As opposed to Reagan, who gave amnesty to 2.7 million illegals?

As opposed to Bush I and Dumbya, who refused/refuse to enforce IRCA?

And made Taxpayers out of them.

Cite or retract.

A good solution would be to put a bullet in the head of every one of them found guilty of breaking our laws. Bullets are cheap.

Speaking of cars, if I see a bad driver; depending on how bad he is driving I can usually tell if he is a Mexican or not with about 90% accuracy.

Cite? You must be kidding. You spend time reading in newsgroups. Your evidence is readily apparent. But, you need evidence from the ultimate source, here you go:

Huh? Like, where?

OK....why aren't they speaking English?

And I wasn't talking about illegals, either. I was referring to US citizens.

This is actually fairly accurate. Read it again.

Actually that question is rarely asked because the grammar is bad. So why do you Nazi-appeasing, Islamo-fascist defeatocrat sympathizers keep criticizing our Great President George W. Bush over this?

Never mind. I see your point.

I don't know who these "Nazi-appeasing, Islamo-fascist defetocrt sympathizers" are. Perhaps you you would like to tell us.

Is there another President Bush? I would not use the adjective "great" to describe Bush.

The American Federation of Teachers, which is one of the big national teachers' unions (the other being the National Education Association), has some criticisms of the No Child Left Behind Act,

with which I agree.

Kanji, huh? It's been a long time since anybody immigrating from Japan didn't already know English by the time he or she arrived here. Actually it's been a long time since anybody immigrated from Japan to the US.

He does mean the Murial boat lifts, where thousands of retired American Jews were brought to Florida after their cruise ship broke down.

Really? There are a quite a few graduate students and post-doctoral scientists who come from Japan each year to study in US universities and medical school. In addition, I would be surprised if there are not Japanese people in the electronics/computer and auto industries who emigrate to the US for job-related reasons.

In fact, according to DHS, there were about 9100 people who came from Japan who became permanent residents of the US in 2006.

Are you asking about the millions of people I referred to above?

Probably for the same reason many Germans, Italians, Russians and other immigrants didn't speak English when they arrived here. They might've know a little, just enough to gain citizenship, but nothing close to fluent English. I don't care what your so-called "sources" are still telling you. It isn't true. There were and still are enclaves of relatively new citizens where foreign languages are spoken most of the time. There always will be. You know this is true.

You just haven't seen this because you don't get around much.

Most unsafe driving has very little to do with inability to read signs.

Go Kurt Cobain yourself and make the world a better place, gook.

I had to go to Montreal last month for my aunt's funeral. The road signs are in French, including the interstate signs. It's a good thing I wasn't driving because being unable to read the signs would easily have caused indecision in which exits or turns to take. Indecision when driving is very dangerous for yourself and also everyone behind you.

That distinction is not reserved for Mexicans only.

You're a special case.
