Let's not even get into the Irish...

Yeah, let's not, especially since most of them came legally. For the 10,000 or so that are here illegally, well then I guess when they're found out they'll have to go.

Again, slowly this time so you comprehend...if you have 10 million illegals in the country, and most do not speak English, people are going to want to know why. You conveniently want to keep the discussion on legal immigrants when you know the friction is not so much from them, but from the illegals. Remove the lawbreakers, and the assimiliation process will occur much quicker and smoother as it has in the past.

Read the thread, I don't give a rat's ass whether illegal immigrants learn English or not, they're not supposed to be here at all.

But the gist of the comments that I responded to, were from people saying that we needed to establish an "official" language in the US...by law.

My response was then, and it continues to be that the government is forbidden to do so by the First Amendment for anything beyond it's own workings.

The rest of you guys, obssesed with illegal immigrants (as you all are), immediately jumped on the "illegals have no wish to learn English" bandwagon.

Not what I am talking about.
