I've always wondered how an official language would affect those living in US territories such as Puerto Rico. Would the residents of that island be required to learn english even if all their commerce and governing is done in their native tounge?
Now ya know how a hamster on a treadmill feels.......
If the whiner was here with me and we were looking at a blue moon and I said what a beautiful shade of blue the moon is.
The collage boy would say it was yellow.
On that note I'm done with this thread as you can't make a liberal see the light or the moon from south of the border
I'm just amused by watching several people whose grasp of the English language appears to hover somewhere around the fifth-grade level insist that others should go out an learn it.
Speaking of self-reliance...since when does the government have an obligation to protect you from competition from immigrants?
Well stated, madmag
I believe the subject of this thread was asking about pro-illegal views. I took that to be asking if anyone could show any positives from illegal immigration. There is a lot of posts to wade through but I have not found any that pointed to positives of illegal immigration. There is a bunch of posts that support illegals, but what about the positive impact? Cities are clearly finding illegals to be a negative factor and are trying to take corrective actions. Anyone know of a city that has found illegals to be a positive influence? I can post links to ones that feel illegals are negative....any links to ones that think illegals are a positive factor?
That's more than once you have used that argument. Tells me you have nothing worthwhile to say. I am a member on many forums and most take a dim view of overly criticizing another members grammar. I agree we should make an effort to write as best we can, but not all have had the formal education to help. However, this is no reflection on the quality of their ideas.
Putting someone down never makes you higher...you just think that's the case.
Positives from illegal immigration have been mentioned. Economic stimulation, a larger tax base for many forms of taxes (property, sales, etc.), cheaper products and services in many sectors
cheaper availability of childcare allowing skilled workers to be more productive, etc).
We made it to page 12... Gotta be a record for a thread like this...
I am sure it will be locked when I return.......but I am innocent.
Didn't you say that about five pages ago? And innocense is arguable
