ummm..ok..depending where you live, most of the southern US was at one time Mexico...ergo names like "el paso", "san diego", "los angeles", etc...mexicans have and continue to do a lot to help keep US economics booming in various sectors including (but not limited to), agriculture, construction, hotel/restaurant....

Ive met many members of various races who lived in the US for many years without ever speaking a word of english...

ah..and its not "mexican", its called spanish..and up until the late 1990s it was the language most spoken in the world...now, where ever you call in the world 99% of the time you can find someone who speaks english...

aside from "native" americans..Mexicans were there first...

If I am...by the name tag, yes you would assume correctly that I am a native woman..here is my pet rant:

Went to the grocery store today.

This is what happened: woman in front of me started to cuss the cashier in Mexican. The cashier was at a loss to try and help...the Mexican refused a translator. This pissed me off so bad...I had to open my mouth. told her to shut her mouth and get out or speak English.

Here is my rant, if you come to MY country and want to live here, take the resources from my child's mouth. You need to do me, my family, and my ancestors the common courtesy of learning English. You, nor your people helped build this country. You even did your best to hamstring this country.

This is the only country in the world that bows down to illegal immigrants. You call a bank in Germany, you don't get a choice..you get German. Here, we have to choose..."Press one for mexican..press two for english." That gets me bent! Shouldn't be a choice here either!

You need to remember that you are Americans first! NOT Mexican! That is the biggest crock of crap I have ever heard! When the Italian immigrants came through Ellis Island...they knew they had to learn it. Same with the Irish, Koren, Chinese, Russian...everyone who came to our shores. What makes you so damned special that you don't?

I'm not saying to leave your heritage behind...it is a proud one. You just better not forget where your "chosen" loyalties lie...with the country that you have chosen to live in...AMERICA. You need to learn English. Because now, the rest of us are FED UP with it.

My people had to learn it...and we didn't have the luxury of decades. We had to do it by the sword and in Catholic missions.

If you don't like it...get the hell out! We were here first!

sure it does. it's the masses of the religious right saying all the racist and bigoted things toward illegal immigrantion.

do you guys have a campaign slogan yet.

for when i run for dictatorship?


peace, love and obey the damn laws...

peace and obey sound quite contradicting.
we'll see how this works out.

why are you laughing.
I'm taking this very seriously.

I said yes didn't I.

Are you not included in part of the great people? What are you attemping here? The great people of the United States of America. The last time I checked was a Union of people which fought for what they believed was right. The above you stated is the most "unAmerican" Thing I heard

umm let me clarify for ya YOUR "Great american people" is what your using to describe your group that agrees with you i was being sarcastic in that There are The rest of us Americans that do not and never will agree with your narrow minded love it or leave it attitude .. feeling persecuting for having an opinion and speaking out about it is very unamerican . and feeling the need to tell people to leave their homeland because they disagree with you is VERY unamerican..If you would reread what i said i did not say I was not one of a great people. what i said was i am not part of YOUR supposed definition of said statement , if you need it explained better i can type slower and use simpler terms i guess..
