The deputies began driving into the neighborhood, terrorizing the community until almost 11 p.m. that night. Young Latino men were brought into the parking lot in handcuffs. They looked terrified as they arrived in the back of sheriff
’s vehicles.Stadium lights were everywhere. The media was on-site interviewing deputies and concerned residents.

You know, it really bothers me that Spanish is seen as a threat. I mean, I would have thought that being bilingual is good. But now, thanks to the immigration debate, knowing something other than English is seen as unpatriotic. I don’t understand it. I mean, no one, and I mean no one, is asking the American people to learn another language. They want new immigrants to learn English, that’s fine.
But give them a break, I mean, newcomer kids like myself do learn English. I’m in college for God’s sake. Adults, like my parents, they can’t learn as easily. It is harder for an adult to learn a new language, and they work 40 hour jobs which takes away their time and energy.
So, why does it bother people that others are speaking Spanish. I mean, it is not undermining the American sovereignty. I would like to know more than 2 languages but I think that my time in learning languages is coming to an end. Oh well, at least I’ll have a better chance in understanding people than monolingual people.
