[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 349765, member: 5170"] I read somewhere that Spanish has more of a chance of being the unused language than English. First generation immigrants speak their own language exclusively, second generation speak both their native language and English, third generation speak only English. So by these standards, Spanish will be the unspoken language in three generations. I like Spanish and wish I spoke it fluently. If you have ever done a literal translation of the language, it is beautiful. Intellectually, I understand the resentment to illegal immigration. Emotionally, dude, these people are not cutting it in their own corrupt countries and want better for their families. I would do the same if my family was starving in Mexico. Again, intellectually I understand the problems. As a mother, I think of the kids and their hunger and lack of opportunity. (And I know this doesn't apply to all illegal immigrants) OK, let the angry flack flow my way. Just my humble opinion. I don't know what the answer is. [/QUOTE]
