you my friend are so wrong!!! Most of the Mexicans I come up with cant speak English and dont even make an attempt too..For example.. Living next door to me is a Mexican family that have lived there for at least 10 years... and NO one in the whole family speaks a word of ENglish.... they all say no habla english.. Why? they live here dont they? So then why do we cater to these people? Why must we print everything in ENglish as well as Spanish..why must I hear recordings in ENglish as well as Spanish.. My parents came to the US in the late 1940's... and they both learned the language and now my mom speaks perfect English. My question is why do the mexicans dont even make a attempt to at least learn the language.. Its because they are too lazy... and they know that the US will cater to them

i have taken a few vacations to many carribean locations, including mexico ,and they all can speak enough english so that i could get along quite well, and a lot of the menues in restaurants were bi-lingual ,so at least i knew what i was ordering,they take american money too

I work with an ESL teacher who is a Mexican native married to an American and now a citizen. She graduated from the University of Mexico City and has a masters from UNT. According to her, what is being passed off as Spanish and nothing more than the Spanish version of Ebonics. She is equally appalled that there are students who have come from PreK through senior year in high school and despite all best efforts of the school, still are not fluent. What is odd is that we also have kids from places as diverse as Korea, Vietnam and Pakistan. Those kids don't have the benefit of ESL and in addition, their parents WANT them to learn English. Most of them work very hard to become fluent because their families came here to better themselves, not to sponge off of the largesse of the nation. Once again, I have no problem with someone who comes here legally and becomes a member of the society. I do have problems with those who sneak in and demand services for which they have not paid. And finally, since learning English is one of the requirements for citizenship, explain how we need ballots in so many languages since ONLY CITIZENS SHOULD BE VOTING??????!!!!!!

silvermoon, are you in the habit of making wide sweeping generalizations with out any knowledge or research of what you are mis-representing? just type into any search engine and ,just to name 2, france and italy ,have problems with illeagal immagration also, just not on the scale that we do. look at italy's borders and you do not see an entire continent on their southern border like usa

Much bigger issues to tackle like the global warming scam, illegal immigration, terrorism, etc.

and txhank? my experiences are obviously different from yours, therefore, i'm not wrong, and neither are you. but from my end, i haven't had one experience of a hispanic not making an effort, and not being an ass about it..which is more than i can say for an english-speaking person, when i correct their 3rd grade spelling. "so, i know what i mean!"

sorry..not going to cut it. oh, and yes, other countries do cater to americans, in many ways..and it's surprising, seeing as how we treat our own
and before anyone starts, i am not for getting into our country illegally.

and considering that you group all hispanics together by saying "they're lazy" in general says more about you than anything else you said

and one more thing, before someone comments, because i know they're going to...

i don't capitalize when noting, sometimes when typing, simply because it's fast in this way

however, i'm refering to the easy spelling errors and the bad grammer...such as, "why do the mexicans dont even make a attempt"

^^ there's just no excuse for that crap

so...was that supposed to be funny? because i really can't tell, seeing as how i don't take proper education as something at which to poke fun

So what your say is a person like myself doesn’t have a right to voice my view on illegals in America? Lmao lmao. I’m not the best speller, and sometimes I just hit the wrong keys, and sometimes I just do it on purpose to drive an aul people like you up the wall.
But to say America citizens don’t have a right to express their anger over illegals in this country is crazy.

i don't keep up with court reporter news..sorry..

in any case, i didn't say one word about illegals...everyone is entitled to express their opinion, and my opinion was it would be in your (that's a general your..doesn't mean just you) best interest to stay out of the debate on giving hispanics "help" as far as language barriers go, if you, yourself, can not speak or write the language properly

try and reread my post again...:)
