(no subject)
It seems as if the people we accuse of pushing their language on us really only know one phrase of that language; it is of course the "¡Sí, Se Puede!" (Yes, we can!)
You'd think they'd get more creative, mix it up at their rallies. I remember on a Disney channel movie years ago, the motto of a California high school's (predominantly?) Hispanic dance team was this same, damned "Sí, Se Puede!"
Maybe it's the Spanish language equivalent of the classic (if only in the movies though, I don't know) "Hell no, we won't go!"? In fact, "Hell no, we won't go!" would be much more applicable for these protesters. They could throw a 'back to Mexico' on the end for added rhyme.
Practicalities aside, I think the protesters are wrong, I'll leave it at that.
