That's what you need to consider, there is nothing wrong with the land and so on, it's the culture of breeding babies after babies when one has no way to provide for them and the corruption -- not of the land but of the culture itself.

What's the point in fleeing your country and it's culture if you choose to cling to it, refusing to ever learn even a word of the language of this country and adapt to our ways?
Nonsense. "Our ways?" What ways are those?

Mexicans overwhelmingly learn the language and adapt to our ways.

You guys are just scared because they're different than you without even getting a chance to know them. They have the same hopes and aspirations as everyone else.

As for another culture being shoved down your throat, that is where i have zero sympathy for white folks (assuming you are white). They've been shoving their culture down other peoples throats for centuries. Why do you think the Mexicans speak Spanish in the first place? A little turnabout isn't gonna hurt anyone.
Spanish is a "white" language. IF Spanish replaced English in the US; the white people would still rule if Mexico is any indication, whites on top, Indians and Mestizos on the bottom. The WORST thing that could happen to Blacks and Chicanos is more white people because Hispanic culture rewards white skin, look at the Mexican TV shows.

If you say so...

I've lived in a majority white nation all my life and i've done just fine. Guess what? I'll continue to do so regardless. Aint a white man alive that can hold me back so i really couldn't care less.

It's the illegal alien kind that we object to. What part of that aren't you getting?

Ha. Americans w/ money...love cheap labor, cheap products, cheap materials, cheap imports, cheap exports AND, if America could we would have already cut off...booze, weed, coke, heroin, etc. But we can't. And we won't. We just want to complain and tell everyone else that's what they should do.

Most "American's with money"...are like pigs in slop. Fat, dumb and happy.

New immigrant Spanish speaking people have no external pressure to learn English, because their language is accomodated by government and the media. That's fine, of course, if solely-Spanish speakers want to remain sidelined in main society, and surpassed by those who take the time to learn the language.

A friend of mine mentors three (of FIVE) young boys of an illegal Mexican immigrant who all live in a single wide trailer. (Dad in jail somewhere for a long time). The mother doesn't speak any real amount of English, but oddly enough, the young boys can't really speak Spanish, either. I have no idea how they communicate. Maybe some Spanglish.

The children of these boys will likely not have any connection to Spanish language.
I can also bet you that FAR more people in China learn English than Spanish.
