Does anyone else ever have the urge to shout "You're in America, speak English like the rest of us"? I have the feeling that THAT sentiment is a global thing. I try my best to speak Japanese when I'm off base, but the looks that i get when my japanese fails me are unmistakable "You're in Japan, speak Japanese"
God Yes! But I feel like such a racist when I think that. I'm not, but my ancestors had to learn english, so why not them? If I moved to Germany or France, or Mexico, I'd learnt he language so that I could get around easier, etc. It roasts my butt that people are filing in, accepting free food, free this and free that. If we just stopped giving it to them, they might slink back under the rock they came from. They weren't getting hand-outs in their home country so they come here to get handouts from us, courtesy our Social Security and taxes. YIPPIE! I love working hard for some bum.

America is a wonderful place, but we are cow-towing to illegal immigrants fro some reason. Why? We will most likely never receive the kind of money and support the illegal immigrants are.

When I went to change my Social Security number to my married name, I was just about the only English speaking person in a room full of non-english. The English lines were non-existant while the spanish lines went out the door.
