[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 208856, member: 198"] They will still come. There aren't as many illegals getting free housing as you think. Yes, even one illegal recieving free housing is too many but it's not like they are all recieving govt. housing or any other type of benefits. They are a small minority. Even though my wife is one I still agree with that. But I don't think they should be rounded up and treated like animals and deported unless they are raping, robbing, stealing, etc. It's just silly and highly unpractical to think we can deport them all. Fines are the perfect punishment. This has been going on since the founding of this country. There were whole areas of citys, and still are, where most of the people primarily spoke their native languages. They would gradually learn to speak English and use it when the time came. As far as the pressing one for English goes....it's not like anyone is being asked to do manual labor for Christ's sake! It's just pushing a botton. I used to think that too until I found myself working with hundreds of them in a factory years back. It's not true at all. Granted...there are a few out of any group of them that don't care but most, that I have met, would love to "assimilate" but there is a problem. Not everyone's definition of assimilating is the same. Don't think for a second that legal immigrants don't send money back to their familys. It's mostly the immigrants that come from poor countrys but believe me they all do it. I guess I have first hand ties to them since I married once but my attitude about illegals changed greatly before I even met her. I started working in a factory where just about everyone in the plant was an illegal. Before going to work there I probably sounded like everyone else. I looked at them totally different but once I got to know some of them I slowly started to form this thing called compassion. Before my attitude about them changed I would always point out that illegals were comming over here and committing more crimes such as rape, murder, theft, whatever, but once I learned that they were in the minority it actually pissed me off because most of them aren't like that.
