It sounds like the INS needs to start checking on these "newcomers".

O.K. - - newcomers should learn to speak English. Any problems with people making the slightest effort to fit in here or are we all supposed to become multi-lingual to accomodate them?

Well DAMN.... I think I'll have to go buy a couple of his CD's.
We do Speak english here - we do fly the AMERICAN flag, and we do mention GOD in our pledge on our money, and in many other 'public' places.
Anyone who is offended by this or thinks it's racist is FREE to get the hell out and go home.
To: Tancredo Fan
I suppose we shouldn't fly the American flag because it might offend.

"The issue goes deeper than Brock, said Jorge Amaya, director of the Northern Colorado Latino Chamber of Commerce. "The problem isn't what Brock said. The problem is that our community leaders didn't step up to condemn it." no, No, NO dumbass
the problem is your sorry ass sitting there bitching about this. If you don't like it, you should feel free to haul your ass back to your country of choice.
anybody have an email for the city so that I can send some support for then NOT condemning this....?
To: Tancredo Fan
I'm sorry, but if I go to live in a foreign country, I expect to have to learn the language. My wife's relatives didn't expect everyone around them to learn Polish and German. This is not racism, it's common sense.

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Maybe his manager thinks it will get him on The O'Reilly Factor, move a few units.

"But Hispanic leaders said they were racist and the failure of Stampede organizers to condemn them shows the refusal to embrace newcomers."
No, the problem more likely is that the newcomers are refusing to embrace American culture, expecting Americans to adapt to and adopt theirs instead.

Tell Mr Brock not to visit New Mexico. Spanish is an official language here. It has been long before his ancestors arrived.

Aprende Espanol hoy, evite la prisa manana.

Speak English, a*****e!
Capiche?

Tell Mr Brock not to visit New Mexico. Spanish is an official language here. It has been long before his ancestors arrived. Guess we should just turn it over to Mexico then. And each remaining state in succession as they are overwhelmed with illegals.

The problem is that fluency in English is a matter of deep self-interest of every newcomer and self-appointed "community leaders" are simply scared to death that they would have nobody to represent.

Argh. There is nothing racist about asking people to speak the common language.
