O.K. Let me preface my comments by saying that I haven't read all that you have posted (nor do I intend to).  I just wanted to make some comments on a couple of statements in your email.

So?  I know of at least one other non-english speaking country that prints its stop signs in English.  (The country in question is Germany).

>We have 11 million or more Mexicans flooding in daily.

So? We will never stop it.  It is just the same as CD copy-protection, it will always be hacked.  You'll never stop people from immigrating to this country illegally.  Would it not be wiser to make sure that these people contribute to our society than feel like the aren't welcome? 
<rant>Also, on a slightly unrelated point, these 11 million or more Mexicans flooding in daily (which is a slightly inflated number since it would only take about 10 days to empty Mexico of its entire population) are taking the jobs that many US citizens wouldn't even think of taking.  So why do so many complain that they are taking our jobs when we wouldn't do those jobs in the first place?</rant>

>The Viva La Raza movement, certain segment of the Muslims, etc.,  want to
>see all white men dead.

There are also many people who don't feel the same.  Once again, would it not be wiser to show those that are undecided that those who hate "white men" are full of it?
