Is America still America?

sassy

Both my husband and I agree with you.
English, period.
Our ancestors had to learn the language of this country, and spoke broken English.. what they did not know, someone was nice enough, and respectful enough to help out..
We are tired of this split language - on containers - phone information, etc. It's n ot just the Spanish, it's all the other languages. I mean no offense to the people, but damn it, you're in this country, learn the language!
Here, in WI, there are some villages, towns, and half cities where you won't find any English spoken.. Excuse me??!!!!!!

Bush is My ***** - You are a fool, you have been feed a line of lies and now you belive that illegals can should be allowed the same rights as the tax payers. I have nothing but pitty for you.

Congress is going to vote on a bill to make English the official language of the United States.

kitty fresh & hissin' crew

I agree! We should all rally to make english the official language of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I pay taxes, I should be able to ignore someone who talks to me in spanish and looks at me as is I am supposed to understand him!

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have wondered the same thing minus the pringels, I believe if we are going to have a choice for pushing buttons for our languages or instructions it should be for all immigrants more the ones who came here to Eilis Island and started this melting pot, who came here not looking for a hand out and proud to be here and proud to become an American ......... not like some......and I would like to add the Spanish Mexicans speak is different than Spanish Spaniards speak
1 more thing when people came many years ago they learned English and spoke their language at home and did not except us to learn theirs........go to Miami

OK off my soap box

It makes me mad too I know how you feel and I speak perfect Spanish I grew up in Miami that's like another country all together no one speaks English any more and if could learn how to speak Spanish so short because I had no choice,why cant they learn to they might be more successful.even the stores in Miami all the signs are in Spanish.then when they hear me speak Spanish without a accent they say are you Hispanic I say no just educated never went to class just picked up I wish they could.

Gotta Know

For now, America is still America but not for much longer if the illegal entry of Spanish-speaking Mexicans continues.

Didn't a lot of these same illegal queue-jumping Mexicans recently participate in mass demonstrations in the USA demanding that they be granted American citizenship while at the same time waving the MEXICAN flag? Such an action just boggles the mind! Where does the loyalty of these opportunistic Mexicans lie?

Preservation of the use of English as the common language in America is not RACISM. It is the unifying thread that keeps the country together.

If Spanish or any other language for that matter becomes the new "official" language of America, the USA is no longer the USA.

As an afterthought. Those Americans who hire the cheap illegal Mexican workforce are guilty of destroying America for their personal profit. They should lose their American citizenship!

Maybe they could then be sent to Mexico where I am sure they would have to learn Spanish to survive.

You are correct, every time, i get mail, in Spanish, I shred it,
every time a telemarketer, calls and tries Spanish on the phone,
I hang up,It only makes me feel better.
Yet I will not conform, I call the people, who send, their mail, in Spanish and English, and let them know, I shred, unless they
send it in English. I will not conform. I am fluent in three Languages, Other people who come here , should learn ,our
Language.. After all this is America.

It's our governments fault for catering to them in the first place....if they had demanded what they should have out of immigrants we wouldn't be in this mess......now hopefully they rectify this situation in a hurry

Angel of Man

We must fight to protect our country! It is turning slowly...America, the beautiful women of freedom and Liberty's, is growing blemishes of disgrace and laziness. Since when do we allow people...who are not even suppose to be here...change our country? We are not there's to mold! Why should we speak a language foreign to us? Why should we loose our jobs to the illegals? Why must our economy suffer because of the ignorance of a few? Because...we have done nothing to stop it. Its time we get together and stop this problem...because it is spreading like a disease...slowly toxifying our lovely America.

I agree, imagine if all of bikini bottom, needed to evolve lungs lungs just because we have one squirrel living among us, and she insisted we all breath air directly. The people that come to your area need to understand the negitive impact they are making.

lucky_j_2003

that is what happens when you let a minority pass rules

White Man

yes

m-t-nest

very frustrating. It's not required to print spanish like that, but like it or not, those little dudes are spending money here and the boys in marketing know that. They know that the mexicans main goal is to be "JUST LIKE US!" cept acourse the language thing. CA did something about it. The rest will follow.

America today, is not the same America created by our founders. It's sad to think of all that was sacrificed, by those who believed in America. They loved the idea so much, they willingly gave their lives, so it could be protected, preserved and passed on to US. It's been such a short amount of time since this country was founded, to see the level of appreciation for the USA is disgraceful. US Citizens don't know or don't even give a sh*t, to learn US History. People have no clue and no appreciation for what WE have here, because they refuse to understand how/why it was created and what has it gone through to get US to this point?
The phrase "Love it or Leave it" has completely baffled the lazy. It's not "Bend over, take it in the a$$ or Leave it" It's "Love it", care enough about it to know what the heck it is. "Or Leave it", you don't have to leave the country, to "Leave it". If you ignore it, you've left it. Left the door open for others to destroy it. That's what is happening now. These illegals don't care about the US, they didn't care about their birth country. They don't want to be part of our system and it's the greatest system in the world.
We are letting illegals use race/color to make US feel bad. And it's working, on those that have forgotten history. Slavery once existed in the US, but it wasn't Americans running the slave trade... It was Spain, Portugal and for a short time England. England abolished slavery first, Spain however continued it long after agreeing to stop. Spanish people were just as, if not more responsible for slavery, than Americans. Some Americans owned slaves, More Americans didn't. We carry the guilt of slavery, yet rarely credit ourselves for abolishing it.
Lets discuss Native Americans, it was the Spanish who enslaved Natives. The Spanish brought disease and wound up killing millions with small pox. After that, they went to Africa to enslave blacks. All the South American countries, speaking Spanish, know where it originated and why they speak that language. The Spanish invaded, colonized and to this day remain in those countries.
The Illegal immigration issue got serious only when we found a tunnel running under the border, then we found another, so far we've found 39.
This is not illegal immigration, this is an Invasion.

Most Northerners didn't agree with slavery and wanted to end it. They took many steps to contain it, before going to War. During this time, blacks were the fastest growing population. 1860, in Mississippi and South Carolina blacks outnumbered whites. If the North didn't care about abolishing slavery, didn't care about keeping the country in one piece or thought "war is not the answer". Eventually, southern blacks by sheer number could've defeated southerners and southern slave owners.
Who is the fastest growing population in the US today... they're the biggest population forcing their way in, illegally, they're the biggest population demanding a right to be here/work here, yet don't want to be a member of the system???
If WE all start speaking Spanish, we'll once again be a colony and another country conquered by Spain.

BRAVO!!! Well said! I could not have said it any better!

You are right......

mimilundgren

Remember when Walmart got it's business started....

It's motto was

AMERICAN RUN
AMERICAN MADE

Which led us to believe that Walmart was run by Americans and the only products were made in America.

After they became mega successful off the backs of Americans, they changed their tatics.

Now it's

ANYWHERE MADE
ILLEGALLY RUN

Which means that all over the world, sweatshops are using children to crank out goods at, what? 25 cents an hour....to "offer cheaper goods to Americans" BULL....those sweatshops are run to create huge profits for Walmart...on the backs of children in India, China, Malaysia, wherever.

Illegally run...Oh yeaaaaaaahhhh....Walmart has enough in its coffers to pay out over 11 million dollars in fines in Florida for hiring illegals.

Have they stopped?

NO

It's cheaper to pay the fines than to get rid of the illegals.

While I know we are economically, a global being...the truth is there has always been international commerce. Talk to Columbus...he was floating around the ocean trying to find a better way to the Orient.

BUT, it is America and until Americans demand we be treated with respect in our own country...

it ain't agonna happen!

Yes, a country stops being a country when people begin to inhabit it.

WTF is wrong with you and that lady with the bad perm, mimi or summat

captcruzer

Soon there will be a bounty on mexican hides, then we can hunt them to near extinction, except the women, who can serve as cleaning ladies

Anarchy99

It is foreign owned and operated!

NONAME

Look, dumbass, your ancestors didn't speak
the language of the Native Americans now, did they?

America is a country of immigrants.

Your ancestors were immigrants.

So stop being so damn racist and accept it.

And quit wearing that white pointed hood... it's silly.

mindrizzle

Yes, Virginia, America is still America. WASPs are also immigrants, remember? WASPs run the place. This is a nation created by immigrants.

THIS is what you're worried about?!? What a load of petty BS! Psycho dictators are developing nuclear weapons! We are staging a prolonged war against insurgencies on two fronts and running out of money! Ok, look at it this way: They are going to build a fence along previously un-fenced portions of the border soon. I think this will eliminate the need for bi-lingual packaging. The companies that do it don't do it because they are super-sensitive to the needs of others. THEY DO IT TO GET THE ILLEGAL'S MONEY.

IT'S MARKETING, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, NOT THE SPREAD OF PRO-LATINO LIBERALISM OR ANY SUCH STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORY. Now, get over it and pay attention to real issues, dork.
