When we came to this country back in 1949, we HAD to learn English or we were stuck to survive on our own. NO welfare ,no publick housing, no handouts, no soup kitchens, just our own work. I was assigned into 3rd grade with No help from the school or teachers in learning English , NONE... so I learned English in the school yard and from our neighborhood kids. We learned our new language, customes, laws, became US citizens and assimilated into a free society of the United States. If my family and I can work hard without any help, why should my hard earned tax dollars be given to anyone that shows up often illegally or some that may be insulted by some perseption that we do not restpect them or some that whant to do any of our fellow US citizens harm ?

Languages? I'm torn between Penutian and Salishan but leaning towards Iroquoian, Southern.

Algonquian? Well okay but the Canadians were supposed to build that wall!

Genetic testing, probably the only way to go. "Drop your pants."

This is something that bothers me, having heard the media reporting this as the largest shooting massacre in the US. Not hardly accurate at all. Bear River... Wounded Knee... 1890 was not really that long ago!

I also can't help but wonder how many might have survived the Orlando Shooting if even a few people had been carrying a personal firearm? This was only one man. Not an army.

I am not looking to open a can of worms here, but these are just a couple of thoughts that have haunted me over the past few days.
