What is your opinion on this?
Answer:
History repeats itself.
My opinion is "illegal immigrants go home"
It leaves out alot. Like in California immigrants are at least 60% of the population and no longer feel pressured to learn our language well enough to do a good job. They have organizations to fight for them to get what they want. European immigrants never out numbered the already existing American population and never could get away with doing american jobs with such a lousy grasp of english. The pressure was never off Europeans to assimilate. But now immigrants who don't even share our cultural history are here outnumbering us and don't think they need to assimilate. They are pressuring us to learn their language and employers just go along with it. Plus, previous immigrant waves couldn't play the race card. Sure there were minute ethnic and cultural differences, but they weren't a different race. New immigrants love to play the race and class card and pretend they are so down trodden like refugees or something. It's a different set of problems.
The reasons the Germans and Italians along with every other immigrant group assimilated is because they had no choice.
Nothing was translated into their native tongue so that they had to learn English in order to do business.
The reason the Hispanics have no desire to learn English is that they don't have to- everything is translated for them- they don't have to learn English to get by.
Why do we expect less from them than any other immigrant groups coming to America?
Why is it only Spanish that is offered when you press 2 , what about all the other languages?
Perhaps the reason every other immigrant group learned English is because they wanted to be Americans.
I heard on Paul Harvey while at lunch today that as of today in the UK no government office will provide forms in any other language than English. This policy is being adopted to force the immigrant population in England to learn English.
that was then and this is now, and there was no lure of welfare
I think the cumulative numbers are very very different. Yes, social strains also occur when too much foreign change is brought in too fast, which is why the 1920s restrictive immigration laws were entered into after that period and is why I think we should seriously consider something similar today. (assuming there eventually is some sort of legalization of those here, we simply have too few classrooms for the children ALREADY here.) But in this case we aren't against those legally here, but only those who created real problems with our own children's education and services and wages by ignoring our immigration limits and coming illegally.
There are very good reasons why we have limits, to begin with.
who cares?
