Mexican president says it's okay to put troops on the border but don't arrest Mexicans illegally crossing the border. What? How about we shoot anyone sneaking across. How about that?
Turns out the 1200 national guard troops are not actually going to be manning the border, they are going to be in the back offices. So once again the government is just all talk and no action. This is all for show to make it look like Obama is actually doing something.

Teddy Roosevelt defeated the evil empire of Nicuragua and some mexicans. he also killed a mexican with his bare hands. was he not a better president than Reagan? Reagan never killed a mexican with his bare hands. Reagan cheated When he tried to stop the awesome power of the Nicuraguan empire that, in addition to being 'ten days marching distance from Texas', was also evil. Compared to T. Roosevelt Reagan was a complete douchebag.

what did you learn when you went to a mexican restaurant? what were you hoping to learn?

Mexicans and other latinos who speak Spanish never say "Americans speak American"
they say Americans speak English

however, I've heard a lot of Americans saying "He/she speaks Mexican"

should I blame McDonald's or Coca-Cola??

I don't want to come across rascist or mean, I am just really curious about this and can't ask the person directly because I don't want to offend her. I live in L.A. and work with with this 25 year old Mexican female who has lived in the U.S. since she was 2. Her vocabulary and English is very poor considering she lived here since the age most people start to speak. For instance, she may refer to fish (plural) as "fishes" - stuff like that. I realize that her parents must not have spoken English, which slowed the process, but she has lived here 23 out of the 25 years of her life. Any ideas?

I wanted to know the address to write S.P.M (south park mexican) (Carlos Coy) owner of Dope House records in jail?

Why did Obama Invite this guy to come and speak out against the wishes of the American people?

is it because he cant find anyone who wants to fall on this sword?

@Jared
if you put a little effort you could try backing up your claims

I decided a few days ago that I want to be bilingual, but I have no idea which language is easiest. Obviously, I only speak english, but I know a few words/phrases in Spanish, because I have a mexican friend, and my brother is taking Spanish in school. So I picked up a few things here and there, but not too much. And I'm not interested in learning Spanish. I kinda want to learn French, but I don't know the difficulty of it. So, what's the easiest to learn?

If i had a dollar for every time i saw Mexicans describing themselves as Spanish, i'd get to bang Obama's wife cause i'd then be rich. Just because you speak Spanish, doesn't mean you're Spanish. That's like saying Americans are English, cause most speak English.

....how much effort do illegal immigrant make to integrate themselves into American culture?

Since I was 15 a bunch of mexican's that speak barely any English have called me Lucy. I don't know why or what it means so does anyone else know?

A Mexican woman in my office makes two visits per year to the grave stone of someone who died 20 years ago. She takes time off of work to go and speak to the dead person in hopes that he hears her..................are all Mexicans like this and if so, why?
I never heard of such a thing on the scale that Mexicans do it.

its the program where mexican farm workers were cheated out of money long ago.

Like can you tell me what each paragraph should say? it has to be 3 pages long and 4-7 paragraphs! thanks

I am a Third Generation Mexican American and although some people in my family speak Spanish as in my relatives and grandparents, I speak English and I consider myself american but why is it that people say I am not an american and a Mexican even though I was born in the United States and I am a legal citizen. Also, I would like to know your opinions. Am I American Or Mexican?

I need to chose between spanish, french, german and mandarin for my foreign language class. Im already fluent in Spanish, as im mexican, so I really have 3 languages to choose from. Im leaning towards German, but I can easily change mind.
I obviously tried to apply for spanish, but they didnt let me choose it, because its not in the spirit of "multicultarism".

do you know the spanish translation of mexican pastries like empanadas filled with custard? more varieties are better, so I can be familiar with other kinds I saw in a bakery.

Here in California I have noticed that most Mexican Americans refer to other Mexicans as "Spanish". Why? Just speaking Spanish doesn't make one Spanish. Being from Spain makes one Spanish. I speak English, but I'm not from England so I'm not English. I almost get the feeling that Mexicans here in California regard the word Mexican as an insult. Why? Being from Mexico makes one Mexican just as surely as being from Italy makes one Italian.

For example when you hear a Mexican or Latin American Person speaking English ?

No offense, just a question

I recently learned that Mexican rice is made with chicken broth and tortillas/chips are sometimes made with lard.

Can someone confirm whether the well-known chains such as Chipotle, Baja Fresh, and Taco Bell use chicken broth in their rice? I know Baja Fresh does not use lard but I wasn't sure about the chicken broth.

Thanks.

Why they keep sending me violation notes in Spanish if I write my messages in English?

Nana and Tata?

I believe it came from Nahuatl Mexican Language.

I am a Mexican, trying to learn Japanese. I have been studying for the past 5 or 6 months now. I know and understand a lot. I understand the basic gist of the video, but I still have trouble forming my sentences. I find the Japanese pronounciation very easy, but I am wondering if spanish speaking people have a noticeable accent when speaking Japanese. (Japanese people have a bit of an accent when speaking spanish btw, especially that they mix the l's and r's and stress some words incorrectly.)

I cant help but stress my words incorrectly sometimes like when i speak spanish. i also roll my r's to much. i didnt know quite how to phrase this question, but just what would i sound like with a light spanish accent? is it exotic, or difficult to understand? what connotations come with it, if that makes sense. what would you think if you heard me speak japanese?

This is a Mexican speaking Japanese, doing a speech presentation in a class in Japan. (He is a bit more fluent than me though)

I can't think of a single immigrant, illegal or legal, who refused to speak English. usually the illegals struggle, but they try.

I wish I could say the same of my own countrymen in regards to Spanish.

so be 100% honest: have you REALLY ever met an immigrant, illegal or otherwise, who refused to speak or learn English given the opportunity?
40 MILLION people in the USA speak Spanish as their primary language. that's reason enough to learn.
I grew up in an agricultural area 30 minutes outside SF, I know ALOT of immigrants.

The problem is i don't know where to take classes. Does anyone know where i can learn to make mexican gelatin? in South California, SD to be specific.

What are the pros and cons of each city? Prague has a special vibe that attracts us dearly but it seems everything in Munich is better organized and works better.
We are both 31 years old. In a couple of years we plan on starting a family. My wife is German of Czech parents. I am Mexican. Language wouldn't be a problem.

In history class i drew these 2 countries out of a hat and have to write about the people/culture.
They all look like the same Mexican people to me. I cant find anything on the internet.
What is the difference between these people?
Thanks!
