Chillin’ at 33,000 Feet - Language Problems and Illegal Aliens

Just a quick note…. Like most of you, I have gotten tons of chain emails regarding illegal aliens taking over, socialist agendas providing them with rights (how does a non-citizen have rights in the first place?) and monies, fear of people being displaced due to not speaking Spanish, Chinese, or whatever. Let’s not forget that there are other illegal aliens besides Mexicans.

Some of the things that are sent are valid. Some are not. But people….WAKE UP. It’s great you take the time to stick your name on the list and forward it to me. I love it. I love to know what is going on. And yes, I want our country back.

But if you don’t actively get involved…If you don’t write your representatives….If you don’t support groups that support your ideas and beliefs….If you don’t VOTE…..then you are not going to make a difference by forwarding me another pro-American email.

And one last thing about all the emails I have been getting regarding something to do with having to speak Spanish. I respect and appreciate that you don’t think its right, or fair, or whatever. BUT, let’s get to the real issue and not the symptom: The U.S.A. does NOT have an official language. It doesn’t exist. It’s not in the constitution, nor any of our laws. Some states or local governments have instituted this, but it does not exist at the federal level. On the one hand I can understand where this has come from. On the other, I think it’s time that we made English the official language of the United States.

Even in Europe most of the countries have gotten together and agreed that English will be the universal language that you should know if you wish to communicate. Why, then, do we allow our own country to be divided by language which threatens our sovereignty?

Might it be that the left-winged juggernaut is desperately trying so hard to force diversity down our throats that they aren’t thinking about the long term consequences?

I agree with countries like England and Australia. You don’t like the way we do things here? You don’t like our culture and our language? You don’t like the system? Then perhaps you would be better off somewhere else. Either that or become a citizen and go through the due process to make things better for everyone.
