My father and I were both born in the states. His mother & father were both from Mexico. My grandparents never spoke a lick of English,so my father was bilingual and could write in Spanish to.
So when my father had his children he wanted us to Speak English in public only. He said we must assimilate and I thought he was right. at the time no one spoke Spanish in public. I travel weekly for my job just in the states. And the only place I find people I can use my Spanish with is an occasional Spanish restaurant or a McDonald's employee. So long story short I believe your right, English is Americas language and I hope it stays that way..

I'm second gen. Hispanic we had to assimilate. I found racism in the us in my childhood & certainly my mother being caucasian got it as well. We were taught Spanish but were told to only use it at home or with Family.
My Grandmother never spoke a lick of english she lived a long healthy life..
So I said down the lines " I think it should be illegal in the us to discriminate same qualifications one person could even have more seniority but lose out to a person just because they don't speak say Spanish." well personally I think that's wrong. English is Americas language
If you choose to live here learn it...
I think it is pathetic that people come here and do nothing to learn it and expect the USA to accommodate them, have you been to DMV so many languages Printed for drive manuals. how do you drive if you can't read the signs.
I know if I would have only spoke Spanish as a child I'd been a outcast.
I believe in nondiscrimination for American workers as I guess others DON'T. I feel so strongly because of my own personal discrimination throughout my life and think no American should have to go through what I have....
I said "other countries don't accommodate English language you learn it or your on your own basically"
I guess I should have specified in touristy places abroad you'd find plenty of people how could help you. But I was shot down. Saying "I was wrong second languages are great" I agree with that.just not for American employment it's discrimination!!!! We all know English is Americas language.
Anyway I Researched it googling it world population only 27% can converse in English. And English as first language between 3% up to 9%
world wide. Out of some 6.6 Billion people, so I would disagree that you could travel abroad any where and find people who speak our native tung.
No as far as learning English this is what our government has to say about it I googled it...I asked do you have to speak English to become American it said yes...with exception with age..
Thx

Do I Have To Know How To Speak and Write English?
Yes, (unless you meet certain age and residency exemptions or you are physically unable to do so and are granted a waiver by the INS) your spoken and written English will be tested. You will also need to pass a basic test on U.S. history and government. However, if you are more than 50 years old and have been a permanent resident for 20 years OR you are more than 55 years old and have been a permanent resident for 15 years, you may take the test on U.S. history and government in your own language.
If you are at least 65 years old and have been a permanent resident for 20 years, you may be permitted to take a simplified test on U.S. government and history in your own language.
You may choose to be tested at your INS interview or before your interview at an approved English and citizenship test site. Call Catholic Charities at 523-3755, ext. 2608 for information on how to register for the English and Citizenship test in the New Orleans area.
