Barack Obama: You need to make sure Your Child Can Speak Spanish

Foreigners come to OUR county but WE are the ones that have to change and learn THEIR language.
That's not "Change I can be believe in"

Why is being "bi-lingual" somehow better? Why "must" we do it? If I want to stay in the US and I don't want to move to Mexico, why "must" I learn Spanish? It's a silly statement.

Why is he comparing immigrants (people permanently moving to the US to live and work here) with US tourist (people just visiting) in Europe. It's not a fair comparison and he's smart enough to know that. He just can't pass up an opportunity to "blame Americans". We want to "require" English just because we are too lazy to learn a 2nd language like the rest of the world. Nevermind the simple fact that we have no NEED to learn a 2nd language, we still "must" do it because we have to be the ones in the wrong somehow.

It makes me sick. We are told we must show respect to the culture and language of the people that come here with on respect for our language and culture. It's bass-ackwards if you ask me.

Clinton - Women Can't be Illegal Immigrants

Clinton said today that "No woman is illegal" when a man said his wife was "illegal". It seems obvious the man was saying his wife was an illegal immigrant, and Hillary seemed to be saying the law doesn't apply to WOMEN. Is this what Clinton stands for? Special treatment for people who break the law just because they are women? As President is she not going to enforce the law equally. She might with immigration law, because it will all be equally UNENFORCED with her as President.

Immigration Activist Deported to Mexico

Immigration Activist Deported to Mexico

This sounds like it should have happened a long time ago. The fact that her son is a US citizen and she isn't doesn't mean they both get to stay in the US. Children don't have a say when they live, the go with there parents. Ms Arellano can live anywhere she's legally allowed to, and take her son with her.

I don't know the situation, but if she was here illegally when her son was born, I don't think he should be a US citizen. Birthright citizenship should not be absolute. There should be exceptions for people born here when there mothers were here illegally or just temporarily.

But of course that would be using common sense which is that last thing that gets applied to the immigration debate.

Please note I'm not saying that the boy should have his citizenship stripped, just that citizenship should not be granted in future similar cases. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Let's say I break into your house ....

I got this from a friend in an email chain, I don't forward these on but I thought I would post it here.. and I've tried to keep all the colorful formatting it came with, but I couldn't copy the funny clipart...

Let's say I break into your house

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and,
once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors.

I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family

(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs

that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well,
you know, I did break into your house

And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold,
uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America .
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off......... along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.
