With the way inflation has risen everthing has gone up except the minimum wage. Am I the only one to see this? Think about it since 1997 gas was .97 cents a gallon, now upwards of $3.00, house median was $142,000, now $250,000. Car prices average was $21,000, now $34,000, not to mention just about everything due to cost of transport, manufacturing, energy. In short everything has doubled or tripled yet the minimum wage stays the same. It not only has an effect on those making that but it dictates what others make too. If you have a flat base of $5.15/hour everthing scales to that, Say the top pay at place X would be $15/hour. Make Min. wage $10/hour, that top pay goes up to nearly $30/hour. We as americans need to make our government realize that they are not the only ones who deserve raises. Just to let you know, they got 3 raises last year which they voted for. When was the last time you got 3 raises in a year? their salary jumped up like 23% do the math base starting salary $200,000

When they immigrate shouldn't they have to learn the native language of where they are immigrating too? If they do it legally, why is this not part of the requirements of being american? If they truley wanted to be in america, then they should be as we are, not as they were before they arrived. Believe me I'm not racist I am just curious as to what people really think about this. It seems everyday as I walk through malls, supermarkets, even schools, I hear more and more spanish. Are we as americans losing our country because we WILL NOT control our borders more carefully? I am almost starting to feel like an outsider in my own country, anyone else?
