NOTE: Naturalized citizens are NOT required to speak the Queen’s English. They can speak any language they want as free citizens living in the United States. If they need to do certain business related to almost all aspects of government, they most certainly need to read, write and speak English or be accompanied by an interpreter. It takes about seven years, by the way, for a person to learn a language well enough to speak with confidence.
So, my fellow Americans … why are we giving these people a hard time? Given all American immigrants must learn, like really knowing U.S. government and American history better than anyone who just took the courses way back in high school; not carrying guns unless serving in a military capacity; supporting and defending the Constitution and the U.S. laws against all enemies; and totally and completely renouncing the nation of their birth—why are we giving these people a hateful hard time?
According to 2012 statistics, 40 million immigrants were living in the U.S. Practically half of those immigrants were naturalized American citizens. The other half could be living here illegally. But more likely and rationally, the great majority of the other half could be living here legally while waiting to become naturalized American citizens, which is their human right. There’s a group among us ‘naturally-born Americans’ who would have us all believe that our country has a huge illegal immigrant problem at close to 20 million people. But given our hard-ass U.S. disposition, from the feds to citizens, I think the number of truly outlaw illegal immigrants daring to live among the likes of us in this day and age is considerably much lower than 20 million.
Out of approximately 325 million people who now make up the U.S. population, immigrants are slightly more than 10 percent, and again half of those are naturalized American citizens.
Why are we giving these people a hard time? Yelling at them in grocery stores to speak English, like the language is American or something? The U.S. has no national language because we’re from every nation on earth. Even the Native Americans spoke various languages among their tribes. Makes me wish we could communicate telepathically like the real aliens we need to fear. But I digress …
The real number of immigrants living in these here United States is practically 100 percent of us save the Native Americans, which by the way due to the great majority of our forefathers is now only 2 percent of the U.S. population. The issue is not about immigrants, language, odor, food, culture, hair, religion, creed, color. Wait, that last one is probably hitting the nail on the head. American prejudices have a lot to do with skin color, that involuntary pigmentation that none of us can control.
White people in America have a lot to learn when it comes to getting along with other people on the planet. God made humans all different, and yet many people just hate that about His creation, His doing, even to the point of thinking people of color are not really human beings; therefore, they can be lynched, imprisoned, hassled, segregated, isolated, scorned—and there will be no price to pay. Oh, there’s a price to pay. It’s morality and humanity and decency. Immigration, legal or illegal, is not the most pressing problem we face as a nation. As Americans on earth, our number one problem is what it’s always been from our beginning: puredee hate and hostility for anybody not ‘white’ in skin, culture, religion, and language. Talk about strangers in a strange land …
