You're apparently having a very hard time understanding that illegal immigration and this story are related. When someone goes into Colorado or California and sees quazillions of illegal immigrants not speaking English nor desiring to, their first reaction is why not? Most legal Hispanics and other immigrants tend to learn English, so it's not an issue if they speak it at home.

This singer is actually being kind, he's not saying get these illegals outta here, but rather if you come to America, learn the language. My reaction is- deport them, and many of these problems will subside.

The relation between this story, and illegal immigrants is in your mind, you and the rest made the connection, Mr. Brock certainly didn't.

"I'm not a racist. I wasn't directing the comments toward any particular group. I was speaking my mind as an American" during the Fourth of July holiday, Brock said."

"You are coming to our country. We don't speak Russian. We don't speak Spanish. We speak English here," Brock told an audience of 7,000, according to the Greeley Tribune."

Mr. Brock was addressing his comments to immigrants, defined as people who move here legally, not people who sneak in.

Once again, why would you care whether illegal immigrants learn English or not? They need to go back home, not stay here and assimilate.
