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.

For all we know, Mr. Brock doesn't even realize the bulk of those not learning the language are illegals, but I suspect he does. You have to be another planet, or in Washington not to.

BTW, the writer uses the word "immigrants", Brock just called them "newcomers". The press also refers to illegal aliens as undocumented workers, and migrants. Anything but what they are- lawbreakers. And if there weren't 10+ million of them here, imposing their culture on us, stories like this one wouldn't even exist, and you know it.
