out, they will take it.

[TADSLOS]

I assume by "this crap" you mean Bilingual America. If that's the case, then why is Juan dedicating an entire campaign website en espanol, mi amigo?

Juan McCain para Presidente

Also, since Juan is hell bent on granting 22+ illegals citizenship for the mere reason of being God's Chil'run, then being against granting illegals drivers licenses becomes a moot point. The distinction between Obambi and McCain is measured in the fineness of a redhead's crotch hair follicle.

The Muslim Magic Negro's heart is with his homeland, Africa.
But Whitey's countries are much nicer and richer.

“With comments this dumb already he may not even make it to the convention. Whoever thought a conservative couldn’t win against a moron like this should be taken out and horsewhipped.”

Your right but McAmnesty in not much better. He is even worse on immigration because he now is lying about his stance.

[Carley]

This low life dares to say once again that he is embarrassed by Americans!

I have large news for him. I am embarrassed by him and his mean wife and spoiled rotten children.

English only BUMP!
