my take on immigration

I'm reading things such as.......without immigrants, this country would collapse. Someone is thinking too highly of themselves. Back when i was growing up in the 1970's, we did not have as many immigrants/ mexican, el Salvadorians, Columbians as we do now. Pedro came over, liked it, and sent for 50 of his family to come to. I have no problem with someone coming over here and obtaining citizenship. But learn to speak English. English is the primary language. I DO have a problem with immigrants receiving free Education because there are many young people here in the U.S. who want to go to college, and can't afford it. We need to take care of our own first. The immigrants need to understand that we live a certain way here in the U.S. They are visitors, and they have not been here as long. You can't just go to a country, then try to change the laws/way they live. We are overpopulated. And yes, it's expensive to live in some parts of our country. This does not mean you can have 20 people living in a 3 bedroom house. Not only is this a fire-hazard, but how can you live comfortably? In some affluent areas near me, they have these situations, and the family has 25 cars around the property, and causes Chaos for their neighbors. Have some respect for the U.S., and don't tell us that you are the backbone of the Unites States, because before you came in droves--we survived. Do you know how hard it is for us to go to Businesses in our community, and have people working for that business that do not speak english?

That's like any American going to Mexico and refusing to learn spanish, and trying to get a job without learning spanish. Quit whining, if you dont' like it here LEAVE.
