Brother, if this were some other group of people I would probly feel the same way they do. I am in agreement with them that anyone coming here should learn English. That does not seem to be happening as much as it should among the Latino population, so what choice is there other than to learn Spanish?

Why, just the other day, I tried to get a title to a car speaking in Spanish, and lo and behold, they didn't understand me! Racism! (they must not have been required to learn Spanish...and right down the screet from "El Burrito Shop", too!)

I think the Latinos and everyone else that comes here should learn English. No doubt about it. But like you said in an earlier post, what is actually happening? If you are a car salesman, do you wait for them to ALL speak English, or do you learn Spanish so you can sell more cars? HMMMM?

Makes sense to me!

I don't sell them a car if they are here ILLEGALLY AND UNDOCUMENTED! That means that they are uninsured as was the case with my sister in Austin. The ILLEGALS were awarded money in Texas. Louisiana, as I know it, has a law against that and every state should adopt the same!

So are you going to learn Vietnamese? In large cities like Houston, we have everything in English, Spanish and now Vietnamese as well.

I say again, you need to learn the language of the country in which you reside!

She has twice lost a teaching assignment in the Waukegan district because she doesn't speak Spanish, she said. Last year, after teaching 5th grade at North Elementary for six years, district officials moved her to Clark Elementary to make room for a Spanish-speaking teacher at North.

I think this is totally unfair. This is the United States of America not Mexico or any other foreign country. We speak English -- not Spanish. However, I wish that I knew Spanish. My son has been taking it for the last five years and I am glad.
