Before you criticize...

I just want to remind you that the Europeans who founded this country did not speak...

Choctaw, Iroquois, Creek, Pawnee, Passamaquoddy, Navajo, Ojibwa, Blackfoot, Crow, Cherokee, Nanticoke, Paiute, Winnemucca, Ute, Pequot, Mohegan, Sioux, Nez Perce, Muscogee, Shawnee, Potowatomi, Kickapoo, Wyandot, Apache, Cayuse, Micmac, Penobscot, Piscataway, Narragansett, Wampanoag, Chippewa, Ottawa, Mackinac, Lumbee, Ponca, Winnebago, Hopi, Omaha, Lakota, Patuxet, Abenaki, Pueblo, Mescalero, Tiwa, Shoshone, Oneida, Mohawk, Seneca, Assiniboin, Zuni, Onandaga, Cayuga, Shinnecock, Comanche, Arapaho, Dakota, Cheyenne, Chickasaw, Osage, Kiowa, Natchez, Umpqua, Klamath, Modoc, Yahi, Aleut, Chinook, Catawba, Santee, Chickahominy, Samish, Snoqualmie, Menominee, Iowa, Tequesta, et al...

or any other language of the people who were already here. We rarely even tried.

But come we did. At first like alien colonizers and then like fleas.

Who are we, then, to tell anyone else what to speak?

On the one hand, I wouldn't go to another country to live without understanding how to communicate.

On the other hand, we were even more of a nuisance than the illegal aliens who are keeping prices down but also, allegedly, draining our welfare and health care system.

They didn't start the fire... but they are changing everything, just like we did.
