I think the English language thing is upsetting because everybody seems to make the connection that if they don't speak english they are a lesser person. They are Fathers and Mothers that just want a better life for there kids. and they and their families will learn english in time. I still see old ladies in places that are still speaking in Italian, Greek or Portugeuse because they never learned the language when they got here...it doesn't make them any less of a person. Everybody who's grandparents came over here speak English because you Grew Up Here.
There are plenty of welfare recipients that were born and raised in this country and speak perfectly (well sort of) good english. I've seen many 300 pound white women that have a kid every 4.5 years just to keep the checks coming.
I think its far more important for a person to come to this country and work for himself and his famly, and not suck on the Gov't tit, than to learn the language.
If a person comes here, works hard, and strives to be a good citizen...I could give a rat's ass what language he/she speaks. They're OK by Me
