Hey all. This looks like a fun group of people. I hope you will welcome me into this little circle!

So, I've been under the weather with cold symptoms (sinus congestion/drainage mostly) now on about day 10. No fever until today. Checked my temp and it was 99.9 :shock: So I took some alka-seltzer plus cold and flu. Within an hour temp was at 98.6. (and a most all of the congestion is gone) Maybe I am at the end of this.

Just feeling a need to share... (cause of asshole DFO's speech today)

The friend who transported me to the hospital on Friday to get checked is undocumented. (from Brasil). I've known them for 10 years. He and his ex-wife have been here since 2004. They came over the border of Mexico. They have two young minor children born here.

I'm sick of hearing "conservatives" bash immigrants. It's offensive to me.

As it is to me.

My great grandfather arrived here in JAN 1917, and was offered citizenship for his family if he joined the Marine Corps. The Army only guaranteed citizenship for him, so he took the Corps' offer and went back the Europe to fight a war that he came here to escape. Since then each male of my family has served in the military, a tradition handed down, this country accepted us, though not with open arms [we're Catholic], but they did nonetheless.

The modern GOP is anathema to what my parents and grandparents voted for, we were immigrants looking for a brighter future, and now the party they upheld for generations betrays that.

One of the latest arrivals for my family (emigrated from Germany around 1805 with his parents) spoke very little English, in part because much of his early life was on a commune with others from Germany. I assume his parents never learned to speak English.

To those conservatives who whine about immigrants not speaking English and then claim their ancestors learned English right away are just lying or ignoring the truth. Many of my other relatives did speak English, but that's probably because they came from England (or were Scotch-Irish).

I have a cousin whose parents came from Hungary. I never heard her mother speak English. I assume she must have at least understood some of it, but when we visited them, the only thing I ever heard her speak was Hungarian. My grandmother and mother were proficient in Hungarian (my grandmother emigrated to here), so they all spoke it when we got together. My cousin now is a RWNJ, evangelical who hates immigrants. I do not understand how she can feel that way when her own parents were immigrants. I guess they are the right-colored ones.

I have family like that now, and as I explained before we are barely here a century, they are from Luzerne Co, so....

That is 100% truth. My maternal grandfather came from Italy on the boat to Ellis island ~1917-18. He was all of 18 years old. He served in our Army during WWI (everybody did, in some manner, back then). When he passed in the early 1980s, the military came and sending a honor guard team or whatever they are called (USA flag draped casket, 21-gun salute). I remember holding/comforting my grandmother as each of those three rounds of bangs. I remember them folding the flag and presenting it to my grandmother with such respect at the grave site.

And grandpa's English was horrible, his whole life. He understood, but he couldn't speak it worth a damn.

As I said in my previous post above, that's common. Unless you are using big words or complicated sentences, they are going to understand (if they've been here long enough). The reason why they don't speak (or try) is because they fear using the wrong word or otherwise mucking-up. They are not confident that they can speak it.

I don't make anyone speak English with me. Face-to-face, with someone who is limited on English -- I break it down. I use small common words, I eliminate unnecessary words, I put just a slight extra pause between each word, I use my hands, body language and facial expressions. Backup plan is to whip out the phone and Google Translate. 8-)

A few days ago, I was on the phone with one my local Brazilian friends while I was at another American friend''s home. When I hung up the phone, my friend asked "Why are you talking like that in broken English" Me: "So he can understand me." Respect.

I didn't have a problem with her speaking Hungarian; I have a problem with her daughter being anti-immigrant.
