"Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain is a sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe."

I didn't say that Spanish didn't originate in Spain, duh. That's obvious. A poster called it an American language when referring to this part of the world not Europe. I corrected them that it is a Latin American language not a North American language.

Yes, and some of them want us to be Hispanic country in identity along with the Spanish language being dominant. Many of them openly admit and brag about it.

We have much better living conditions then where they came from.
Their kids can go to school, eat decent meals, get health care, etc.
These third world countries have little to nothing for them.
And they know they won't be sent back.

Even those with money come over here just to have their kids born on US soil so their kids have dual citizenship which can serve their kids well in the future.

Don't the dumbasses know that English is the lingua franca of the world. Pretty soon China will have more people who speak English than the USA.

You have a misplaced sense of yourself and your patriotism.

This was your stance on earlier posts you have made in reference to American native culture and the fact that they also had their enemies, of course the human aspect can't be reduced in any of this. Your understanding of earlier times vs the fact that America should learn from it's past is lost on you. So you can argue forever but you'll never, ever, learn.....

Relax and get used to the idea that you don't have the final say on things. It could be worse, you could be one of those of the vanquished that now live on the res, or in any one of the ghettos where Spanish is the first language. The truth of your position in all of this is that you don't speak spanish and most probably can't/won't learn any, and, we all know there is no compelling law stating that you have to speak any language other than english, so what's the big problem you seem to be suffering so badly from?
Your opinion noted and I STAND by what I say.

I think the word is "denial". The la raza fans ain't all there IMHO. I say that because Spain def won't accept most LatAm Hispanic people of ANY skin color but they still try to pass themselves off as "Spanish" because of that language. Their kind be better off speaking good English instead like you said.

Mexico is not in Latin America, a place that does not actually exist, they are part of North America, heck even Central America is consider part of North America, hence Spanish is as much a language of North America as English is.

Well the Dreamies do. But they are in college. They want citizenship.

But your typical 5th grade educated illegal with 5 kids doesn't care about "English is the language of global business". They just want a job that pays money.

Well, a person can remain in denial of the fact that a nation's past is always relevant to any current views, but, what would be the reason? It's obvious in your case that the past is somehow seen by you as your personal domain of debate instructionals, but, it just aint so..And while we're at it, attempting to change the nature of a debate, "hating white's past" shows a weakness of one's own convictions, failing to make any headway in your attempt to persuade us of your superior position you felt the need to deflect and twist, complete with your histrionics of rolling eyes..

You have no real complaint here beyond your incessant need to whine, your posts for the most part reflect your nonsensical characterization of what America could look like if we all would simply allow you to show us the way to the Nirvana of a dimwitted notion of democracy. Democracy=inclusiveness..And by extension, the languages of all of us in America, times are changing, and you don't like these changes...That's the long AND short of your complaint.

Wrapping oneself in the flag is simply a way for some to get others to think they have a "higher calling" than just their own selfish goals. Those who fear for the loss of their American-ness are fools, and worse, they are essentially cowards who would deny others an opportunity to express themselves any way they choose. This isn't about right or wrong, you'd love to argue that it is but the truth here is that you are attempting to persuade us to believe in selfishness masquerading as a form of patriotism.
