better job obeying the laws in our country. Speaking more English, trying to learn our ways of life?

I'm not American but Canadian ..its not Mexicans here but another group that statistics canada says in 10 years will be more in population .(indian ( needless to say my view with any country ...when you go to another country you should adpt yourself to its traditions and laws.My friend placed it this way in a conversation at work if we were to go to India we would not get a job if we refused to adapt to their culture . language or tradition. You should respect the country you want to become a citizen of, or stay in your own ...where you do not have to adapt |

Not really, but I think the school system deserves quite a bit of the blame for this. Why on earth are we not teaching these children English?!? It is so sad to see someone with an American high school diploma who can't speak English. Hell, it's not just sad - it's an OUTRAGE. |

No. That is why they continue to wave their stupid native flags rather than that of the U.S. They insist on being taught in their native tongue. They continue to disrespect our country by getting arrested over and over again. But why wouldn't they? They broke the law to get here! They refuse to even try to speak english in public, like at a mc donalds, etc. Its sick. |

It's seems like us Americans have had to assimilate to the Mexican culture and language instead of vice versa. When in America do as the Americans do :) |

Yes, I know a few, but I'm not gonna lie that MANY (if not the majority) just don't care but it's because of their low education. |

of course there are a select few and i commend them for doing so. however, what i see the majority doing is creating a subculture in america. by keeping themselves separate from americans, there are only doing themselves a disservice: by doing that they will never learn how the integrate or speak english. and if they don't learn english, they will not get good jobs. basically, they are keeping themselves low on the totem pole. i don't understand why 70% of all high school students who take a foreign language class in the US choose to take spanish; that only encourages them to not try and learn english. if i went to another country to live there, i would try and learn THEIR language, not vice versa. |

I'm wondering how you can tell who is legal and who is illegal just by looking at them. Or do you just assume any Hispanic person you see is illegal? That's pretty narrow-minded. |

I'm the same boat as you with the language issue, but really, when you come here at the age of 30 its a ***** to learn a brand new language. Do you live in Southern Cali? Most of my adult neighbors do not speak English so you literally have to have there 10 year olds to translate for you. At least they are getting it.
Seriously obeying the laws? I bet 75% of Americans break more laws that immigrants ie: traffic violations, casual drug use, shoplifting, tax evasion... the list goes on. Just because an immigrant broke a law that you think should be upheld, doesn't make you better than them. |

Working hard and obeying the laws- yes.
Speaking more english and becoming 'americanized'- only those who are planning on staying. Many illegals are just here to work, send money back to support their families, and then go back to Mexico. Many don't wish to be Americans. |

Well some yes. But I think we just have to give them time. Remember that it may not be easy for them to leave their old life way. |

Yes, I know someone very well who is illegal but obeys the law ( well, besides not having updated papers)... works... pays taxes.... celebrates American Holidays and has tried to learn our culture. |

Cantcu is 100% right, the Republicans had ample time to take care of it and did nothing.I guess they didn't want to lose their maids,nannies,and,gardeners.All the illegals I know are here to work as hard as they can and go back to their countries,they have no desire to rape the country,suck up the welfare,or any of these speculations.Many,when not working a 2nd or 3rd job,will take English classes at Progreso Latino or International Institute. |

Sadly, many of them come over here for economic reasons alone. This is not the immigration for a better life in a new world that created our great country. They do not seek to become Americans. They only want to enjoy the American lifestyle. Through open borders and liberal policies, we have allowed the two to separate. If they want the American dream, then do it like the millions of immigrants before them have done, legally!
I'm half Italian by ethnic heritage. My mother's grandparents entered the US through Ellis Island with millions of others, went through the process, and followed the laws. That IS NOT too much to expect. It is simply ridiculous to be shy about enforcing our country's laws and security just because we happen to have several horribly corrupt and mismanaged, poverty-stricken countries to our south.
If you don't like your country, change it for the better, or leave it completely. Stop trying to exploit ours for all it's worth while remaining a foreign national. If you're going to rip-off Americans, sucking up our social services, at least become an American first... then you can do it legally!
EDIT: I guarantee that I speak better Spanish than 99% of them speak English... And it's very easy to tell which are illegals... just yell La Migra, La Migra, and watch who runs... If anyone wants to discuss this further, I can be reached through my profile here. I am for greater cooperation for guest worker programs and assistance if they want to become Americans, but insist on closing the border to illegals as it ends up hurting both them and us. |

Some do. But it is my opinion that they do not want to be American, they just want to work here, get paid and take the dollars back to their countries. I believe the people who bring there family's here want to assimilate into our country and became a good American. I wish there was a way to support those that want to really be Americans with out rewarding the those who do not. |

You're grouping illegals as a whole, as if they were all the same and displayed the same type of behavior. Because Americans are legal does that mean there are no american criminals, no Americans on welfare, or committing welfare fraud, and would you want to be grouped in there with them because you are an American as well? I know I wouldnt want to be. So, back to your question, I think each case is different. As far as speaking english, I saw someone earlier post something about knowing people who have been here for a long time and still do not know the language, that's not good, I agree, but sometimes the ones who are working alot do not have time to take classes or are in jobs where they dont have to speak, I mean for those that work out in the fields all day, how many opportunities each day do you think they have to speak with someone in english? Not much, I'll tell you that. It can be done, they can do it, but with everything translated anyways, why would they? |

i've come up with this...illegals (mostly mexicanos) lol are seen today in the news the same way pit bulls are..not all are bad but because there are some cases of them being bad we think ALL are bad..no
good example..my fiance was brought over at the age of three..went to school here, worked here since he was 16 and has had a tax id doing his taxes since then too, speaks perfect english and doesnt have a spanish accent at all. the same with my father and his side of the family..they have since gotten their stuff together..my fiance is trying..but no one will help him.
i think its mostly the older hispanics that dont speak english or that dont speak it well even though most of them do make an effort to learn. Also from what I personally have experienced I'm not saying this is how it is everywhere..but its the children of the illegal immigrants..the ones that are born US citizens that dont appreiciate things and are gange banging, doing and dealing drugs. This is just me though everyones experiences with Illegal immigrants will be different and so will be there way of thinking. |

I don't see many Mexicans or PR'icans trying to do any of those things. I am not sure if they are illegal because I haven't asked for their green card. Either way...I see, in my town, a complete lack of respect for laws, the English language, and basic rules of hygiene and cleanliness. I also ALWAYS see them at home or on their porch making a scene. ?? Do they work 3rd shift? Maybe... Do all of them work 3rd shift? Probably not. I'm sure this means they are unemployed.
Sorry...not being racist, but these are real life observations for me. It is not my fault that Mexicans and PR'icans exhibit this behavior. They are responsible for themselves as human beings trying to thrive in society. |

Gosh rinkrat,you dont get out much,they thanks they are special,they rant and rave about being illegal.They dont mind telling ya. |

Not a chance. They just wave their Mexican flag, DEMAND that we speak Spanish and put their hand out for benefits they don't deserve.
They are just waiting for congress to do the same wrong thing that Reagan did in the 1980s - give them amnesty. Then we can start up the next batch of illegal alien criminals for the next round of amnesty in 20 years. |

wish I were

You don't understand...they don't care! They want to make USA into Mexico. They don't want to learn english or our ways, they just want our country's money and our land! So far their plan is working! |
|

Of course many obey the law (except for the one they broke getting here), and learning english and trying to learn our ways, they are trying to blend in and not get caught and get deported!!!! |

They most likely speak better English than you do! I bet you speak little Spanish! |
