I see all the “demonstrations” on the TV news.  However, I was in Ocala today, shopping with my wife.  At the mall there were obvious spanish language personnel still working and shopping at Penny’s.  We stopped at McDonalds for lunch and there were both workers and diners that spoke Spanish.  We stopped at Sam’s Club and if they took the day off from work, they were all shopping at Sam’s club.

I resent foreigners having the audacity to come here to my country and protest publicly about how my country and government is run!  It wouldn’t be tolerated in other countries. 

U.S. immigration laws should be strictly enforced and those who work illegally pay no taxes and should be deported and their employers should be jailed for tax evasion.  They are a drain on our healthcare and educational systems and contribute to the high cost of healthcare and education because they do not put any money back into those systems by way of taxes, much less pay for those services!

Additionally, they should learn to speak our language, English.  This is America, not Mexico or Spain or any other Latin American spanish speaking country.
