I have worked with numerous immigrants, those who just come to the US and need a little help getting started and then there are those who are in the US for years who refuse to learn ENGLISH..why should we continue to pay out of our pockets for their chosen denial of knowing what is going on around them?..It isn't a country of justice anymore..it is a country of who yells the loudest...my mother, a 49 yr old woman died who had a heart condition could not get assistance for heart surgery, a widow of 13 years, yet we can promote and continue to pay for immigrants who are not citizens or taxpayers and give them free care...day after day in the ER..who refuse to learn English..and we are now supposed to give them the right to vote?...for what purpose...they don't pay for anything....they pay nothing for health care...and are allowed to make decisions in our US Government?...don't you think we should be able to vote in their country's too?...and get rid of the bilingual mandatory crap?

You're absolutely right. We're coming to a head on all this real soon though. I think I'm not the only one who is insulted that our language is just an "option" now. We have to seriously start voting out of office politicians who refuse to take America's side on immigration issues.

Hold on...you're saying that someone who doesn't/won't speak English is not a citizen or a taxpayer? There are plenty of citizen or legal resident immigrants who don't speak English, but who pay taxes and don't collect welfare.
That being said, I agree that people should learn the language.

I could defend bilingualism, but it seems to me that your problem actually has nothing to do with that. You're not simply talking about bilingual paperwork here, you're using that as something of a scapegoat for whatever your other frustration is.
