So we have countless men crossing the boarder with no belongings and no homes and no jobs. Why don't we create a program where illegal immigrant men and women sign up to a course to learn English after which they are put into the Military for service and only at the end of that service do they earn US citizenship. This would help the military with needed numbers and it would help assimilate immigrants into American values. If the Immigrant doesnt want this path we can deport them back to their country.

I think what makes speaking English here so important, is the perception that being American means a lot. We consider ourselves lucky and blessed to be born Americans, even in these weird times. Our history and heritage also give us a deep resentment of anyone who 1) would tell us what to do (a la a king), 2) would take advantage of the freedoms that were so hard won, 3) are liars, cheaters, and thieves. We also hate traitors with a passion.
If you go to another country and refuse to learn their language and customs, that's a slap in the face. See: Australia
