Illegal Immigration Jumping The Border?
I know this has been a touchy subject. Some people think the Mexican people should be deported if they jump the border illegally. While some argue that they are taking the jobs that we don't want and coming for a better life. I'm not really upset with it, but there are things that irritate me. When my grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Germany. One of the things he had to do (and most naturalized citizens still have to do) is learn to read, write and speak english. My grandfather's neighbor came over asking for coffee in German and my Grandfather told him you can't ask for coffee at a coffee shop in German you'll get discriminated. If the Germans, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, and other countries had to learn the english language why can't they? Our country is known for the english language (the universal language as some people call it) when statistics show it might turn in to mexican/spanish. This bothers me because if I had come here from a European country and had learned the english language then come to find that I have to learn mexican/spanish because we want to make them comfortable. (ie. Having all the signs be in Spanish and English). I don't have problems with naturalized/legal mexicans (or any person from another country who is legal), but the illegal ones seem to take advantage of our health care. Some (not all) have children in the U.S (making them American citizens) and that allows the parents to stay in America because their newborn baby is legal and they need to care for it. Any other person who would like to share their opinion is welcome to. Please follow community guidelines so no one gets reported though. Thank you.
