Fully a quarter of illegals who are eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program can’t speak English at all — 46 percent can only speak it a little.
That’s according to a 2016 study from the Center for Immigration Studies, coming to light once again because President Donald Trump’s administration is due to end DACA this March. And you know what these findings mean, don’t you?
It’s not your imagination.
That’s a far cry from what amnesty types tell. Those who want open borders, all the time make it seem as if all immigrants are simply hardworking American wannabes, and those sneaking across the border, or bringing their minor-aged children across the border, are only on a mission to become good citizens of these United States.
Apparently, not.
It would seem step number one to becoming a citizen of a foreign nation would be to learn the new language, yes? Those who don’t would seem to be separating themselves in a crucial cultural way.
But the CIS study is not the most disturbing finding about the DACA crowd. The Congressional Budget Office just reported that almost one-fifth of illegals eligible for DACA would wind up taking food stamps within 10 years.
So not only are DACAs non-English speakers, failing to assimilate with U.S. society in this all-too-important manner. But they’re living off the taxpayer dime.
Nowhere but in America. Certainly not in Mexico, or points south of the border. For certain illegals, it seems, the American dream has little to do with America and much to do with handouts and entitlements.

I know some are as stupid as the Amish in every American city but I do know a great deal speak Spanish and English quite well and play games. I have caught many playing their no habla BS and they think nobody knows Spanish other than them.
Anyone who was brought to America as a young child and never bothered to learn to speak English is NOT interested in being a real American.
Start weeding them out with this.....not fluent in English? Declined. Any run-ins with the law? Declined. Failed drug test? Declined. Dependent on welfare? Declined. That should cull the heard.

About sums it up doesn’t it.
I thought they were Americanized, why just like us.
Liars!
English fluency needs to be a requirememt for all immigrants.
It shows the lie to the claim that most of Obama’s “DACA Babies” came here as tots and grew up here submersed in American culture and are American at heart.
Obama didn’t think their lack of citizenship or “documentation” was a problem because he doesn’t have them either.
It makes sense in the case of someone who barely speaks Spanish and has no relatives in Mexico (for example).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was all a lie, every one of them speaks Spanish.
Illegal aliens cannot enlist, that’s another lie being told by the amnesty crowd.
Well of course they can’t speak English because there is no need or incentive for them to learn it.
Here in LA, everything is in Spanish. TV stations, radio stations, DMV paperwork, welfare and WIC paperwork, road signs, bathroom signs, billboards, etc. Heck, even the public schools in LA teach illegal alien children in Spanish. Even the courts and social services provide full time translators which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to get a job with the city or county unless you speak Spanish. English is practically a foreign language around here. No joke.
You DACA go home now
But I thought the only country the ‘Dreamers’ knew was the US.
Another fake news lie exposed.
But.......but ....how can this be? I thought THIS country was ‘the only one they’ve ever known’.
Seems like they really are better suited to life in their former countries.
It’s not any different than the illegal alien pushers who’ve lied for years that illegal aliens don’t commit crimes in the USA.
The simple fact is that the leftist HATE Americans, and the entire concept of America. They HATE anyone who believes in America, and rather than trying to convince people that their was is better - because they can’t - they would rather replace Americans, complete with work ethics and the belief in individual rights, with people from 3rd world countries, with no concept of either, and a long history of government corruption.
It’s sort of like the quote by Edward “Long Shanks” in “Braveheart.” “The problem with Scotland is that it’s full of Scotts. If we can’t get them out, we’ll breed them out.”

They aren’t here to assimilate - the melting pot is over. All hail the growth of balkanization as long as they continue to get free “stuff”.

So they can speak Spanish when they RETURN to Mexico. That’s good!

Actually it is part of the Naturaliztion process...
The Naturalization Test
To become a naturalized U.S. citizen, you must pass the naturalization test. At your naturalization interview, you will be required to answer questions about your application and background. You will also take an English and civics test unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver.

Here are the exemptions:
English Language Exemptions
You Are Exempt From The English Language Requirement, But Are Still Required To Take The Civics Test If You Are:
Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (green card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception).
OR
Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).

Mexico is a nation of thieves and shameless criminal opportunists of every stripe. If there is some seemingly legitimate or illegitimate opportunity to get into the United States somehow Mexicans will take advantage of it. Where and when was it decided that our county was supposed to be Motel 6 for the whole world, in particularly Mexico?
What are we doing for our own people? When will our so called leaders understand their duty is to the American people? I voted for Trump because he said he’d put America first. I’m hoping he still means that.
So these are the best and brighest? These are the kids who only know America and couldn’t function in their own country? Really?
Yes, why should they learn English when Spanish will be the language of Atzlan when it is reconquered from the gringos.
