She still spoke Romanian at home and in certain circles and taught her two children to speak it along with English, and she could converse equally well in both languages. She was proud to be a proper American citizen.
That's awesome, and the way it should be done when people come to America. People used to be proud of being here and would assimilate into America rather than the way the illegals of today want America to assimilate to their way of life and cater to them.

My hubby says thank you for this. My hubby is very proud of what his grandparents, and other relatives of his have accomplished that have moved to this country properly to get away from the communist regime that ruled Romania for years. They are a hard working and very loving group of people that make you feel part of the family right away. I wish we lived closer at times.

I call BS. Just because the ads were in Spanish doesn't mean that they were offering them to "illegals". Last time I checked, you still needed a SSN & SOME credit to acquire either a mortgage OR a CC. However, if you have evidence to the contrary, I would be interested.

Simple use of a little known (or is it little USED?) tool called GOOGLE could provide the facts.

A comment like this is incredibly inappropriate given the circumstances. Generally, when one makes a claim, they immediately support it with a citation of this sources. Why? So that the casual reader knows for a fact that they are not talking out of their ###. Of course, this is TheTruckersReport ... not a college classroom ... so maybe my expectations are out of line here.

However, upon reading these sources ... I cannot believe this. I mean I can ... but I cannot at the same time ... ya know? So we will be left footing the bill when these guys default. Wonder if that has anything to do with the situation we're in economically? It's just really sad - more screwing of the legal, hardworking folks so Juan, Jorge & Paco can own homes. I guess though, if they have a Taxpayer ID# ... one can assume that they're paying taxes?

No, the comment was very appropriate.

Don't you think this (that which I put in italics) is rather insulting to the members of this forum?

Most of the times one member expects that others have read the most recent news, therefore knows what it going on, and to quote a specific source isn't needed.

i think the thread to which i replied was over a year old. look, i don't disagree with what people are saying here, i promise, it was just a comment. if that's not how this forum works, i beg your pardon ... not really trying to make waves.

You are more than welcome to bring up old topics... it's done all the time. But please do not insult us all with comments and inferences such as those that were made.
