The schools have special classes for their children because they need a Spanish speaking teacher. It's difficult to shop for anything because most everything is in Spanish first, and English is in fine print.

I'm all for them coming here legally and wanting a better life, and I know that learning English isn't easy and quick, but it seems like we are so politically correct that we don't want to offend them or make them feel like they are losing their identity, so we cater to them in ways that infringe on the rest of us.

There's a lot more I'd like to say, but I don't want it to be misunderstood by others.
Agreed! Good post! Everything you said in your post can surely be exponded on, but you are right, you would be misunderstood. It is a touchy subject for sure.

You won't believe what I did one day at the grocery store! They had the butter turned to the side that is printed in Spanish. I stood there for 30 minutes and changed them to the side that is English!

Hahahahahhahahahaha!

Just doing my civic duty!

Hahahahahhahahaha! Lord, I was mad as a hornet!!!

I wanted to scream - I AM AN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm off to bed! Good night, HO!
