So this guy ran a German newspaper in Texas, eh? Don't you hate how those damn German immigrants won't assimilate--they even refuse to learn English! Instead, there are German shops, and German newspapers--you walk on the streets of the Upper East Side nowadays, and it's like being back in Berlin! On top of that, they're importing foreign ideas of Socialism onto our soil AND taking jobs from Americans. It's time to take control of immigration.

My ancestros came from Germany, Hessen - Darmstadt area to be exact.
They came to America to be CITIZENS, not SUBJECTS.
They threw aside their language and learned English so they could be AMERICANS.

THAT is what America was, and should still be.

You are truly ignorant. We learned English as soon as we moved here and have assimilated quite well. There's nothing wrong with keeping some of our customs over the generations. BTW, we call ourselves American and not German-Americans like some other "minority" groups.

There was a lot of German in America until we got involved in two wars against Germany. So I guess the solution to the problem of illegal hispanic immigation and the extensive use of Spanish in America is to go beat up their homeland.

Germans immigrated to Texas YEARS ago, my friend .....
