I agree with most everything, except for the English part. One of my best friends in Cali is Phillipina. She's been petitioning for around 6 years so that her mother can come over here from the Phillipines and live with her and it was finally approved and her mom got to Cali last month. She speaks and understands English somewhat, but not perfect. And I don't think they should send her back for that. But anywho, just my opinion. Everything else I totally agree with.

if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

Yeah, you should at least be ABLE to speak english. You don't have to in your own house, but in public you should.

This isn't England, why should we speak their language? We need to make up something new like ebonics.
We could use JDM's language... Engrish! Sorry JDM!! :D
The language barrier is always going to be a hot subjet, but I think ( this isn't just for the US ) that if you plan to live in any counrty you should learn that places primary spoken language. Jacek is a perfect subject for this, and since I know him personally and have for a long time I know he can speaka da english all good and shit, but the fucking polack can also break it down polish style! I'm from IA and I had a hard enough time learning english as a kid, I know for all those who do learn to speak as we do definatly can't do it easy and right off the bat.

Yea I agree with all of that stuff! You say that to anyone else randomly though and you'll be a "racist." I dont get it but political correctness is rediculous.
Yea my parents speak polish and I do a little around the house. BUT I think you should have to speak it or atleast be in the stages of learning it while you live here, especially if I am paying you for something (whether it be food, phone calls or whatnot, etc.) My parents came here with no english, learning it fast and you'll be on your way.

I agree with every point stated in that quote. It is about time someone it power did so, I've been saying a lot of that since I was a lot younger than I am now. I especially agree with all the race topics, how true it all is. I would have to say, from my experiences, black people are, as a whole, far more racist than white people are. Maybe I'll get in to in more when I am not trying to write 4 papers by 10am tomorrow, but I will say I went on this rant in a class once and honestly thought I would be hunted down and seriously injured by the one black man in the class. Fuck him.
