being bilingual is a good thing I think.. I speak russian. but that is a choice. if people are going to move here from other countries then they should learn our language. I have known some people who have lived here for 10 years and still speak very broken english... that is sad.Originally Posted by Sheldon
You can have my freedom as soon as I'm done with it!!!
I'm with scarecrow. Forcing American, English speaking kids to learn Spanish so illegals/spanish speaking people don't have to learn the language is not the answer.

I can see the writing on the wall. Mandatory Spanish proficiency before anyone can graduate High School. More BS from the left...

I would love to be able to speak a half dozen foreign languages. But as was said that should be a choice not mandatory just because we have a bunch of illegals in our country to lazy to learn English.

WITHIN 5 YEARS:
Welcome To The United States Of Mexico.
Liberty or Death
I would give it 3 years. And it will be:
Welcome to the North American Union
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they don't have a real enemy, they'll invent one in order to mobilize us.
Titles are un-American.
English language proficiency should be a requirement to graduate high school in the US.
Foreign language mastery should also be emphasized. The fact is, if we can understand what other people are saying, we can kick ass harder. You don't walk into a business deal with some Chinese and have them talking to each other but you can't understand what they're saying.
Also, next time we go to war somewhere out of the way, we don't have to scramble around looking for 100 loyal Americans that speak fluent Laotian or Arabic.
