In the Uk lately we have had alot of eastern europeans and i think to alot of people they have been pleasently surprised they come down to the pubs they have really put the effort in learning english and you can have a laugh with them.
The problem i think America has is mexicans come over the border they meet up with other mexicans then live seperately from everyone else. |
...You ever been to an American city? It wouldn't be hard to get around without speaking Spanish(think of it as the UKs southeast Asian population(mainly Indians) as most places humans need to go to in America usually have legal citizens who speak Spanish anyways. The problem comes in when non-Spanish speaking American citizens are "forced" to speak a language they don't have a control over in their own country. I however don't oppose people conducting business in the language they please. Which is what many rabid of the anti-illegals support.This violates some of the most basic rights of privately owned businesses. If you don't understand what I mean here it is in simpler terms.
Business owner wants to conduct business in Spanish. No problem there.
Business owner wants to conduct business in English. No problem there either.
