This country was founded by immigrants and was built by immigrants. Americans for too long have isolated themselves by insisting on learning ONE language: English. And they do that poorly. It has been said that the French don’t care what they say as long as they pronounce it properly. Americans have been getting dumber and dumber over the years. I wince every time I hear someone say, “Well, I seen him the other day.” The correct word is “saw.” Why do they speak like that? Because NOBODY TAUGHT THEM TO SPEAK CORRECTLY. Not their teachers, not their parents (who probably don’t hear anything wrong in using a past perfect instead of a past tense) and the other misused English words are enough to make me want to stick my fingers in my ears.
I’ve zero against Latinos; I’m learning Spanish and helping them learn English. Instead of spending time on getting our guts in an uproar, spend your time learning about other cultures.

even in arizona they have marginalized themselves to the point of being rejected. by arizona political standards these guys make it seem like they are at the top of their game but they are just preaching to the choir. keep going broke arizona, every one is moving to utah where they recognize that human dignity is precious. will the last mexican and good person of conscience leaving arizona please turn off the lights? they wont be able to afford electricity for a while. no tax base just right wing extremists.

Will King be having hearings soon on the proliferation of white supremacist groups in the USA since Obama’s election???? I doubt it. Easier to feature people of color, ie anyone who does not look like us.
