As long as they're legal I don't care.  It's the illegal ones that I have a problem with.  And English "is" our National language.  And no, Native Americans are not our ancestors.  The majority of Americans are of European descent.  That's why we speak English.  No, it has nothing to do with culture diversity.  It has to do with intelligence.  The morons who think it's better to have multiple languages are that, morons.  How many teachers are we going to hire to teach all these languages?  How many interpreters do we have to hire because not everyone is going to know "all" the languages.  I took French in high school.  Why?  Because I wanted to.  Did I "need" to?  No.  Do I speak it now?  No.  You want to live in the United States, learn English. I was in the military and went to Germany.  Guess what?   I learned German.  At least enough to get by.  I didn't force them to learn English.  When in Rome, do as the Romans do.  Nuff said.

Some do try but for the most part they do not even try\nThis Country makes it so easy for them to get away with not knowing even though Our laws state they must read and write English to get citizenship here but they still get it.\nWe make it to easy

Actually I do know a lot of them do not. I lived in SF. In the mission district many illegals don't care about learning English because of the community. The same is for my fellow Asians. in China town there are many illegals and I asked them if they had the desire to learn English they told me no and its the same way in Dallas and New York in their Chinatown.

Think about it. If you were to emigrate to another country that speaks Spanish, do you think the locals would all learn English just for you? Hell no. They would expect you to learn the country's official language. I don't see why that is such a hard concept for some people to grasp.

This is only an issue because these people are too lazy and don't want to work for anything. Illigals are even getting gov assistance, and now we are makeing it so that they don't even have to learn english. that is a good question tho... why ARE we bickering over legalizing a bunch of free loaders who can't communicate with the general population? Yea, that will be good for the country *scoff* But we can't deport them! That might hurt their feelings... god, america is really irritating me lately!

Deported, Illegal is the magic word here, I wonder why so many do not understand that word, ILLEGAL = not legal.

That's because our government has catered to them. Instead of following the laws that state they have to learn English. My feelings are if you live in a country learn the language. But our government gives them to many incentives to not learn our language.

because you don't know how to spell, or use correct english, that is just for starters

Illegals are ILLEGAL.  Those folks came into the country illegally.  They're breaking the law by being here.  What's hard to understand about that?'

Some people learn english on their own and are doing the best they can.

Is you be?  Is you know English?  If it's infact a language barrier, I appologize.  Otherwise, you is just whack.  Methinks, you might understand that.

I don't think so. It's an international forum so a lot of people's english isn't that great. It doesn't really bother me too much on here but it makes me crazy when professionals in the workplace don't know how to spell!!
