Yes, any time a person goes to live in another country you should learn their language BUT not loose your birth language in the process.
Would it hurt YOU to learn a bit of Spanish/French/Farsi whatever and expand a brain cell or two?
no it would,t hurt in fact i speak some spanish, but WHY should i have to to communicate with someone who is wanting to use my tax dollars to get health care etc etc while being here ILLIGALLY???
Ga is in the top 4 of the nation with Spanish/Mexican immigrants....so I doubt Kansas is plagued with hearing Spanish on every corner.
where did you get this information? whisch one of these states got shoved down to fifith?
california? arizona? new mex?? texas?? la?
Mexican Americans are citizens of the United States of Mexican descent. Mexican Americans account for 64% of the Hispanic or Latino population of the United States. Settlement concentrations are found all over the United States. However, the highest concentrations can be found in the Southwestern part of the United States and the Upper Midwest. Chicago is a particular area for a large Mexican American community. Other cities in the Upper Midwest with thriving Mexican American communities are Detroit, Kansas City, Missouri, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. There are also isolated concentrations of Mexican Americans in mostly rural areas in Florida and North Carolina. Growing populations are also present in other parts of the rural Southeastern United States, in states such as Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas. A growing population is also present in urban areas such as Washington, DC, New York City, Miami and Philadelphia. However, Mexican American citizens reside throughout the entire United States, and according to the U.S. census, about 26.5 million Americans listed their ancestry as "Mexican"
Trying to make people " conform" to fit a certain ideal is a wee bit like Hitler did....wanted to make all people ' fit' his idea of how people should look.
no one here has suggested that any one need to look like anyone or anything else, only that they learn to speak english
R2...these pure people here think they fell out of that perfect blue cloudless sky on a beautiful sunny day and landed on a pure white cloud of fluff. I' ve noticed over the years of my time in the West, that most people W. of the Miss. River don't/won't realize that they have Eastern roots and those roots go back to the Europe/Britian or Asia or Africa. Bozeman, of Bozeman Trail fame, well hang onto your spurs folks HE WAS FROM GEORGIA!!!!
but he got smart and left,
This " My way or the highway" ideal is totally opposite of the ' melting pot' theory we're founded on. Some of you must be related to Saddam!!
