Why should Mexicans learn English, if the European settlers never learned the dialects of Native Americans?

Question

Some did, but not all, just like some Mexicans do learn English.

Europeans came to what is now knowed as American, and they preferred to speak English, so it's only fair for Mexican to only speak Spanish.

I meant to say "now known."

Oh, and "America"

lion_sim_bob, so you say times have changed? Well then, I guess times have changed for a second time, and now you have to learn Spanish too.

mnwoman, you will learn Spanish when you go to Spain? Ok, then Mexicans will learn English when they go to ENGLAND, NOT TO THE US!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Why are you white Americans people are eye scope on Mexicans? Mexico is not the "ONLY" country that comes the US illegal. You should also add China,South Americans,Europeans & Asians too. Since you are stupid & failed in history class you are a racist jerk or not happy to yourself. What make you perfect anyways? If I was a Native American, I will tell "YOU" go home.

PS Did you know that Mexico help rebuilt New Orleans from Katrina? And what the hell President Bush did? He says"I take the blame & I am sorry"?

Answer 2

Legal Mexicans` should learn to speak English , just like all our forefathers` Legal Immigrants did , not because they were made to , but because they wanted to , they wanted to be proud new citizens of America and they wanted people to know it ... German Legal Immigrants didn`t come from Germany speaking English , they learned it , that goes for all the other nationalities that make up America , except Mexicans`. Our Immigrant forefathers came here Legally , with the hope and desire to become citizens of the greatest nation in history . There was nothing here for them FREE , except the Freedom of their soul , and an opportunity to embrace it and be part of something the world had never before seen , The USA !!

Answer 9

Mexicans do not have to learn English. If they are content to spend their lives cleaning toilets and cutting grass then do not learn.

If you want your children to succeed then English is the language of business not only n the USA but worldwide.

Go ahead and condemn yourself to failure, the world needs busboys.
