I brink up illegal immigrants because this is an immigration forum. [Mod Cut].
I wasn't referring to you, however should you want this to be about illegal immigrants then perhaps you should be more specific when titling your threads.
Immigrant- Resident in our nation on legal terms.
Illegal Immigrant- Resident in our nation that has not gone through the appropriate routes to become a legal citizen.
That's why I "brink" that up

We do but my CEO chooses not to. Unforunately i'd be out of a job and would be classified as a bigot by the local (bleeding-heart pro-illegal) media.

Most immigrants I know use the ATM or go online. Shoot who visits a bank anymore?
Mach50, a lot of immigrants like to get a lot of cash out of the bank. I'm not talking $500 or $1000 (which i would never carry with me.) I'm talking like $3k on the light side $5k average and as high as $10k. No way you're getting that out of an ATM. This week i had someone want to take out $6k and didnt speak one word of english. What i gotta know is; How in the h*^$ do you get $6k in the US bank and not know any english?!
The stats dont lie, 84% of Asians learn english in their first 10 years here where as just over 15% of hispanics learn english in their first 10 years here. There is a definate difference in cultures.
What stats are you talking about? From some magical source that you will tell us why you're not citing? Or just making it up?
I have no problem with people not speaking English because really, how do I know that they don't speak English? I've been accosted in stores for being a "goddamn immigrant" who "can't speak English" when I speak Spanish or Portuguese- despite being my 2nd and 4th languages respectively. I've found that the people who seem to be the most vocal about people not speaking English definately aren't the best English speakers themselves.
Why do I care what someone else speaks. So what. It's called mind your business and worry about yourself.
Did you make your screen name just so you could disagree with everyone for the sake of being opposite? I dont care what people are speaking as background noise, its more about people I have to talk to that bothers me.

Still waiting for the source of your statistics or your admission that you made them up. As time goes on and this query gets repeated everyone will reach the conclusion that you made them up. Lying is apparently a regular way of life on this list.

S/he has no source for their statistics. And when statistics are presented that go against what they are trying to prove, they conveniently ignore the post, much like they are ignoring your request. [moderator cut: off topic]
