"If you want to communicate, you need to retain the language, and language is also a part of cultural identity"
When the hell did any law tell them to completely forget their language and heritage? Will learning english or american history force them to forget their language and cultural identity?
Other than that I enjoyed your post.
"This creates a major problem for Mexican farmers, who no longer can make money growing food for their own country."
This is a very interesting point. A similar point i heard good ol' Ahnold bring up is that alot of farmers have alot of difficulties in attaining citizenship because of the fact that in order to gain citizenship(or visas) you have to have some sort of skill, and picking grapes(his words) isn't a skill.
I've heard there was actually some discussion of more thoroughly integrating North America. I love this idea, but can't really see it happening in light of our extremely differing economies and culture(mostly between canada/us and mexico).
lol a funny idea shouldn't they be protesting in mexico instead of here if the conditions there are so bad?
"It also takes a few years to just get a visa."
I didn't know it was that difficult nor that it took nearly that long(assuming this isn't exagerrated), I withdraw my comments on, "why can't they renew their visas". Actually, wait, no i don't because renewing is easier(it says to file for renewance 45 days before it's up, so I'm assuming they could have it done by then). More like, "Why can't they apply for visas", however;
Wait:
(who knows if the following information is true)

it says it takes 6-9 months on average, depending on the office, to process citizenship applications.
