I guess down there you dont have a choice. When I took my children back to meet my cousins (all married to what im quite sure were illegal aliens) and thier children my kids looked quite funny, only speaking English. But like Zee, after a couple hundred Dora and Diego tapes, im just so proud of them little hellions... :'(
Yes, here in the bible belt we appreciate a good, hard working, english speaking person.
Not to sound too racist, common cliche, but it is true that where I come from we don't think too highly of illegals coming in and taking good jobs and living in low income housing...not being reported to the IRS...all that jazz.
In fact we hate it, I lived in a town where the whites and blacks are prejudice against the illegal mexicans.
