but... that goes against the American Dream.... the melting pot country
I agree.
Its things like "English is our main language, deal with it" that doesn't exist here...
What happens if we got enough illegals in here and they all voted for a dude that only speaked spanish and won?
OFFFF course that wont happen becuz of the media but, think about it..
Last I heard, illegals can't vote....What happens if we got enough illegals in here and they all voted for a dude that only speaked spanish and won?

No, that reinforces the melting pot philosophy. As new immigrants (ingredients) arrive (are added to the melting pot), their uniqueness (flavor) is blended into the existing culture (stew). They add spice to the stew but they don't stand out of or take over the stew. The stew maintains its basic character with all the new ingredients blended in.but... that goes against the American Dream.... the melting pot country
If they are illegal, then they aren't allowed to vote.I agree.

English is the de facto language of the United States, even if isn't a statute.that's not exactly how it works. The "‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It." attitude reeks of ethnocentrism especially Caucasian.
in America - every immigrant's "ingredient" is added to the melting pot. That's why English is not an official language in here.

Melting pot of language means that English is the base and the immigrants add seasonings. Our business and government documents, for example, should be in English. Our daily conversations should be in English, seasoned with words and phrases from other languages but still English.
Also, it doesn't mean that people can't be bi- or multi-lingual, as long as one of those languages is English.
We are tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.
‘Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.’
‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’

Neither. Until a federal government and borders were established, there was no United States, no melting pot. When that was done, the majority language in use for government and commerce was American English. That became the "pot." As more people immigrated to the United States, they learned English and added flavorings of their native tongues.But whose melting pot must the immigrants adhere to? The Native Americans or the English settlers?
It might seem like that in some areas but it definitely is not true throughout the USA.btw.... it's more like English and Spanish are the de facto languages of the United States...

If Spanish-speaking people move to the United States for permanent residence, then they should learn English just like the Germans, Russians, Poles, Chinese, Portuguese, etc., did before them.

English speaking, yes.language is least of the issue. the biggest issue here is the multi-cultures.
This is what this person is saying -
Apparently - one can get a gist that this person wants Australia to be English-only, Christian-only... and as for immigrants - "leave it at your own house."
Do we want that kind of attitude for America?
