Bienvenidos a los estados unidos

Have the Republicans suddenly started to get a smaller dose of stupid juice each morning?  Could it be that they've decided not to continue self-destructing as a national political party? 

¿o es el GOP la fiesta vieja y gorda?

I often remind folks that, geographically speaking, the majority of the United States han hablado en español desde el siglo 16.

(o... los esclavos...)

Nuevo Mexico, anyone?  It's a state!

If we're so worried about our English roots, we should remember that at the time of the Revolution, the thirteen colonies had more non-Britons than ever before.  And our founders: most spoke, or at least read and wrote a number of languages, from Greek to French.



We might have bought the Louisiana Purchase from France, but they had just gotten it from Spain...

....oh yes, we're talking about citizenship, not paranoia about an invasion of murderous Mexicans speaking Spanish as a means to exploit us and charge too much to cut the grass, clean the dishes and watch the kids.


Thanks for the profiling, John McCain: "we have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes, and even watch our children while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great."

Todos tienen que aprender español al mismo tiempo que aprenden inglés.  



Vivimos en un país bilingüe.
