Why is it that Mexicans in Tijuana speak English but in San Diego they cant?

Question

Why is it that Mexicans in Tijuana speak English but in San Diego they cant? As soon as I came back into the United States, none of them could speak English. Do they only send the dumb ones to the US????

Answer 1

Can you speak any other language, perhaps during your visit to Tijuana you left a lot of your money with the people who spoke English to you didn't you, who is dumb now?

Answer 2

English should be relegated to second-class status in San Diego to show preference to the Mexican culture. Sure, maybe if San Diego were actually administered by the Mexican government it would be the same kind of festering pig hole like most of the Mexican republic, but we should bestow the language honor on them. I also believe there should be grammar police to enforce proper use of the Spanish language. If someone shows a lack of knowledge about the gender of nouns, they should be given the same treatment as a kid's pinata on his birthday. Let's face it, if the Pope comes to California and you wear a t-shirt that says, "Yo Vi La Papa", you will also insult His Eminence because you just said you saw the POTATO, not the Pope. Yes, grammar too must be enforced, harshly!!!

Answer 3

they probably do speak english, they just dont want to speak to you, sometimes when ever is convienient we like to play stupid, Im a mexican girl and sometimes when I get annoyed with someone I pretend I dont understand english, just because I cant be arsed.. terrible I know.. the funny thing is that for people who lives in the states or has been living in the states for some time now, when we go there and speak to them in spanish, they say they dont speak spanish!! wich is awfull!! and as soon as you turn back you hear the spanish version of remembering your mom!!.. so basically my guess its that mexicans living in the states might not be the dumbest but yes deffo they are the most unsensitive bastards!!
