This is factual information. (alot of people become fluent in less than two years)
Lazy, just because it is easy for an English-speaking person to learn Spanish doesn't mean it's easy for a Spanish-speaking person to learn English. Wikipedia explains my point. The key sentence is "Although in terms of grammar, English is not particularly difficult to learn, there are several features of English which are relatively complex and therefore create difficulties for the majority of learners."

Something needs to be done and since the root of the problem is people sneaking in to the country illegally, that is the problem that should be addressed.
I never said we shouldn't do anything about the problem. Obviously we need to do something because it is a huge problem, but the solution isn't to deport millions of people. This isn't feasible either economically or practically. My solution is to give the illegal immigrants a chance to gain their citizenship through the normal channels. If they refuse to do so then we give them the boot.
