Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
My parents immigrated (legally by the way) from Austria-Hungary from what is now N.E. Slovakia near the Polish border. My father came over in '26, my mother as an infant 1910. I still have the textbook my father studied to become a citizen and it's not an easy book. I couldn't answer some of the questions in it. We were never taught my parents native language. It was English only. They received no breaks from anyone, they made it on their own, no free medical, no free dental, no language provisions in the schools, no native services in the local churches. He and his peers eventually built one of their own. It gets my shorts in a wad when I have to choose English, and when I see our politicians bending over backwards to accommodate the illegals who have literally invaded this country, and then see them demonstrating for their rights.
