this xenophobic crap is so ridiculous. Language flows and changes over time, countries change over time. english is a borrowed language, most of our words are taken from other cultures and have little in common with our nordic/germanic roots.
immigration does not change a country as much as wondy thinks. in fact it adds to the richness of a country by bringing in fresh cultural ideas that keep a place from growing stagnant. it adds to the diversity of a place, which is a hallmark of America.

The train making travel faster and the country feel smaller, the telegraph/telephone making communication faster, the tv bringing entertainment from across the country into the living room, the internet connecting the world. these are all things that havetruly changed our country over time. This whole immigration debate has been going on since our founding in one form or another.
english people hated the new Irish coming in, there was the real fear that they were invading. same with every other ethnic group fearing a change in their neighborhoods. but the truth is these immigrants are not some grand conspiracy to expand mexico, it's just people trying to live better lives. wondy, you might get better results in life if you stopped living in fear and paranoia and just tried to live your life and accept the people around you for who they are. maybe those mexicans at work might not seem so anti-white if there wasn't a cranky old white guy staring at them like they're invaders.

and wondy if you're really so concerned for America then why don't you get mad about free speech zones, which is an afront to our tradition. why don't you get madder at bush who humiliates America daily with his poor speech (he abuses the english language more than any immigrant)? why don't you get pissed off at people being held without trial, which is in the constitution? why aren't you mad about the real threats?
