Immigrants should speak our language

The American people have to wake up. Things are not like they were in the past. People are invading our country, and they are from different countries. Why do American citizens foot the bill for their care and well-being? If we would deport the illegals, we would have more than enough money to take care of the American citizens.

We can make English our national language, and anyone who does not pledge their allegiance to the U.S. and its laws should not be allowed to be citizens. If they live here they should become part of our customs and laws. We should not have to provide interpreters for every foreign language. Our schools should teach in English only. Our signs should be in English only.

When are we going to start taking care of our country and our citizens instead of bending over backward to accommodate illegals from any country? As for the Americans who think amnesty is a good idea, they also should be deported because they are not pledging their allegiance to the U.S. If people come the legal way, they should be allowed to, but know they have to obey our laws, speak our language and pledge their allegiance to the U.S.

Close our borders and have stricter rules for coming in. Our schools shouldn’t teach where the majority of students don’t speak English. How can they learn anything? We have to speak up, write to our president, Congress and state representatives, and let them know what the majority of Americans feel about illegal immigrants. Hopefully they will listen and we will be able to take our country back.
