Illegal Immigration and Inglish as an Official Languge

I know, I am awful cynical today. Sorry, it is the way I fell be at the moment. I currently am sitting in my flat (dorm) and am listening to my flat mates and their friends eating dinner just down the hall. There are Germans, Polish, Finish, and Scottish people in my flat. In addition there are those from Italy and the Netherlands here tonight. I and the Scottish kid are the only ones that can claim English as their primary language. These students are here for two purposes. First to advance their education. That may be in mathematics, engineering, history, ext. Their second purpose is to learn English. They greatly respect the fact that they are in an English speaking country. They never speak a foreign language while in my presence if they can help it. The only exception is if one of them discovers what I am trying to say and uses his native language to explain it to someone else present. They greatly value their own culture and they respect mine. I only wish this were the case when I arrive back home in the United States. The reality is that those who illegally (I call an act of war) cross our borders, in hundreds of thousands every year, don't come here to learn our language or respect the rest of us. Instead they merely come to gain financial gain and send it back to there native land. It must be stressed I am referring to illegals and not those who do care and have taken the time to prosper legally (those I much appreciate and welcome with open arms). This topic really became interesting to me when I was talking about it in my counseling course. It was the first time the two people I was working with (who were from Scotland and the Ferrel Islands) had ever heard that America did not have a national language. They couldn't believe that was true. Well, I know it and I still can not believe it is true. Well, I will finish here and simply say Huckabee is the man.
