How many citizens can only read/write Spanish?

I am disturbed by the apparent assumption that any Spanish speaker must be an
illegal alien.

Are you suggesting that the question implied any assumptions?

The vast majority of Spanish speakers in the US are citizens.
A lot of them are descended from people who were living in what is now the
USA long before the Mayflower ever got here. It really is ignorant not to
know that.

Spanish, like English, is an imported language.

I'm, in part, a descendent of people living here way before Spanish or English
arrived.

I submit that it is your brand of ambiguity toward the proper role of
our government that has led to our current situation.

We differ fundamentally on what is wrong with "our current situation".

I'll take freedom ... the freedom to stop participating in the Social
Security system and get all the money I have paid in back so I could be
allowed to invest the way I want to. I assure you I'd be much better off
in the long run. But alas, I have no such freedom to do that.

It can't be done, because all the money you've put into the system has already
been given to someone else.

always fill a vacuum, and as long as there are citizens who think "Oh,
well, it would be nice if the governent would fill in the blank for
us", we will be ever-more restricted.

I fear this type of insidious encroachment on our freedoms far more
than any overt moves by Homeland Security.

Just because it is overt doesn't mean that it is harmless.

Boy, that's for sure!

I do believe you have put your finger on what is so bitterly dividing
our nation today. Not only can't we agree on the solutions, we can't
even agree on the problems.

True, but at least I can fight what I can see.

Most of what has happened to destroy freedom in America has occurred
bit by bit, incrementally, over a fairly long period of time -- and
(worst of all) has been done by people who think they are helping.

even agree on the problems.

Wiser words were never spoken.

If we can't define the problem, no solution will work.

Or any solution will work. If you don't know where you are going ...
any road will take you there.

Well, the problem is that each of us =thinks= we know where we (should
be) going.
