Guess what, we are here for opportunity. My people will learn eventually. My parents learned in time when they came to the U.S and they are now succesfull.
There are other spanish speaking Latinos to worry about. Also, check out the Spaniards. They're white and they speak Spanish. In fact, because of their conquests years ago in Latin America, Mexicans speak spanish because their ancestors were forced to learn by the Spaniards. The Spaniards were the first Spanish speakers just like the British were the first English speakers.
By the way, I'm not racist. In fact, I hope to visit Spain someday as well as Japan.
Also, not all Mexicans are brown. I'm white skinned. A lot of people have thought that I'm not Mexican until I start talking like one.
By the way, I learned in James Clavell's Shogun that language is the key to survival in any country.
VIVA LA RAZA!
By the way, I was born an American citizen thus making me Mexican-American. I'm not an immigrant. My parents have been American citizens for 4 or 5 years now. I helped them study for their exams.

i do not understand it ,but i love the way it sounds in a song
my ancestors have been in this country longer than yours,sister,i can speak or talk how i damn please by the way
mind games are so fun,maybe ifn youins like me tu talk is this better i aint youns
or would you like me to say i never invited you aboard my ship,so set sails and adios
First off let me say that I am a proud support of immigration reform. My ancestors were welcomed into this country, endured hardship, and then prospered, and i feel that every person from every country on earth deserves the same treatment. I feel that the United States should have more liberal immigration laws with Mexico, and other countries around the world. So just to be clear I am not a bigot.
My question is this; When debating with conservatives about immigration, 9 times out of 10 they always bring up the fact that Mexican-Americans do not want to speak English as their primary language even though English is the unofficial majority spoken language. When my ancestors came to the United States from Eastern Europe in the early 20th century, they maintained the pride of their heritage, but learned the language of the country they moved to, to better integrate into society. So why do Spanish speakers seem to feel that keeping their pride about their heritage means not learning English, which seems to hamper their ability to move up in the work place.
So Mexican-Americans can you explain this to me a little bit, so that I can better support the cause of Immigration reform, against bigoted right wingers.
First of all calling myself mexican american is a stretch. Yes my ancestors came from south of the border but I have never thought of myself as anything but american. I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH!!! I get asked this on a daily basis and it really gets on my nerves. It's as if people just expect because i have a year around tan i have to know spanish. I live in america speak english!!!! does anyone else feel this way?
I'm mexican.
I was born here in the United States (Pasadena, CA to be exact)
So lately there has been a bunch of idiots on TV talking about how Mexicans are ruining the country by coming here illegally.
Um.. what about the illegal Asian (which there are many), Cuban, Canadian, European, ect.?????
Last time I checked the plaque on the Statue of Liberty says "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
Also... EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN IMMIGRANTS SINCE THE 1400's!
Just because you've been born with light skin makes you a higher class??
I have Native American blood in me..
So wouldn't that make me more American then these stupid Europeans who came over and stole the land from my ancestors??
I think the media is brainwashing people. Being mexican you get A LOT of the bullsh*t. I was born here in AMERICA but I still get treated by the way I look. WTF is up??
