Texas Mother Stands up against forced bilingualism
February 8, 2008 by Joecephus
Kudos go out to Leigh Allison and her daughter Ashleigh, who are fighting the Grapevine-Colleyville School District’s mandatory Spanish as a second-language requirement.
From the Star-Telegram:
Ashleigh and her mother, Leigh Allison, say teaching elementary school Spanish only makes life easier for Hispanic immigrants in the community who do not learn or speak English. And Ashleigh shouldn’t be forced to conform, they say.
“She wants to be that one voice that forces them to learn English,” Allison said. “We’re not going to turn America into a bilingual country to accommodate you.”
Good for them.
I’ve got to ask the question, “what happened to the melting pot?”
I’m a child of Immigrants, my grandparents came here the right way having had waited in line for two years before they were allowed to enter America, where they learned the language and eventually became citizens.
Open borders activists like to turn this into a racist issue, when it is not. It is an issue about the respect for the laws and culture of the United States. Every single immigrant group who came here to this country, including Mexicans who came here legally have done the right thing and learned the language and assimilated into the culture — all that is except for, the illegal border crossers.
They come here and demand respect, demand the rights reserved for citizens and immigrants who came here the right way all while refusing to learn how to even speak the English language.
I wouldn’t have been given the opportunity to be born here in the greatest country on God’s green earth if it were not for legal immigration, but I cannot and will not respect those criminal illegal aliens who have no respect for the country they are stealing from.
