While one can have pride in our own
language (although taken from the English), I for one would like to have
accomplished bilingualism. Our use of the English language is so prevelant
that we hardly need a law to require its use.

Something to think about, this is
the only country I know of where the language of the country is not dictated
by either Law or a Constitution. Check out some other countries. If they speak
English They are paid extra by either the Government or a Company. And their
Signs are not Bilingual. Bob Kaldunski
Mexican
Standoff
I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I
think
Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a
huge
public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations. I
don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United
States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the
first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is
flat out wrong and I don't care how many la la land left heads come out
of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons. I
don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have anything
against Mexicans! I just have something against criminals and anybody who
comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe
it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and
see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is
that it's tantamount to saying, I am going to come into your country even
if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about
it. It's an in your face action and speaking just for me I don't like it
one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in
Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening. Where
are you, you bunch of lilly livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry
excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the
water out of the Potomac again? And even if you pass a bill on
immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it
won't mean anything anyway. Besides, what good is an other law going to
do when you won't enforce the ones on the books now? And what ever
happened to the polls guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential
finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls
this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want
something done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger
everyday. This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for
being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with
the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these
people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics
take to the streets? If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and
Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it
means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and
grandchildren will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as
you get re-elected. Shame on you. One of the big problems in America
today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any
group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the
media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to
call you. Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still
rocking and rolling and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not.
And the truth is that the gutless, gonad less, milksop politicians are
just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't
have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the face reality. And
reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12
million illegals in this country and turn around and say, Oh it's ok,
ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist. And I know
that some of you who read this column are saying Well what's wrong with
that? I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars
as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or
what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going
to. Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already
subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor
as well? If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a
blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan? I think
not. All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who
have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show
you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang
who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you
about the living conditions of the Mexican illegals some fat cat hired to
pick his crop. I want to make two predictions. No. 1: This
situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our
streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try
to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre. No
2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon
of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after
which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced
and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen
and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I don't know about
you but I would love to see just one major
politician stand up and
say, I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose,
this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it
straightened out. I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America,
but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any
others. And by the way, this is America and our flag has Stars and
Stripes. Please get that other one out of my face. Pray for our
troops.
God Bless America
