I think there is some misguided people in here. I think immigration is great and that's how we are the country that we are. However, groups like La Raza, and other militant immigration organizations that advocate not learning english, and most importantly not assimilating into the American culture is destructive. There are groups and there is a mindset in some circles that reflects this. To ignore it or think it doesn't exist is ignorant. I believe our lack of involvement with immigrants and willingness to accommodate them without putting forth the effort to properly assimilate them eventually lead to a dilution of our culture as a nation. Some people attempt to take an intellectual high ground with posts about how this country was taken from the indians, etc. Every country is taken from another. It's the countries that do not fight to keep their culture that end up as a footnote in the history books. And unfortunately I can see that happening here. It's incrementalism at it's finest.

I think you missed the point of the commercial, too.

He's posted in the past he has spent some time in Canada. Obviously they've assimilated him. That's all they seem to sell in that country. Gross.

I'm not talking about the commercial, I'm talking about the mindset of illegal immigration.

This thread, nor the commercial, had anything to do with illegal immigration. Yes, you clearly missed the point.

Singing in different languages means you're pro illegal immigration? Oh.

I never understand why anyone really gives a damn about this stuff. Frankly, my goofing off time is more important.

You "should" know you're in the wrong when VaderTT, Sean88gt, Talisman, jakesford, Chili, jluv, 46Tbird, and a few others sound like adults and you don't..

I did that on Sunday night to wash away the suck of the Super Bowl. But I'll watch Wheeler Dealers tonight.

If it helps piss anyone off, I'm helping a co worker immigrate from Singapore to Plano on Thursday.

Rot in hell you anti-American bastard.

So many problems in the country right now, better get worked up over a company marketing it's product how it sees fit. They're trying to sell a product, not sell out America. From what I can tell, no one owns the rights to the song or the tune, so it can be modified in any way an artist sees fit.

Do you throw a hissy fit when companies hire bilingual workers so they can communicate with their customer base? It's the same damned thing.

Bottom line, this is america, we still have the first amendment and no one owns the rights to the song, so find something else to bitch about. Or don't, I couldn't care less.
