Cute! You answer my question with a question of your own. If you're a Libertarian, why would you post your support for two possible Republican candidates running for the WH in 2016? Secondly, why would support those candidates because your post history on issues of race suggests you don't want any more diversity?
Spanish being equal to English. The illegal invaders language being made equal to the invaded countrys language. Some people have lost their jobs because they were not bilingual. That is proveable. They now have to be provided interpreters to insure their rights are not trampled on (What about my rights as a law abiding citizen?)The schools have to cut back on certain programs in order to provide more Spanish speaking teachers and curriculum. If you have a high population of Spanish speaking children in a school, your tax dollars is going to accomodate the Hispanic children.
where do you live? what makes you think spanish is "the illegal invader language?" spanish is the primary language spoken by 37 million LEGAL residents and citizens in the US. are you claiming all of those citizens are illegals?

I am American of Mexican descent... parents born in California, me born in Minnesota, am i an illegal invader?
Actually, it is American culture. Cinco de Mayo is only celebrated in the United States, not in Mexico.
On Cinco de Mayo all the Americans go eat at the Mexican restaurants and drink Coronas and Margaritas, meanwhile it's just another normal day in Mexico.

I'd like to see proof or statistics on that one.
I've heard of people applying for jobs were knowing more than one language was a REQUIREMENT for the position, but I've never, ever heard of a person being let go or fired because they were not bilingual. Unless of course this story was made up by some right wing hack jobs.
I think most Mexicans that come to America knowing only their language {spanish} assimilate very well, and learn english as their secondary language, what could be wrong with that?
There are people in America from the middle east, who have learned the english language too, these people are valuable to America in that if they speak arabic or hebrew, the CIA and FBI are always looking for interpreters and translators. How does anyone think American soldiers get by in Afghanistan and other countries we're in?

The fact is that in the last decade or two many jobs are advertising for bi-lingual workers. It is no coicidence that during those decades that we have had a high influx of illegals from south of our border who only speak Spanish. Most of these jobs are regular American jobs. These businesses are catering to illegal immigrants in Spanish at the expense of English speaking American job opportunities and that's just a fact, Jack. Now let's hear the spiel that we should learn Spanish to get a job in our own country. Most Hispanic-Americans know how to speak English so it certainly isn't to cater to them.
Yep, who cares if American culture and identity disappear amongst a multicultural patchwork, as long as that means the GOP loses.
Which America are you from? Because the one where I'm from is specifically about diversity. It's about the "Melting Pot", you know, where many cultures all join together and become one distinctly different and unique culture. My great aunt was an immigrant from Poland, she spoke with a thick accent and always considered herself Polish. Her kids were born in America and one worked as a HS PE teacher for 40 years. They had three kids, as American as can be, and they are all very successful and the two who pursued private-sector jobs are both millionaires who aren't even 40 yet.
My GF is technically an immigrant, though she was born on American property abroad. Her father was a foreign national who was a enlisted member of the US Navy. She's 100% Filipina, both of her parents speak Tagalog as a first language and attended school in the Philippines. My GF is a reality TV watching (don't get me started), football watching, hamburger eating, American. If she and I have kids one day, our kids will be mixed-race but 100% American.
Anyone who comes into this thread and says "this country is already too diverse" is OBVIOUSLY A RACIST TURD. Before I even clicked on the thread, I guessed which names I'd see here. I guessed right.
Who is in fear?
I already gave you my opinions.
America has just about all diversity now from all over the world, how do you increase it?
I already know how to decrease it, that would be called deportation.

So tell me, kaimuki, where did I express SUPPORT for Rubio or Rice in the post? Go ahead and show me.
And please point out where, according to my "post history", I said there shouldn't be any more diversity.
Why do liberals such as yourself feel the need to make up stuff?
