Yes...But it's the point that there shouldn't be two thank-you...It's America not it's America speaking Mexican.
And did you know that America doesn't have ONE language???...Most people believes it's English yet theres nothing in writing thats what our Language is...Go to a different country...You don't see them changing there culture just because Americans are traveling over there now do you???

When my daughter was in Kindergarten, she came home and told me that she was worried about something bad that was happening at her school. I couldn't believe what she told me. She was attending the the nicest school in the nicest neighborhood of San Antonio, Texas. She stayed home with a private teacher the next day and her father and I went to the school to see for ourselves. She was telling us the awful truth. Her two so-called teachers resented having four Hispanic non-English speaking children in their class. So, they placed the four five year olds in the back of the classroom with no materials and instructed them to keep their heads down on the table . . .for the entire morning Kindergarten class . . .every day of the week. My daughter never went back to that school. She became an advocate for bilingualism and an outstanding reading specialist and educator in the state of Texas. Those so-called Kindergarten teachers in that so-called "nice" school district were racists, of the worst kind. It was perfectly OK for U.S. business owners to break our laws and criminally invite and hire undocumented workers, just to avoid paying Americans a legal and decent wage. But, mealy-mouthed racists couldn't help themselves from deliberately harming little children, the children of the same Mexican workers who were illegally hired to work in their communities. These same racists sabotaged every single effort to build up appropriate social services to help these Mexican families assimilate into our communities. Now, the folly and sickening mean-spiritedness of that racism is coming home to roost in these communities. Having been deliberately denied every single opportunity to become legitimate, tax-paying, educated assimilated citizens, many Mexican immigrants who were the product of U.S. criminally hired foreign labor, suffer terrible poverty and lack of an education. It's very difficult to become educated when one is segregated and forced to sit in the back of the class with one's head down. I've lived a long life and I've lived all over the world and I've been a hospice nurse. I've seen the best and the worst that human's can dish out. NOTHING is sicker than a mealy-mouthed racist treating five year old babies like those monsters did those kids back then. And, it happened all over. And, the racists now wonder why many of our communities are collapsing. The morons. If these sick minded heartless dregs of humanity had made even the slightest attempt to build up these workers and their families that we USED like slaves, for crying out loud, our communities would be more stable today. And, we would have marched into the furture as true friends with our neighbor to the south. All that these racist have amounted to after all these years . . . all that their "great" vision of purity and superiority have led this once mighty nation to is to take some people out into the desert and shoot them. All of this is moot. We are eliminating all borders and have become one Superstate. Racists don't care about other people or the realities of the North American state or the enormous economic changes that are occuring. But, anyone interfering with this new Superstate will be lucky to get to work for a dollar an hour in southern China in less than five years. Any state that interferes with this new Superstate will become an economic wasteland with U.S. Army tanks patrolling the streets. The power and wealth behind this new Superstate is beyond imagination. This is fact. English has become the international language of commerce. But, in the global job market no one who does not know at least two languages will be able to get a white collar job in the near future. This, too is fact. Due to racists who made learning a second language seem like something "un-American", average Americans will not be able to maintain their standard of living. Racism is a mental and spiritual disease that has significantly contributed to the end of the American Dream.
The link I would give you is being censored. It won't link on Yahoo Answers. Key this in backwards, no spaces:

Who would have ever thought Americans would have to spell the word "freedom" backwards?

Why is it sad? There are millions of Hispanic people in this country legally (and not just from Mexico) who would prefer to communicate with others in this country in Spanish. This narrow view of what a citizen should and shouldn't be is unrealistic and completely ignores the people here legally who don't yet qualify for citizenship. It takes 5 years before a person can even apply. If there were a large enough population of English speakers in Mexico then yes, Yahoo Answers would make the business decision to add a Mexico / English flag. The presence of the US/Spanish flag is a business decision based on demographics. I don't see what there is to get upset about.
RESPONSE -
"Yes...But it's the point that there shouldn't be two thank-you...It's America not it's America speaking Mexican. "
It's called Spanish, not Mexican, and has been part of the history and identity of the American south west for two centuries.

I really can`t prove you wrong , but I could say that there are only two options for Spanish speaking Latin American people, one being posting on the Mexican Link, or the Argentinian one. I don´t live in neither Argentina nor Mexico, I`m not Mexican or Argentinian, I post my questions in the "United States" section and get responses from people from all of the Spanish speaking countries of the Americas, very rarely do I get an answer from someone living in the United States.

You're right. Blame companies like Yahoo for selling out America to make a buck, that's all it's about. Yahoo doesn't like me, they will probably remove this.
I think it's a no brainer that English is our language in America, and has been since the beginning. Maybe it is so much the standard that it has never been made law, it's just assumed. Now the radical immigrants are going to make us pass laws stating the obvious, what a nuisance.

Did you knew that all the questions asked in the "U.S. answers in Spanish" and all the questions in "answers in Mexico" are put together? Yup...so it's really just one website with two names.

Geez, stop being so hateful, as if that affected you in any way! You sound like as if you were angry at us, come on!

Agreed. Whether people want to admit it or not ENGLISH is the American language. If it wasn't then you would see the courts using other languages, but they don't. If you want to do your civil duty by doing jury duty, you need to be proficient in ENGLISH.

Pues que la humanidad en lugar de avanzar va en retroceso,ya vez el muro de berlin,pero pues esta gente no estiende,ni un muro ni soldados cuidando la frontera evitaran que las personas sigan haciendo el intento por cruzar.
What the question was is : "what do you think of the united states' wall of shame"
the answer says: "that humanity is regressing instead of progressing, remember the berlin wall? these people don't understand, no wall or soldiers are going to stop the people from crossing over."
