Opened borders will bring in many more millions in the US and we will feel like a stranger in a different land. English will be a second or third language and schools will be mostly foreign children. Not too far off if Hillary is elected. Miami FL has all signs in spanish. No English signs at all. If you don't speak Spanish you will have a hard time to communicate.

I have said this once 64.7 million don't speak English AT HOME, 90% of those people speak English at school or work. Half of my classmates don't speak English at home but they all speak English at school because it is easier to speak the first language you or your parents learned. Their Parents speak English with a mild accent.

I know Trump has embraced anti-intellectualism among those on the right, but there is simply no good reason for Americans to not learn several languages. Hell, the founding fathers (the people who conservatives look up to proudly) knew several languages besides English. I'm sure Franklin will look at you in disgust if he knew you choose to remain close-minded and ignorant about the world around you.

I don't see how it would be any worse than it is now so this sounds like a scare tactic from the Republicans. Hilary is an American so why would she cause the nation to have more non Americans? How would she live here herself? She would have to have a translator on call to do everything and being president is already a difficult job. I don't see how she'd want to make things harder on herself.
This is the most ridiculous and ignorant thread --- with the most obtuse posts -- I've read on C-D in a while. The 60 million figure quoted is people who speak a different mother tongue than English. Most of these folks are bilingual, and all their kids will be bilingual or English-dominant once they enter kindergarten. There will always be a large population here who were born abroad and speak another language. According to the US Census American Community Survey, fully 75% of all these people speak English "well" or "very well."

Hillary is an elitist. She will live a much different life than the commoners that most of us are. Hillary will always be in the higher eshalon and will not be put in any position that will make her vulnerable to any others speaking a different language.
There should be SOMETHING in a country, that binds its people with an overall commonality........in Murrrrca, that SOMETHING does not exist.
Hillary 2016-2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Murrrrca? With her as president bringing in every immigrant and refugee that can crawl, swim and fly here we will have no commonality that binds us. We are losing it already.
I was actually complaing about this ealier today. I was trying to help some people on another website and I would say that at least 20-25 percent of the questions being asked by people are completely incomprehensible. I don't know if it is an ESL issue or just illiteracy (see the fake HS graduation rate topic) but either way it's ridiculous.
