Billions of dollars are given to illegals each year. You people may support amnesty but I do not and never will. Doing so will only make it unfair for the people who actually tried and became a US citizen though the correct means. I had a family friend hit by a truck driven by a illegal immigrant. He had no insurance, no drivers license nothing. Imagine trying to tell someone who speaks not a word on English that you rear ended a car with a woman who is pregnant. Hand gestures gave the message and the guy freaked out but all the repairs had to go though their insurance which in the end cost them more for insurance.

There are a number of better entries there demonstrating the data. Unfortunately they do not stream all over the screen and thus might be lost on those who need pretty colors and motion to begin to understand. ...tom... RE: #17/IanS Good pointer.

And while some Spanish service is provided in America for new immigrants, linguistic assimilation is just as fast as it ever was; some studies say faster. Most second generation immigrants are fluent in English (usually bilingual) and 95% of third generation Hispanic immigrants don't speak or understand Spanish at a functional level. So stop your bellyaching. If anything, it is Mexico and other Spanish speaking nations who are being inundated with English on satellite TV, business dealings and tourism. English is becoming the language which every language group uses to communicate with every other group and Americans complain about having to press 1 to have English service? Get real.

As a result, it looks like America is being bombarded by foreigners from all over the world, which is very much not the case. So I'd have to say this very much IS a political post.

Their brown skin or the fact that can speak (or at least understand) a bit of two different languages and you can only comprehend one? Relax, man! The intermingling of different cultures is what gives a city a unique flavor, great food and festivals. So what scares you the most, Josh?

If you lived where I live you would understand where I am coming from. I am not even in the worst part. If I go south about 300 miles I will get looks as if I do not belong in that part of Florida. The worst part of it there are lawyers protecting people smuggling illegal immigrants into south Florida. If I decided to live in Mexico I would learn Spanish.
