Hablas espanol????

So I am going to touch on this ticking time bomb... immigration. Now I am completely for immigration as I believe immigrants do 30% or more of the jobs in the US that really make this country run and for some reason US citizens don't want to do. What I am against however is the immigrants who cannot speak any english. I think as a rule of thumb you must be able to speak english and you must obtain citizenship within 3 years. We have everything in 2,3 and 4 languages now a days. Come on, just the savings in paper alone would be huge. I get that to pick strawberries, frame a house, clean our corporate buildings you don't necessarily need to read or speak english to be successful individually but what i am talking about is the good of the country. I know there are millions of workers in the US that don't speak english. What I say is if you really want to be in America, learn the language. If we stop you on the street or at a job and you can't speak english, pack your bags you are going home. The ones who really want the American dream will work for it and learn it. Also, I say do this to citizens born in the USA. You want government welfare and support, LEARN TO READ. Until then, good luck. Don't you think there are millions of ideas in those non-english speaking heads that would be beneficial to the USA? If nothing else a community benefits from all of it's people/resources being on the same page, hell, we aren't even in the same library as a country. Diversity is oneof our greatest strengths as a country if we make it one. All it has done to this point in recent history is divided us. If we continue to allow whoever to come in whenever and accomodate them as much as possible this will always be the case. Look at the military. One of the most diverse "organizations" the US has. How does it work? They have basic rules that everyone understands. Language being one of them, chain of command is another. Enforcing a national language is not descrimination but more of unification. We then can all begin to understand eachother and where we come from rather than just seperate and isolate ourselves from different cultures. God bless and hasta luego, ciao, das vadania, guten morgen, aloha ..... you get the picture.
