Probably my most conservative view is illegal immigration. Normally I am a moderate to liberal, but when it comes to immigration, I can't stand the liberal view on it. I hate the Liberal view of illegal immigration so much that I wish the moderate and conservative Democrats would kick the liberals out of the democrat party or would split and section off from them.
I staunchly support English as the official language of the USA. When you move to another country to live there, it is one's best interest to learn the language of that culture.
My university has alot of Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian, and African students, and even though they speak their home language to each other, they have been learning English or know English very well.
The class that occupies the room before my math class is a class for students to learn English.
All that money that goes into making Spanish versions of everything could go towards making English learning classes (to be required) for those applying for citizenship.
Its not like we are asking you to give up your culture. Last week, Asians dedicated a different day to Asian cultures, such as Korean Night, Chinese Night, and Japan Night.
No one is taking your language away, we are basically just saying, that we don't want to go out of our way to make you our country like your country. When you decide to make America your home, you should be wanting to give up your allegience to that other country, not trying to make Americans give up theirs.
I personally think we should put or resources into fixing Mexico rather than fixing Iraq. We are domestically affected more by illegal immigration when it comes to our economy.
I once watched a video of a man who had a jar of gumballs. 1 gumball represented a million people. The US ignores that illegal million when it comes into our country...the amount of illegal and legal millions we let in falsely thinking it helps the situation turns out to be of little help.
I do think we as humans have a duty to help humans...but we also have to remember that we can't possibly help other countries when we are in trouble...and even more, we can't help other countries when they refuse to address their own problems that keep causing us to have to help them.
So far, by allowing the immigration problems we have right now, we are basically letting them bring their problems to America.
Look at the vicious gangs they have? Blacks have found themselves doing the very thing Whites did to them(and still do) and that is flight.
I know many illegal immigration supporters use the argument of the great immigration of the late 1800s and early 1900s where many particularly Irish, immigrated to the USA.
But the policy of that era and before it was largely more open policy. We are not the same people with the same policy today in 2010. You really can't use that argument because you comparing different time periods with different policies.
