How important is for citizens, residents, refugees, exiles and undocumented to be Bilingual in the USA?

Question

Spanish language is the second most spoken in the USA, and the most spoken, by most Immigrants. Bilingual Education ( English-Spanish) should be mandatory for everyone.

Answer 1

I think being bilingual is a must. We need to start teaching a second language in Junior High (LIKE MOST COUNTRIES IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD). The citizens of most countries are bilingual. We need to make America's education better.

Answer 2

We are a UNITED States not a divided states. We are ONE nation not multi-culturalized as the PC crowd would have it.

United we stand, divided we fall.

There's nothing wrong with learning languages but MANDATORY bilingualism? No, thanks.

Can't citizens have some control over what they want to learn?? Otherwise, we're just government robots.

Answer 3

There is an old saying...When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

When in the USA, speak English, as the Americans do.

Continuing to speak Spanish, by virtue of the bad press given by illegals, is a way of "marking" you. Smart people assimilate. The others dig in their heals and make demands. Those are why we are so angry today.

Answer 4

no. everyone coming here must learn English. the language is fairly universal and contains a lot from other languages.

Answer 5

if your in America learn English or get out. come into my place of business speaking other then language I'll ask you to leave. if you don't I'll call the police. press charges for trespassing.

Answer 6

no sorry, some rather not to socialize English speaking person. but keep it in their own ethnicity

Answer 7

NOT IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
