When my grandfather came over from austria in 1916 with his family the rule was that when you are outside the house you speak english, and they didnt know much when the ship arrived. I remeber him telling a couple of spanish speaking women his story at the local grocery store in a not very plaesant tone and i was shocked because i was like 14, now i think it was a good thing, maybe they took the hint and learned to speak english in public. Funny that the European Union has made english its official language but we havent. Some of our fearless leaders have talked bout an amendment to ban gay marriage but not too much talk bout one for a national language. Yet another case of jaded priorities.
Also, when it comes to making illegals felons, while i think it warants a felony charge would be the cost of jailing the felons. Imagine 5 million more people in our jails, prisions, or even the legal system. The tab that would fall on our shoulders would be billions of dollars of more debt that undoubtedly would be bought up by the chinese.
