newt gingrich says 'no way' and calls spanish the 'language of the ghetto'.
should english be the main language in all american schools with only secondary importance placed on foreign languages?
do you really think you could move to guatemala and, upon earning citizenship, demand a ballot printed in english?

hell no
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballots only in English. Nothing else.
Ballots only in English. Nothing else.
No, American elections ballots should not be printed in any language other than English. If foreigners want to move to this country and gain citzenship that's fine, but they need to learn to speak, read, and use the English language.
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just F#ckin' shoot me please! Is this really an issue. Bub
why shouldn't we, everything else is in spanish. the only difference between atlanta and tijuana is that in tijuana everything is written in english!
ah... "Mexicans, the New Black"
POWP
Couple of points:
1)To become a US citizen, you have to take a citizenship test which is only offered in English, so all voters have a rudimentary knowledge of the English language.
2)Bilingual ballots have been available in the US since 1975. Not just Spanish, but Vietnamese, German, Russian, Chinese, etc. What officials have discovered over the years is that they are rarely used as voting is a fairly simple process where you put a check mark, pull a lever, etc by a person's name. Clinton, McCain, Obama & even Gringrich are the same in all languages.
Don't know why ya'll are worried about Spanish, you better learn Chinese cause they will be taking over our country before you can say "Chow Mien". They currently own of $250 BILLION of Treasury bonds. If they so desire, they can dump the bonds and cause our economy to suffer a collapse much worse than the Great Depression!
amazing ANON 2:47, do you have more data or source to search?
Just do a Google search of China & US bonds, then check out the first 4 or 5 of the 37 Million links
It is comments such as these that make me ashamed to call Barnesville my hometown. I boast about where I grew up, but after reading such close-minded, racist, and ignorant comments, I wonder how I even made it without being led to think in such ways. What is the big deal; as long as you can read the ballot and vote---why do you care? Both line, whether they are foreign or not, they are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. I get so tired of this American bull crap; we all deserve to be here whether you can by boat, swam, or just plain stole the land and claimed it as your home.
For the record---I am not Mexican or Chinese, pure American and I vote!
anonymous @ 5:49 PM you left out something. That you are part of the problem. If you want to give the country away why dont you move to mexico or some other place and see if you get the same treatment. Come back in a year with the same attitude.
Amen!!
NO!
NO they should not be in multiple languages. This is America after all so if they want to be in aAmerica and Take all of our jobs then they should learn to speak and read the English language.
HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!
Augustine Cebada, Brown Berets; "Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.
Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. "They're afraid we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They're right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay."
Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."
Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; "We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . I love it. They are sh****ng in their pants with fear. I love it."
Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, "Remember 187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was the last gasp of white American California."
Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, "We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back."
Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave."
Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , "We are practicing 'La Reconq uista' in California."
Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; "We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . "
Are these just the words of a few extremists? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are mainstream Mexican leaders.
THE U.S. VS MEXICO:
On February 15, 1998, the U.S.and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the Nationa l Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S.team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S.team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated. Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for these immigrants.
Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.
DID YOU KNOW?:
Did you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing?
According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.
Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying
attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."
WHEN I WAS YOUNG:
When I was young, I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island. They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breath free. They wanted to become Americans. Now too many immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand special privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.

Interesting //?????
Urine test
"Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on
their ass.
Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people
had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????
Nancy - Oh Nancy - Are you out there Nancy. There are some aliens that wish to slip into the country tonight to collect unemployment and get on the list for social security. There were only 5 of them so I told them to round up 20 more before crossing. I told them to be sure and register to vote at he first town they come to.
If they cant read english, then why the hell should they be allowed to vote. Most of them came here illegally anyway... so I doubt that they care about our country enough to vote. I say WE should take a vote.
Who wasnt's to sent their illegal azzes back to mexico.
Yeah, all of the presidents can sit in the white house and let the illegal immigrants take over because they know that they have it made and don't have to worry about their next paycheck. They have to be millionaires to get in the white house so they have no problem with saying hey, let's stick it to the working american people some more by allowing the illegal immigrants to come to america and receive special treatment and give them gov't loans to open their own business without having to pay taxes. It's just not right that the american people are allowing it to happen. Stand up american people and put your foot down and demand some kind of action be taken to help the working american people,after all we are the backbone of this country. I for one am tired of seeing these things happen. Because of the liberal bleed-hearts say lets take them in and let the american worker take care of them.Bull-S--t.Let's put as stop to this.
its ok for them to work for small paychecks, ok for them to do the dirty jobs that the whites wont do, ok for them to go to iraq and fight so our college whites dont have to, ok for them to cook and clean for us white, but we cant let them vote...or else things may change and we would have to find another group of people to do our dirty work........sounds like what our grandfathers were says about the blacks in the old days.....are we going to repeat history again, and make our grandkids ashame of us........
There has never been a single illegal Mexican that has fought for our country.
There is no problem with immigrants that are here legally that have beome citizens of the united states to vote. But why should we allow non-citizens that right?
As far as using them for slave labor that is yet to be seen, Yes they come over to this country and people hire them over the young white men because they know that they can get cheap labor. I do not and will I ever have a maid to do my dirty work. Its pretty pathetic to see the illegals come over here and take our jobs and the only job left for the young white guys is garbage picker-uppers.
They get all the jobs, gt paid undr the table,and then send their money back to Mexico so that they can finance bringing the rest of their families over. Its all just handed to them on a silver platter. It is a load of bullshit and some of the politicians need to grow some balls and do something about it before this country goes completly to hell. How many Amercian citizens are loosing jobs to these people who are here illegally? How many of their spanish speaking kids are sitting in our classrooms and our teachers are expected to teach them. How much time does this take away from OUR AMERICAN ENGLISH SPEAKING KIDS? Look around Barnesville. Mexicans are everywhere. Jonesboro is nothing but mexicans. They all own resturants and night clubs, etc., Who is footing all the taxes? Why cant American citizens get all the perks that "immigrants" get? My list of ramblings could go on and on but there is no point. There are too many bleding heart Liberals that think these people deserve all the breaks wheather they are here legally or not.
We need to build a Wall all around the good old USA and no one else should be allowed in...especially Mexicians and Dot heads. We have enough here already to take ove the country.
