When was it decided we were supposed to be a multicultural country? I must have missed that part in the constitutional convention, or in the second continental congress.

Dude, no one can make you accept Mexican culture and traditions. Even if the US was 90% Mexican you could still practice your traditions.

Oh no! Maybe you will have to learn Spanish so you can communicate! THE HORROR!!!!

There is nothing wrong with being multicultural. Your culture isn't going anywhere.

All cultures are not equal. If you're championing multiculturalism, be prepared to accept that which you find abhorrent.

Mexicans will never allow that to happen. As bad as mass mexican immigration is, it is nothing compared to Europe's problem. I'll take a cerveza over sharia any day.

Ghost, the first thing an illegal alien does is break the law to get in to this country. Now, I've seen demands from the illegals that these laws be changed to let more in. If that is not proof enough for you then nothing is. This is not a claim, this is fact. In short, they don't want these laws to prevail. There's one example for you right there.

Hmm, if my city is 90% mexican, than I imagine my children will not be taught properly in the public schools?

Yes, our culture is dissappearing, look at the demographic changes of cities like Arlington, TX, or Plano.

Thanks Traveling Fella!

All I have to say is THANK GOD for MULTICULTURALISM!!1
I love having friends from all different cultures of the world, I have learned so much from them, so many beautiful people.

Here is a picture from a Pakistani Wedding in NYC. My Wife is in that crowd .

We have Jewish, Indian, Mexican, Korean, Irish, German and the young blonde lady with the red robe in the middle is Pakistani.

I couldn't imagine life any other way! This is why I would only consider living in major "integrated" areas with tolerance for other cultures, coexistence is possible with many rewards!

american culture goes far beyond that. we have irish, english, italian, spanish, japanese, chinese, african, and hispanic influences in our culture already.

As for your question, the spanish language will supplant the english language, and then the reconquista movement will slice the southwest off of America.
what does it matter what language we speak? cant we all speak both?

and your claims of a reconquista movement slicing the southwest off of america are unfounded and unsubstantiated. why should i believe what you say with no factual evidence to back it up?

My reply was a general rebuttal to the idea of multiculturalism. What Mexicans may or may not do is irrelevant to the point that multiculturalism is a feel-good, naively simplistic idea that is fatally flawed.

Agreed. Why then should we be forced to accept a foreign language in our own country?

Your response would be better directed at those who refuse to learn English.
