Fair enough so where are all the signs and conveniences for the french, polish, hungarians, russians, japanese, etc... ?
They pay taxes too I'm sure.
I've never heard press 2 for japanese, press 3 for russian, press 4 for french, press 5 for polish, press 6 for cherokee, etc..
The problem is people think that the melting pot term means bring your culture with you. It was supposed to be a mixing a cultures, not multiple cultures existing under one blanket.
So far as people who scream racism, and wonder why ere only going after hispanics: Don't you go after the biggest part of the problem first?

LOL... I thinking your reaching bud. There are government resources in other languages besides English and Spanish. However the predominance is going to be in English followed by Spanish simply because it reflects the population.

The idea of allowing people from Mexico to cross the border to work is a genuine threat to the lower middle class workers in the U.S. The large corporations love the idea and that is why nothing is being done. Look at the ones that benefit the most from the types of labor that is performed by these hard working, industrious, family oriented people. Look at the way they live and then look at the people at the top. The anger being displayed in this forum is directed at the weakest link in the chain by the ones that will soon be. This is the way it is and has always been in any capitalist society. Be realistic and get competitive...

"SAN DIEGO - A total of 359 immigration violators from 15 different nations were arrested here during the past two weeks by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers as part of Operation Return to Sender, an ongoing ICE initiative targeting criminal aliens, foreign nationals with final orders of deportation, previously deported aliens, and other immigration violators.
Illegal Aliens Drive Another Hospital To Closure By Digger Here's a nice article from the New York Times on the recent announcement by Northridge Hospital Medical Center that they will be closing by December 31. This follows a recent announcement of the closure of the emergency room at Elastar Community Hospital in East Los Angeles. Four other emergency rooms have closed in the county in the last two years. The reason given is the high cost of treating uninsured people. The article also states that 70 hospital emergency rooms and trauma centers have closed in California since 1990. "We're mandated to treat anyone who comes in through those doors, regardless of their ability to pay," Tracey Veal, a spokeswoman for the Northridge hospital, said. Ms. Veal estimated that the hospital had spent $13 million on so-called charity care in the fiscal year that ended on June 30.
LOS ANGELES — This is part three of a five-part series looking at how illegal immigration affects U.S. border security, the criminal, health care and education systems, as well as the economy. Watch the series this week on FOX News Channel. Overburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support. Sixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor. According to the State Association of Hospitals (search), California's public health system is "on the brink of collapse." In Los Angeles County, patients can wait four days for a hospital bed and up to two years for gallbladder surgery. "The hospitals are closing because of the totality of the uninsured," said Dr. Thomas Garthwaite, director of the Los Angeles County Health Department (search). "If you're legally a resident in California and you're poor, you have a right to basic services."
LOS ANGELES — Mexican immigrants hoping to cross the Mexico-U.S. border can use an illustrated guide to help them break U.S. immigration laws (search) and live in the United States illegally.

They have entered the country illegally which makes them criminals. They are taking jobs away from the Mexicans who entered this country LEGALLY. They are an invading army trying to occupy the United States Of America and create a new country called AZTLAN. I can keep going with this, but it pisses me off too much.

1. They are breaking the law crossing the border, hence the name illegal alien.
2. It's not fair to those immigrants who follow the rules.
3. They do not pay taxes and are a drain on resources for legal Americans.
4. They are bypassing medical checks and reintroducing diseases.
5. They are bringing their gang(MS13) mentality with them.
