Yeah but Americans don't even speak the native language anyway. The native way of things was destroyed from this back when you the USA gained independence. So who you find are "aliens" is funny, as the english speaking Americans are "aliens" anyway at least if you are a true native from before when the Europeans came over, 400 years ago. But back to the point, who even decided English to be the official language? Historically, only the 13 eastern states which the USA formed on in 1776 spoke English, the rest wasn't even related but was taken anyway within time. Spanish, French, Russians and small enclaves of Dutch are just some of the language found out there. Having, one language does make things easier but you shouldn't just force people to speak it, especially when the USA is really a multi-language country. Also, i find it very bigoted to call immigrants "aliens", they are people you know! I mean you say language is the issue, but from what i hear from American media at times, race is the problem here. It's like traits of the KKK and issues from how the black community used to be treated still exist in some kind of way in today's American extremist conservatives. As i said before America is a melting pot of ethnicities, surely that is a good thing. And you never answered my original question, why do Americans hate Mexicans so much? But obviously limiting immigration a little makes sense but people shouldn't target certain ethnic groups, that's all |
A) The US government decided English would be the language spoken... because it was the most spoken language, it was that or German... and regardless it doesn't change the fact that a national language needs to be spoken.... and since English happens to be the international language of Buisness....
It's the superior choice in language. If you were inventing a fictional country today, English would be the language you would want to speak.
B) People don't hate mexicans. Most people hate illegal immigration because it cuts through American's sense of fair play... because people are essentially jumping a line in coming to the US when that immigration could be going to people in africa, asia etc.. Additionally since they aren't here legally it tends to cause all kinds of problems as these people often can't comunicate in english and in general end up not assimilating which is important to a lot of people.
Often times illegal immigrants are used to work under the table and pay them below minium wage pricing out poor wokers in manual labor. Which is a big reason illegal immigration continues. Buisnsesses get cheap, cheaper then minium wage workers.
To put it another way... Liberal leftwing people should have an issue with illegal immigration because it ultiamtly hurts diversity, while forcing the people who chose to come here illegally to live as second class citizens who can't even rely on police protection let alone the social saftey net because they are afraid to be found out. When if people couldn't come here illegal, those people would be replaceed with immigrants from mexico, africa, asia and the middle east who get to live as full citizens, be paid a full wage and be eligable for all programs americans are available to have.
