It's getting increasingly harder to find jobs that do not require bilingual abilities in california. I believe the statistic is 40% of california's elementary students are hispanic. Therefore, bilingual is a growing hidden requirement for teaching or teacher assisting in the US. Many of the restraunts and stores tend to hire bilingual first. Nurses are increasingly spanish speaking. Why should the people who are causing the bilingual problem be profitting from the problem they've caused? Not only do they have a preference for the jobs, they get bilingual pay!

Hell ******* no!
And I use those terms to make it clear that I am opposed to accommodating to the Spanish group of people.
There are a lot of Korean people where I live, I don’t see Korean being a requirement!! (And I am just using them as a reference)
Making everyone learn Spanish is giving in to their culture and will make their life easier! Allowing employers to let them pay Native Speakers (and by that I mean people who were born here from Spanish parents and know both) is a sort of discrimination because it does not require you any additional schooling or whatever that would justify you to make more money. (I.E. HS Diploma, Associate, Bachelor.. etc..) Unless you majored in something to do with Spanish speaking countries.
It is wrong, and things need to change! It I was an Asian citizen I would be appalled at how much the Spanish community is being accommodated!!

Well, since one group of people are too stupid to learn English, it just might have to be, whether it is really right or not.
Look at it this way - people from countries that speak all kinds of languages (German, Italy, Hungary, etc) all manage to learn English when they come to the US. Even people that come from countries that use totally different alphabets (China, Viet Nam, etc) manage to learn enough to get jobs. Yet there is ONE group of people (Spanish speaking) that is unable to learn.
So much for us all being "equal". Some just obviously are not.

The answer is NO and its definitely unfair. After all this is America. If they want to be here, they are the ones to learn the language of English and no special job preferences if they dont. This is what it was when our ancestors came to America when all was as it should be. bettyk

Yes, Spanish is very popular.Any foreign language is going to help you, and if you start early the easier it will be later on.
