After all they came HERE we didn't go there.
Management at my fathers company recently informed there Bosses that if they wanted to advance within the company they would be required to learn Spanish. One man stood up and asked Why can't THEY learn English?.
WHY should US Citizens be forced to learn Spanish? Last time I checked we didn't go to Mexico to steal Jobs and I'm sure if we did they wouldn't be learning English to accomidate us.

ENGLISH HAS BEEN THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE FOR SOME TIME NOW. I THINK YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT. IF YOU WANT TO EMIGRATE TO ANOTHER NATION, IT WOULD BENEFIT YOU TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE. DON'T EXPECT THEM TO LEARN YOURS JUST BECAUSE YOU WALKED THRU THE DOOR OR SWAM ACROSS THE BORDER.

US Citizens should not be forced to learn Spanish!! They crawled over and under OUR boarder they need to learn English and our customs.

You shouldn't. Although I certainly agree that knowing more than one language is beneficial and rewarding, I do not agree that people who refuse to assimilate to the language of this country should get to choose that language for you. There are, after all, hundreds of languages in the world, and learning any one of them will make you bilingual.

Oh shut up! The native Americans living in Mexica had to learn Spanish when they were invaded by the Spaniards. Grow up! How does it feel being forced down your throat a new language? Exactly. Dumb White cracka...

Oh hunny, you can just kick back, you don't have to learn Spanish, because I've known both English and Spanish since I was five. And I will be taking that great job you applied for. That's why my Mexican parents immigrated here so I could succeed in your country. Thank-you :)

I agree with you 1000%. It is a travesty what is happening in the US with Spanish being almost everywhere. There are Spanish TV and radio stations, web sites have links to translate that page into Spanish, telephone prompts in Spanish. Schools, police departmetns and hospitals have to take money that they couild use for other resources and to teach their employees Spanish! It just doesn't end!!!
What about all the millions of immigrants who came to the US?? They adapted to the American way of life and learned to speak English!! Why can't these illegals do the same????????????

Exactly, your business is going down if you don't start using Spanish. We do learn English but are coming in so quickly that new immigrants don't speak English. Don't like it? Deal with it. It's here to stay.

I hear you! I live near Canada, I'd rather speak French personally. I took French in high school and loved it. It's a much nicer language to listen to in my opinion. So why does it have to be Spanish we Americans should be forced to speak. My Husband's family came from Italy, but they learned to speak English when they got here. It's not fair to the other nationalities living here, Chinese, Italians etc. we don't cater to them so why should we cater to Mexicans.
