[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2221302, member: 25419"] I didn't say they were "ruining the country". They are [I]changing[/I] the country, for sure. My point is, the people that created this country, and their descendants are becoming the minority. Our system of taxpayer-funded dependence can't support those born here, much less those who enter illegally. If those who come here do not assimilate, and identify as Americans first and foremost, the country will not be united. (we're there) I have absolutely no problem with Mexicans in particular (I'm not as familiar with other immigrants), as a whole, they work hard, and take care of their families. I'm sure most immigrants are the same. I [I]do[/I] have a problem with the America-hate, La Raza brand of politics that is often heard and seen when immigration issues are discussed. It [I]is[/I] our house, for the time being, at least. It would be nice for guests to abide by our rules, and be polite. I have a problem spending taxpayer earnings to provide interpreters, Spanish driving manuals, etc...English as a second language? Our freaking high school graduates can barely read, and we're spending money teaching immigrant kids English? Teachers in many areas are overburdened with gradeschool kids that can't read or speak English. What about the ones that can? They wait on the others, further retarding an already pitiful excuse for an education. [/QUOTE]
