Hispanic illegals refuse to learn English. They expect — no, they DEMAND — that WE learn Spanish.
Teddy Roosevelt said the following:
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of (foreigners), each preserving (their) separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with (citizens) of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The (people) who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.”
Our political leadership since the 1960s, growing ever more leftist, have sold America down the river.
If people are not smart enough to learn the language of this country, maybe its time to send them home
Its not the fault of a police force that citizens refuse to learn the language.
If they can’t speak english just deport them and ask questions they can’t understand anyway, later.
Americans don't understand the Mexican variant of Spaniard culture. They are intensely nationalist, and aggression is considered a virtue. It's a patriarchal culture that values force and acquisition by force - Machismo.
One element of that is forcing the hated gringos to speak the language of the invader. To the Mexican, if you speak his language, he has won and you have lost. This is a triumph and victory to him.
And how that victory is accomplished is unimportant. If they have to achieve it by whining, by wheedling and cajoling, by guilt tripping the gringos, so be it.
To them, the important thing is that they occupy the land, intimidate the inhabitants into doing their bidding (one of which is speaking their language), and ultimately allowing them to dictate laws and taxation.
In other words, colonization and conquest. The age old imperative of a resurgent Spanish empire. Don't ever forget that the men in Mexico City who are behind this are in fact the descendants of those original conquerors. They don't forget, and we shouldn't either.
