how very ironic, those people want immigrants to conform to their way of life but the never once in their history conformed to the native's way of life. One word defines them: Hypocrites

IF YOU ARE A TRUE AMERICAN OF THIS COUNTRY YOU NEED TO FORGET THE ENGLISH AND SPAINISH LANGUAGE. THIS IS STILL NATIVE AMERICAN LAND, WE DID NOT SOLD IT TO NOBODY. ENGLISH AND SPAINISH IS A IMMIGRANT LANGUAGE TO THIS COUNTRY. FORGET THE WHITE LAW IM NATIVE AMERICAN AND I CAN LIVE AND DO WHAT EVER I WANT ON THIS LAND. FUCK YOUR WHITE ANSESTORS FOR STEALING NATIVE LANDS. NATIVE PRIDE 4 LIFE. WE AS THE NATIVE OF USA WILL FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THIS ANCIENT LAND.

Ok, so they say: "We want for people to come here legally & speak English" Well, tell me how you're suppose to make it here legally, there's no ways at all, but please tell me a way, so I can get my wife and mother of my 2 boys back from Guatemala, she came here legally with a visa, I married her, I'm a citizen, we have children, yet immigration denied her to stay and deported her back in 2008, we are still waiting to have her back, what more prove than WE HAVE FUCKING CHILDREN & WE"RE MARRIED!

Re: the lady at 3:26 - don't EVER say "I'm Mexican@ so I can say this." I am Mexicana too and I'm SICK of that qualifier being code for "Screw you, I got mine."
