I don't mean totally conform to the society and forget about all their native roots...but should they take in more of the new countries cultural ways an means. (also by force..I don't mean by using means of law and rules)

And as for mule's "enlightened" remarks about getting rid of some of our own citizens...I have one reply...Missouri_Taliban
kennedy74 said:I think that they should be forced to take some sort of class or schooling when entering a country to learn the language...and have a large grasp on it within 2 years of being in the new country. There are way to many people who do not even care to learn basic english. People could argue all they want on the other side...that immigrants need to keep their original beliefs language etc...but in return I think that only leads to problems....basically just a case of ethnic division problems. People not understanding one another etc....

Missouri Mule said:Silly comment. I could say the same thing about people like you, although I don't know if you are good citizen or not. Are you a good citizen?
Yeah right so Mexicans want to become American...they don't its why many come here to work only and make AMerica more mexican.
Missouri Mule said:I was discussing this subject with a Mexican citizen the other day. He has been here for some time and has his green card. He wonders why Mexicans in particular are given such a hard time since they do the crap work that native workers won't do. Hard to argue with that logic. I told him and I'll tell anyone who wants my opinion is that the U.S. and Mexico should merge. The government in Mexico is hopelessly corrupt and will always be so. So long as we have tens of millions of Mexicans here we might as well just become one big country and stop all of this stuff. It would be a "win-win" situation all around.
jallman said::shock: Thats actually a great idea. I have a couple of puero rican friends that have said that exact thing. They have a really hard time with the fact that there is ANY opposition to puerto rico becoming a state for that matter.
George_Washington said:Yes, I think they should. They should learn to speak our language, learn about our history, our customs, and try to become productive citizens.
MiamiFlorida said:Many immigrants can hardly read and write in their own language, and some are illiterate. Those that are well educated often have a better grasp of our language and history than many natives.
JOHNYJ said:You notice all hullaballoo on Mexican and other south American immigrants holidays. There all so proud of their countries,they just don't want to live there ! It always seems so strange why thses people dont stay in their homelands and help them improve,instead they do anything they can to get the hell out .
