There are notable issues in the Southwest in the United States where people don't speak any English at all, and speak only Spanish, suggesting they are legal citizens born of illegal immigrants, or are still illegal immigrants themselves.
- BeetleB 3mo agoI don't doubt they speak only Spanish, but this is the part I contest: > There are notable issues What are the issues? Which (English speaking) Americans have been so negatively impacted because of this, and how? I don't live in the Southwest, but we have them here as well. They speak little/no English. Yet both they and the people around them live just fine.
- bellowsgulch 3mo ago“I don’t experience what others experience so it’s not a problem.” Are you still in your 20s?
- BeetleB 3mo agoI think you don't follow. I said: "When I hear people say this, it's not because of any experience they've had, but just a repetition of talking points" You pointed out a potential problem. So my followup is: "What negative experience have you had because of this?" I'm not claiming integration problems don't exist (see my original comment). I'm claiming they are very minor, and blown way, way out of proportion. So much so that while I've known many who complain about the integration problem, I've yet to find a single person who's had direct negative experience related to this. And, as an aside, give people in their 20s a bit more credit!
