Learning English

The problem with expecting immigrants to learn english is that they dont have to to survive. Their is such a large population now of all the major groups that many of the persons or ethnicities we are talking about own thier own businesses, i.e. landscaping and son on where one person speaks english who gives direction to everyone else and that person is also used as an interpreter with anyone who speaks only english. So no one actually has to go outside of their specific group, to work, shop, or anything.

Talking

What I want to know is; Why doesn't the Spanish TV channels have English close-captions? But seriously,these illegals serve two purposes, they keep the price of labor down in this country. They allow businesses to skirt safety and other work condition laws and regulations. Who does that benefit? Not the blue collar worker.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Actually, our society is becoming more homogenous with less distinctions between regions and ethnicities.

Bi-Racial marriage and births are the most significant factors, but there are others. For example: People eat from the same fast food chains, the watch national news rather the reading local papers, they listen to satellite radio as opposed to local, they network on the same hook-up sites, and they make regular visits that touchstone of social sameness: the shopping mall.

It's just radically different from what I and other over-40 white people grew up with - but its common throughout the nation.
