"Most try very hard to learn English. Have you learned Spanish? It may be a good idea to get started."

Why in the world do I need to learn Spanish. This is America and the last time I checked it was an English-speaking country.

I am beginning to think that you do not believe anything that you say. No one could be as intentionally obtuse, uninformed, and just plain silly as you are being. I think that you are just baiting us.

I already pointed you to a page. I'm not going to read it to you. Besides, you told me that having grown up in S. FL you already knew all about it.

Growing up in South Florida, it was a good idea (business-wise) to know Spanish and it is becoming more so all over the country. Do you have a large Hispanic population where you live? Would it be helpful to your business to know Spanish?

Would you concede that those coming to American should learn to speak English?

Susie, you can't have it both ways. Either you agree they want to become good citizens and are willing to risk their lives to do so, or they hate America and have no intention of becoming good citizens.

This is the logical fallacy known as "False Dilemma". You can indeed have it both ways, because either option is broadbrushing 20 million people. The truth is, you have both, plus every shade of degree in between, from radical marxist aztlan zealots to people crossing 100 miles of shark infested waters on an innertube.

I don't know why Haitians are turned away and Cubans allowed to stay. If you know, please clue me in.

You sound like you haven't been in this country very long...

I don't have any current figures on their immigration patterns, but I suppose I could try to find some and let you know. I was told there are lots of Vietnamese and Chinese in San Francisco. But I have never been there and it's just heresay.

You can't just take some and not the others..

That would just suit mlc9852, he or she wants to take in the entire kit and caboodle. I don't know just how he/she will feel about it when the entire 6 billion+ people on the planet who would like to live here arrive en masse with their palms outstretched, but I don't intend to put out the welcome mat for them myself.

Maybe it would be good for some people to visit a few of the world's stinking hellholes where almost all the people want to come to America. What they would see there is what America will be like when and if if those people ever make it here.

And if the Democrats think they can get them on the voter rolls they will find a way to get them here. The Democrats don't care about anything but getting back to what they believe is their rightful position, i.e., in total control of every aspect of our lives. And if they have to grant citizenship and voting rights to the entire population of Latin America to do it they will.

Bingo. He or she is just having some fun at our expense. He/she will get no more fun from me.

Ignore it and have your say, it's as much your forum as it is his or hers.

Thank you for that. I knew it did not makes sense, but I'm not a real debate person, so I usually don't know how to respond! Gracias!

It appears that you are merely confirming my observations. And your power to ascribe my motives without knowing my position on illegal immigrants and still determine that I make my living using illegals is simply amazing. The fact is I don't and you are throwing a little tantrum. You must love being miserable.
