But coming from an area which has a very rich ethnic background and being a nurse, I deal with many older people who still do NOT speak English. And no, they are not Hispanic. They are Polish, Slovak, Russian and Italian! Many of the early immigrants in my area where from those countries, hence we now have a problem with too many Catholic churches in our communities. Each nationality built their own church because they did not speak English and wanted to worship with others who spoke their native tongue. We are now closing down churches because some small towns here have 4-5 Catholic Churches and not enough priests.<br />Many of the older immigrants NEVER learned English including my father's mother and my hubby's grandmother.They still spoke only Polish to the day they died.<br />It is no so easy to go to a foreign country and learn a different language and culture. It will take some time....maybe another generation as it did here in my area.<br />DebbieDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-5365137925949069592010-04-30T05:16:00.888-06:002010-04-30T05:16:00.888-06:00Great post and how nice that the ladies brought yo...Great post and how nice that the ladies brought you such a nice treat!<br /><br />Being from the capital of illegals (CA) I don't have much sympathy for them..our ancestors had to come here the LEGAL way. Good for Arizona! Now it makes me sad that all these companies and politicians are calling for a boycott of Arizona. I don't know who all these idiots think they are helping, but so many 'regular' folks who hold jobs in the hospitality area are going to suffer.<br />xo<br />BarbDogmom Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200083614598683445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-73463563669631348702010-04-29T10:30:31.067-06:002010-04-29T10:30:31.067-06:00This is a beautiful post.

They are not citizens and not entitled to any government funded services. I am pro immigration but anti illegal immigration. They are NOT the same thing. They are breaking the law - yet there are no laws Americans can break without penalty. Mexico has some of the most draconian immigration laws severely restricting immigration. Beyond that, what other people immigrated to the US and refused to adapt to the culture and learn the language?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-77301205455630970962010-04-28T16:31:08.828-06:002010-04-28T16:31:08.828-06:00Thanks for your perspective on the issue of immigr...Thanks for your perspective on the issue of immigration. I live on the coast of NC where many illegals are working for landscapers. It's a sad situation.<br />I hope something can be done to encourage coming to our country the legal way.<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-23128622277842789372010-04-28T10:27:08.201-06:002010-04-28T10:27:08.201-06:00Aine,
Well said on your blog. Even though there ...Aine, <br /><br />Well said on your blog. Even though there are huddles to be dealt with becoming a legal citizen here should be an honor not a safety net. There are countless people over the years that take pride in going through the process to become a citizen and like you stated before, if I were to move to any country, I would do whatever it took to fit in there, not ask for accommodations to be made for me. <br /><br />The gesture was very sweet from the ladies you were kind to!<br /><br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-91090246983863580792010-04-28T10:01:51.826-06:002010-04-28T10:01:51.826-06:00I'm back to reading blogs.
Of course you know...I'm back to reading blogs.<br /><br />Of course you know I'm a conservative, more likely a Liberatarian than any 'party'. I have many thoughts on ILLEGAL immigration but those hard working folks who want a better like...who want to contribute to our great country...BRING THEM ON...LEGALLY!<br /><br />Problem is the red tape people have to go through to get here legally.<br /><br />Bless her heart for sharing her love and food with you.Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409440410210436267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-61335392225629471452010-04-28T09:00:17.965-06:002010-04-28T09:00:17.965-06:00OH MY, YOU OPENED A VERY LARGE DOOR, AND BEING FRO...OH MY, YOU OPENED A VERY LARGE DOOR, AND BEING FROM AZ THERE IS CERTAINLY A LOT OF NAME CALLING GOING ON AROUND HERE.
