God help me, I hate Memphis. Worst city I’ve ever lived near.

Hispanics should learn to adapt to Memphis’ own superior music culture rather than import it.

“The size of this population has led to the development of a parallel society where Spanish dominates”

Obviously the “journalist” sees no real problem with this “parallel society”, it is just a force of nature that shouldn’t be questioned.

I just love guilty Lib “journalists” who desperately want to feel good about themselves and intentionally never ask the questions most of us want to hear answers to.

THIS IS THE REAL WAR.

"It is clear our message of maintaining a strong national defense, securing our border without amnesty, holding China accountable on trade, and protecting life are resonating with the voters. Our campaign is one of issues, not flash and expense. We don't have a jet or an army of consultants and paid staff. We do have the conservative message that is true. In the end, that will be what Americans want."

Estimates of the metro area's Hispanic population range from 34,000 to 100,000, and about one in 10 babies born in Shelby County last year was Hispanic. The size of this population has led to the development of a parallel society where Spanish dominates.

Aztlan keeps growing and growing! Another mile marker on the road to CW2.

a polka band on amphetamines.

Probably exactly what they were.

Most of the Ocktoberfest bands in Southern California are just Mexicans wearing lederhosen.

East TN does not claim Memphis...

Memphis is in AR, not TN...

:)

But the illegal alien invasion problems are the same in many parts of TN now...

I live in a border county...

My county is a sanctuary county..my city a sanctuary city..

Thanks to TN Gov Bredesen, who vetoed two strong illegal alien laws during 2006, our state of TN is a sanctuary state..

And so the illegal alien hordes pour into TN...bringing their “culture” and their illegal way of life...pushing American students out of classes where they once had a seat, and crowding our ER’s....

The sale of presciption drugs in their stores to unqualified customers is excused by our local 10th District Attorney as “cultural” behavior...they do it that way in Mexico, so it’s OK to do the same in TN..

Instead of insisting that the illegal aliens learn English, our elected officials encourage the locals to go to the “multicultural” center and learn Spanish!!!

The refusal to establish 287g in our city and county will lead to deaths and destruction any day now...but that’s OK...as long as the dead are only American citizens and the illegal aliens (a protected group) are not inconvenienced..Who cares?

The loud music? The least of our collective worries...

(Actually as a teenager, I had several Herb Albert and the Tiquana Brass albums)

Strike up the band...We’re in for a bumpy, multiculture first future..

Mainstream Memphis often misses connection with city's Spanish-speaking subculture

"Spanish-speaking subculture" - ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS,
plus a few legal residents and citizens, maybe some from the
anti-Castro days.

[isrul]

"...but no large-scale plan exists to integrate the newcomers into society, and efforts to communicate in Spanish are uneven. "

What contradictory B S unless you're mentally ill and believe the way to integrate colonists is to speak "their" language. Unless this an end is put to this stuff, there will be and end to the U.S.. It will become some kind of third world cesspool. Actually, much of it already has.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Why is it when any person not born of the U.S. moves into a city or neighborhood all of a sudden the so called mainstream Media missed something important ?....They usually do miss something ! the thousands from other countries who moved into our towns and cities illegally Mexican or otherwise !
