The biggie is not allowing in folks to the southwest who speak Spanish, overlooking the fact Spanish was spoken there for some 200 years before English. But of course those lovely friars were just as brutal on the population of natives as the English on the east coast. Oh, wait, the Spanish were also in Florida, Louisiana, and the midwest before the English as well. So, maybe getting rid of the English would be getting rid of the latecoming “invasion”?
“Yah Know…. that Spanish and English are both Latin based languages”Yah Know….. that you are wrong. English is Germanic based, not Latin based. The language has adopted many Latin based words, but that does not mean the language is Latin based.French, Spanish, and Italian are Latin based. They are quite similar to each other. They are very different to English in spelling and sentence structure. English is more similar in spelling and sentence structure to German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages. They are all Germanic based.

But in 2006 the same “Chief Wannabe” said it made no sense to flood the country with low skilled, uneducated workers?

So Obama is like a Chief, not a Constitutional President?

Thanks Jase, I was just going to say English isn’t one of the “romance” languages.

That doesn’t mean the language is based on Latin. It just means that it adopted many Latin based words.
