I agree. \nTo thebeautiful...Almost all of us had ancestors who were from other countries, and yes, most of them were illegal. That was then, this is now. We now have FEDERAL LAWS regarding illegal entry, it's a FELONY.Illegally crossing the border is a FEDERAL offense, a felony. - The issue is ILLEGAL immigrants, not LEGAL immigrants -They are hired by businesses in our country, the businesses should be prosecuted for hiring illegals \n-They pay lower wages to the illegal immigrants than they once paid the American worker, thus American worker wages fall -Americans would do the jobs at the fair wage the businesses formerly paid them. -There is no job they do that Americans won't do. When they say they work harder than Americans, that is a racist remark. Plus, Americans worked to build and keep this land, we didn't run to another country crying with our hand held out. We have stamina and PRIDE. -Illegal immigrants abuse our govrnment assistance programs that were meant for the citizens of the USA when they fall on hard times, not illegal immigrants\n-They can't afford doctors so they glut the ER of hospitals to seek medical care -Our forefathers built this country. Some were illegal, that was then, this is now. We now have immigration laws that are to be abided by, we didn't then\n-Our country fought the Mexican-American war and WON, then paid $15 million dollars for that land and for the privilege of whooping the Mexicans a$$e$ -The illegal immigrant worker is only a tip of the iceberg of problems to come, brought by the illegals coming across the border. They want "reconquista" (reconquor), they'll tell you that. They want that land we whooped their butts for, they can't accept defeat. -They flew their flags in protest of the USA, the very country that has been putting food on their tables. -They disrespect the people of the USA and our leaders. \nThey should be deported and the sooner the better. Our borders should be tightened up and patrolled with armed guards. America needs to wake up.

Keep it in English. It's the national language here and it's our national anthem. Or we can go to Mexico and start doing the same things down there.

If you're here, stay and legalize your status, pay taxes and learn English. What's the point in kicking out millions of people that contribute to the economy one way or another, otherwise leave or stay out.

No, it doesnt matter if an illegal alien invented English, he/she needs to get their booty home, stay there, and go through proper procedures to enter USA. Until they do that, they will always be a tresspasser, a law breaker (a criminal) to the USA. We have lost all tolerance for ILLEGAL aliens. No one FORCES anyone to learn English, by the way, but an immigrant should, so they can communicate with their fellow citizens, and be productive, not insist that an entire nation appease them by us learning their foreign language. We are an English speaking nation, we don't speak asian, spanish, or Hindu, you got that yet? It isn't very difficult to understand, if youre an illegal, youre an illegal.

Use the most basic common sense you have.  Obey all rules, regulations and laws.  Be responsible specially for your own actions and words.  Enjoy your new citizenship yet never forget your mother land and her beautiful custom.  Be proud of yourself but do not be overbearing.

No way Dude! The immigration issue is a firestorm right now! You cannot communicate well, you will be back on your way in no time!

Different world back then. No government, no immigration laws. your argument doesn't hold water. If you are here ILLEGALLY, then you should go back to your own country. If you want to come back as a LEGAL immigrant, pay taxes, learn our customs, obey our laws and try to live the American dream, you are welcome.

I agree with you. There are too many here that do not speak any word of English but yet they want to live here and be treated like citizens. I believe if they want to be taking serious about wanting to be here as Americans then they need to learn the English language as well. It is good to keep speaking your home language but you need to speak English as well

I would like to start a petition that ALL foreign languages be banned on our legal documents. After all, English is our national language. I don't see any other country that goes so much out of their way to make it easy for "guests" to get along.\n\nPersonally, I'm sick of it! During hurricane season our own governor came on TV and did one broadcast in English then another one right afterward in Spanish.  That made me so mad! \n\nBefore anyone starts on the whole issue of "everyone needs to be aware in an emergency"...well, if you are going to live in America, you can at least learn enough of the national language to get by in an emergency situation.

I agree with you on one thing (but I'll proofread mine)... "If you give people to take the path of least resistance, generally they will take it."\n\nBeing unable to use the native language of the country of one's residence renders one poor, and it's true that options are few. Soooo many people here don't learn English EVER because there are Spanish newspapers, television, books, services of all kinds, Hispanic businesses where some of the staff don't speak a lick of English, etc etc. Almost everything Southern California has to offer has a Spanish version of it. People can come here and live out most of their lives and still never learn English. A shame, that's just laziness. I mean, night school is FREE! However, there's really no incentive if everything is in Spanish. That should change, I believe that citizenship should be contingent upon learning English. No need to be a master at it, but enough to communicate decently in public.\n\nHowever, to say that they don't belong here, I will COMPLETELY DISAGREE with you. This country is for immigrants, no matter where they're from and no matter what language they speak. Once they're here, they do have the obligation of learning American ways, including the language, this is true. But how dare anyone say that a certain group "doesn't belong" in this country!!! I'm Hispanic, and find this VERY OFFENSIVE.

Become a certified interpreter. If a US citizen, work for the government.
