Illegal Immigrants and the Selective Service

[QUOTE=Col Forbin;336428]I totally agree with Know1 here. I know the spanish speaking students I have worked with in the past are the best students in the class. They are thrilled to have the opportunity for a quality education. I don't see how it can be considered a bad thing to learn another language.[/QUOTE]

Just another point of view, my sister has many spanish speaking kids in her 4th grade class in Orlando Florida and there are some aweful spanish speaking kids in her class with the parents being worse. It gets tough on the rest of the kids because she has to spend more time with kids who should be able to communicate better. I don't have a problem with learning another language just don't shove it down our throats as it is being done now.

Want a "in your face lesson"? Go to south Florida (maybe even south Texas, Arizona, California) and see how many signs on the front of stores are written in spanish only. Down there you have Hispanic officials who naturally lean toward their voting base.

I wonder who the great politician came up with if you are born here from foreign parents, you are a citizen? i was born in germany because my father was in the military, i am not an german, or do i have any rights what so ever if i go over there. Most american politicians have no backbones, if they did they would stop all this crap.

You are 100% correct I would love to speak Spanish but don't force me to. Force them to. It would be very helpful when you have to confront several of them and no one speaks English. But, when you get the cuffs out their English improves and you get the point across. Amazing how it works. Ryan
