I would never go live in another country where I didnt know the language, and I sure as hell would not be so arrogant as to think I could make it on speaking english, and basically telling everyone around me that they need to learn my language instead of me learning theirs. I would be considered totally rude! Then on top of that what would happen if I protested and started demanding stuff, and calling everyone a racist who didnt support me in my effort to disrespect their culture and refuse to learn their language? Id probably get run down by an angry mob!!

Maybe they don't have time to learn one of the most difficult languages on the planet. Have you ever really studied the phonetic structure of English? Do you know how many exceptions there are to every rule? English isn't just something you sprinkle on your pancakes in the morning. Learning a language is a difficult process that takes children 5-7 years when they still have complete use of the language part of the brain. By age 13, or during puberty that part of our brains becomes less receptive to learinging a new language because most 13 year olds have mastered any language they will need to survive.

Many of them had a very low or no education so now it's extra hard for them to learn something new. Others are just lazy. Other just refuse to learn it. Others have learning problems, Others just pretend not to know to get advantage. You can't generalize all illegal immigrants EVER, every person should be treated as an individual.

How interior the international are you able to assert that each unmarried unlawful alien is a tricky worker and easily none of them thieve. properly, you are able to't because that's no longer actual. And to reply to the question "Who do individuals dislike unlawful extraterrestrial beings a lot?" that is because they're only that...unlawful. they arrive into our united states illegally. in the adventure that they spent the time to grow to be criminal electorate of the united states then we ought to don't have any situation with them. they do no longer comprehend our regulations, they force without licenses, and they don't communicate English. I hate it that a lot of human beings flow to the united states the position are language is English and do not worry to study the language yet assume us to study and comprehend their language. it really is why.

If you are so good then why don't you get off the computer and go volunteer with children or the elderly. There are so many that could use a hand! Before you judge others take a hard look at yourself!

Well, the Russian and Korean immigrants in our area, and the Japanese and Chinese, for that matter, all seem to learn it.
I think they have imported so many Spanish speakers they feel they shouldn't need to learn our language. However, when 50% of those native Spanish speakers are reportedly here illegally, that seems a bit presumptuous.

There are some illegal immigrants who don't learn English, there are those who do. There are some legal immigrants who don't learn English, there are those who do. My question is.....Why are you only focusing on illegal immigrants? Are you saying that if a legal immigrant does not learn English it's okay?

Maybe it's a time management thing. When you're making $.50 per hour picking cotton, there might not be much time left for language classes.

How many languages do you speak? I speak English (native) and Spanish from gradeschool through college. Sure, I learned Spanish because I found it interesting, not out of need, but you gain an appreciation for how hard it is to be fluent and be confident when you try to pick up another language yourself.

Many of them know english, but refuse to use it. They insist on clinging to their culture whichisn't all that desirable or great.
Illegals form Europe, and Asia immediately began to learn english and attmept to be come full productive citizens (most also change thier names to American sounding.) and are proud of it.
Mexicans , muslims, and a few other illegals attempt to force us into learning their language and customs. They have been praised , sang about,and over rated in the media ubntil they feel they are above anthing American.
The often spread hate for America in an attempt to change this country.
