McDowell county west virginia is one of the , if not the poorest counties in america. Interesting note though, violent crime is low, such as murder and robbery despite extreme poverty. Another interesting note, its mostly White. I found that quite remarkable. The media says the poorer a town or city is, the more violent it is. Well, i just learned thats not true. There’s obviously culteral aspects to violence, more so than most are willing to admit. I just found this fascinating.

My point is when you see chicago, baltimore, new orleans, camden, newark, detroit, new orleans, st louis, and memphis, everyone says the violence is due to poverty. No, violence is due to people that live in those area’s, not poverty. I just gave an example of one of the poorest area’s in the country, which just so happens to be white and yet violence is low. what do all those violent cities have in common? They are all black with the overwhelming majority of the violence committed by blacks.

If I was president.
Every citizen to be a citizen has to learn English and must follow our constitution.
Any one who cant speak English will be taken advantage especially from their own nationality and others that can speak English. I see it every day.
Plus they are less likely to travel and do things for themselves because they need help.
I would let them apprentice teach them building jobs for example. It is cheaper to learn a trade then to go to college. Eventually they can start their own businesses.
It is not easy work but the money’s ok.
When my youngest daughter decided to move to Germany they did not ask her about graduating Columbia university with honors. They asked her what building trade can you do like carpentry.
You reminded me of how a few Americans was assaulted in Russia with the attackers yelling " Speak Russian! Your in Russia!" It made me think how are mainstream media/society treat foreigners.

I never heard of Russians attacking Americans, and even if they have, we are not going there and trying to make them learn our language. We are also not attacking these criminals sneaking into our nation, they are attacking and robbing us.

Know what the American way is? Finding someone to blame. It’s true. You out working a construction job and you drop a hammer on your foot? Hell, sue the company. That’s a ten-thousand-dollar foot. You’re white and you can’t get a job? Blame affirmative action. Can’t get one and you’re black? Blame the white man. Or the Koreans. Hell, blame the Japanese, everyone else does. Fucking whole country’s filled with nasty, unhappy, confused, pissed off people, and not one of them with the brain power to honestly deal with their situation. They talk about simpler times – before there was AIDS and crack and gangs and mass communication and satellites and airplanes and global warming – like it’s something they could possibly get back to. And they can’t figure out why they’re so fucked up, so they find someone to blame. (…) I mean, hell, why bother looking in the mirror at your own damn self when there’s so many other people out there who you ‘know’ you’re better than. [p.130-131] of Dennis Lehane, "A Drink Before the War" L.A. burns, and so many other cities smolder, waiting for the hose that will flood gasoline over the coals, and we listen to politicians who fuel our hate and our narrow views and tell us it’s simply a matter of getting back to basics while they sit in their beach-front properties and listen to the surf so they won’t have to hear the screams of the drowning. They tell us it’s about race, and we believe them. And they call it a “democracy,†and we nod our heads, so pleased with ourselves. We blame the Socias, we occasionally sneer at the Paulsons, but we always vote for the Sterling Mulkerns. And in occasional moments of quasi-lucidity, we wonder why the Mulkerns of this world don’t respect us. They don’t respect us because we are their molested children. They fuck us morning, noon, and night, but as long as they tuck us in with a kiss, as long as they whisper into our ears, “Daddy loves you, Daddy will take care of you,†we close our eyes and go to sleep, trading our bodies, our souls, for the comforting veneers of “civilization†and “securityâ€, the false idols of our twentieth-century wet dream. [p.311-312] of Dennis Lehane, "A Drink Before the War"
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I never heard of Russians attacking Americans, and even if they have, we are not going there and trying to make them learn our language. We are also not attacking these criminals sneaking into our nation, they are attacking and robbing us. The point im referring to is that the scenarios mirror each other. Actually that goes both ways, criminals coming into our country get attacked as well.
