Very hostile! Especially when some of us have already mentioned that our parents were from a foreign country.
How was it hostile?

P.S. Your avatar is not helping the situation, either.
I think it's great and once again I want to voice my appreciation for his service to his (my, our) country.
As for my thoughts:
Illegal immigration is
illegal. Period. I don't deny that many illegal immigrants take jobs that many US citizens don't want, and they get paid less to do those jobs. But that doesn't change the fact that they came into the country illegally. Examine Mexico's laws and policies regarding people who cross Mexico's southern border illegally. It's not tolerated.
You want to change the law so "guest workers" are better tracked, better monitored, and better treated? I have no problem with that. But until they're legal, they're here illegally. Period.
National language is another ridiculous debate. Almost every other country in the world has a national language. I wouldn't move to Mexico and expect every government form, street sign, and telephone book to be in English. Again, I have no problem with people who come to this country legally. But it's their responsibility to conform to our country, not the entire country's responsibility to conform to each of them.
