Why Hispanics see no need to speak English!

So...do you have a problem with people who speak languages other than Spanish? There's no "official" language in the US. Are your ancestors native English speakers? In many large cities, there used to be different ethnic neighborhoods where everyone spoke something other than English...was there a problem then or is it just Spanish speakers? Is it a problem that most US citizens refuse to learn a second language unlike most of the rest of the world?

 

Yes Yes Yes (to the first part of your two part question, ignoring the race baiting part) and No

Speak the language the freaking constitution was wrote in... it is that simple.

Why English should be the official language of the United States

 

The Constitution was not written in modern English either. It was written in "the King's English" which is no longer spoken in the USA. So...again...your argument falls apart due to ignorance.

"race bating"? I would posit that YOU are the one who is showing racist tendencies given that you obviously have no knowledge of any other language just like every other narrow-minded arrogant, ugly American.

 

Check the spelling of various words...start there.
English of 1787 was quite different in pronunciation and spelling from the American English currently written and spoken.

 

Yes, the language changed some over time.... It is still English. The generic terms you called me were just as in use back then as now. So when you call me "narrow-minded arrogant, ugly American" any person back then would understand what you meant.

Requiring a language of commonality is pretty common sense. Lets look at the Mexican requirements for citizenship. What, they require you to learn the language and basic history of the country. I guess that includes their brief bout with communism during the early 1910s.

Citizenship

As far as "anchor babies"... Yes that law should be changed also to not allowing it.

U.S. Almost Alone In Granting Birthright Citizenship - Breitbart

 

We, the people of the untied states, unionizing to order a more perfect form, establish just this; tranquilize domestic insurance, divide the common provisions, demote the general farewells, and obscure the blastings of gibletry to ourselves and our posteriors, do disdain and enrubbish this constipation for the untied states of anemia.

 

Many anchor babies are born in America and then the family moves back to their home country such as S.Korea or China.

It's just plain stupid to maintain that system.

 

Proof please.

 

You do not speak Colonial English. Shame on you.

 

When my family came to this country from Europe, most spoke their native language (not English). But they soon learned that they had to work and do business with English speakers as well as other Europeans living here. So they made it a point to learn English and have the kids learn it...after all, English is the language of the USA, these people's adopted home....so they all wanted to speak it.

So what has happened to America where people choose not to speak English? Not only I but my grandparents would disapprove.

 

We currently live in South Florida. The Hispanics typically tend to segregate themselves and have no need to speak English.

It will sort itself out in a generation or two.

There's a roadside "carbon" that's always packed here. About 2/3 Hispanic and 1/3 white. You have to order in Spanish. Fortunately, I know enough Spanish from having lived in Texas and from two semesters in college.

We went to the Phillies-Marlins' game in Miami yesterday and there's a very nice Cuban lady who lives across the street who will let you park in her yard for $10 (literally, across the street. The handicapped parking is about two blocks away, but I can stand in her front yard and hit the stadium with a rock). We had a lot of fun together. She helped me with my Spanish and I helped her with her English. We actually may go back just to visit with her.

Yes, it does annoy me when people come here and don't try to assimilate or learn the language, but, overall, I really like my Hispanic neighbors.

 

I was dressed down by an elderly man in Valencia, Spain telling me that if I was going to live in Spain I should learn Spanish. He had mistaken me for a Brit. Many retired Brits have moved to Spain and live in English speaking ghettos. I agreed with the man. If I lived in Spain then I should learn Spanish.

The other side of that coin is that here in the States it is wise to learn Spanish or another foreign language. If you have young kids or grandchildren it will open many doors if they learn Mandarin Chinese ... as well as Spanish.

 

Ahhhhh......"Globalization!".... press one for English, 2 for Spanish, 3 for Polish, 4 for Dutch, 5 for Italian, 6 for Slavic, 7 for German, 8 for Chinese, 9 for Korean, 10 for Iranian ......etc
