Maybe the ones who came 5 thousand years ago.
I wonder how many of those who are making the biggest fuss have ancestors who came over illegally.
" Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door." (As long as they speak English) ...
That also makes it a lot easier to export products south of the border. Similarly, you'll find plenty of consumer goods with directions and labeling in French, so they can be exported to Canada with the same labeling. My new U.S.-made double oven even has installation instructions in Japanese, not that we have lots of illegal Japanese labor in the U.S., but because Japan is a major export market.
Despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, the U.S. is still a huge manufacturing power that exports all over the world.
Umm, "in the beginning" there were no immigration laws so it would be *impossible* for them to have come here illegally, "in the beginning".
You trying to live in these areas or did you try to get by in the hotels and tourist sections? BIG difference.
By not being able to get higher paying jobs, harder to get higher education, etc. You gonna tell me you know many successful people in the US who speak ONLY Spanish.
Yeah, but I still hold out some hope for you...
In article , "JosEnglish is THE language of business and science.
That's BS. There never has been one overriding religion that everyone needed to adhere to.
So, when my local government prints voters guides and ballots in Chinese, they're pandering to Hispanics?

No, as long as they willing to LEARN to speak English. The Irish, Italians, and every other wave of immigrants did that as part of their assimilation to society.
Oh, those poor stupid Mennonites, here for *centuries* and many are still so stupid they speak German.
All, at least the ones I grew up with, spoke English, also. The debate is seldom about English only, but hey don't let that get in your way...
Same here. As long as I made a little effort to attempt their language, I've always found foreigners to be helpful. Maybe if you don't act like un pendejo, it helps.
Hopefully, this language thing concerned you just as much during the last election. :-)
Let's see....they print them in Chinese because Chinese citizens contribute something positive to the society, and pay taxes. I wonder why some people have problems extending that concept to Hispanics? Or, "Hispanicals", as a certain George likes to say.
Tell that to the natives, what's left of them.
Not sure what you mean. Actually language should be a non-issue in elections since (1). you have to learn English to get citizenship (2)have 18 years to learn it if you get citizenship by being born here...
Actually I am wondering why. It should be a non-issue as I mentioned in another post.

The various tribes had immigration LAWS in place. Who knew?
Nope. It's an easily verifiable fact for anyone who knows how to use a library.
Gee, I don't think it is likely to happen often in the US. Do you?
No I got by in the public markets, non-tourist areas. There has always been ways to communicate, lots of mixed language and pointing usually gets the job done. More often than not someone around can translate.
