"This huge influx of predominantly hispanic illegals has helped create numerous areas in this country where people speak no english . . . "
In those areas, it is simply not true that people do not speak english at all.
>Now you're your using examples of extremism to refute my >mainstream points.
In the 1860's, the anti-coolie act represented the mainstream position of californians where it was passed. During WWII, Japanese internment represented the mainstream position of the country. In the 1800's, the Jim Crow laws represented mainstream thinking.
Someday today's anti-hispanic-immigrant sentiment will be considered extremism. Saying that the influx of hispanic immigrants is damaging the US will seem as silly as saying that the influx of irish damaged the US during the potato famine.
Fortunately, we're not passing laws against them yet. We may actually have learned the lessons of history this time.
