Ok then, explain how hiding a group of men in bushes to conceal that they are there and bringing them out all together is not aggressive in any way? Sounds like it could be considered that way to me.

All I can suggest to you is to read back in that conversation where the poster states their opinion to which I replied, he had made it abundantly clear. That poster then replied that ''no one gets it'' and i replied that half the country did. I just grabbed a general percentage there and was not being factual.

There should be a mandatory requirement that anyone coming into this country to live must know how to speak English. Why should our school kids now be forced to take Spanish class?
There is.
Here are the requirements for an immigrant to become a naturalized citizen:
Age: Be at least 18 years old when you apply
Permanent residency: Have been a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for at least five years
Physical presence: Have been physically present in the US for at least 30 months out of the 5 years
English proficiency: Be able to read, write, and speak basic English
Civics knowledge: Have a basic knowledge of US history and government
Moral character: Be a person of “good moral character”
Loyalty oath: Take a loyalty oath and support the Constitution and form of government of the United States
I guess you didn’t get the memo.
Almost all nations have the same or similar requirements to have some proficiency in the local language, if you are going to stay there permanently.
Also, no school kid is forced to take Spanish. Many school districts have a requirement to study a foreign language in high school, with the main options being Spanish, French, Russian, German, and Chinese. Having been born and raised in a former Spanish colony (California) I took Spanish and found it quite useful—especially when I started traveling to the larger Spanish-speaking world.
Again, most developed countries have similar requirements. It’s not uncommon for younger citizens of European countries to speak 2 or more languages besides their native one.
Yeah well first they have to meet the requirements for applying for asylum, which is how most are getting in, most of them are not here because of religious, political or racial persecution. They’re here for the money, you here this coming directly from there own mouths. That is not a legal grounds for obtaining asylum. Maybe you didn’t get the memo.

That’s the thing, they can just claim asylum then are able to legally remain in the US until there claim can be verified, which currently takes about 5 years because the systems so backed up.
Biden had a bill which would’ve made that process 6 months, taking away a lot of the motivation to falsely claim asylum, but Trump blocked it… you know, because he cares so much.
