Maybe Eric Crafton, who proposed this and fluently speaks Japanese, will speak Japanese the next time he proposes something. Then the rest of them will get the point when they have to use tax dollars to pay for an interpreter. Let's get our country back people!!!!!!!!

Hmm, the native people of this land, who were here before before us, whom we befriended, before we scalped them, and forced them off. And besides, this country was never "ours". It's been constructed and developed by most everyone who came over here, not just a few folks who think they have sole ownership of a nation.

So, because Native Americans lived here 500 years ago we should just open our borders?

Correct me if I'm wrong. The "Native" Americans are still here. BTW, the "Natives" were immigrants too.

We do not owe this nation to every Jose and Julio that can climb a fence.

The only difference between you and Jose is that he was born 800 miles to the south.

Multiculturalism is promoted from the top ( policy makers in Washington ), it is one of their tools to weaken national identity and to promote division and conflict between the different ethnic groups. This, of course, is a great distraction from other more important issues like: Who is taxing you to death?, who is curtailing your constitutional rights?, who is imposing more controls on everything you do? and .... you get the idea.
Illegal inmigrants do not come here because they love breaking inmigration laws, they come because their alternatives are worse. Think about it, lets say you are a poor mexican trying to decide your future (and your family):
staying in Mexico: -starve slowly to death
-get killed by drug dealers
-get killed by cops
-prosper by selling your soul and working for or with the
corrupt goverment

So, given those choices, a big percentage of desperate mexicans choose to come to the US and give it a try, despite the many dangers.

So you say: Why don't they go back and fix their own country? Well, they have tried many times in the past 100 years, but every time it looks like they might do it, the powerful hand of Uncle Sam intervenes to save the status quo.

As you can see, it is a complex situation in which the general population of the US and the millions of illegal inmigrants are nothing but pawns in a very big chess match.

I agree with most here, that the cultural identity of the US should be preserved, and the most basic glue is the English language.

To me, it is more important the ideals by which you live, than the geographical location in which you were born. (or the color of your skin)

Jose does not love Mexico any more than he loves the US, he is just like most humans, he wants to live in a place in which he can prosper.
