4. There Is No "Official" Language

The founding fathers had a chance to designate a language as being official...Franklin favored Hebrew...but they chose not to. They choose NO official language that enabled the nation to grow as millions of immigrants and hundreds of languages and cultures have been integrated into American culture...so will the Hispanics.

Until I see large ranchers and corporates frog-marched for their hiring practices, or a serious attempt is made to keep American businesses from off-shoring (including Mexico) to exploit cheap labor, this "illegal" immigration strawman is all hat and no cattle.

BTW...I have a Spanish version of the national anthem here...it was recorded in 1973. I don't remember a stink then.
