What Americans don't understand is that the Hispanicization of America means Americans need to learn Spanish.
Why do white people refuse to assimilate?
Assimilate belongs to past centuries.

Every human ought to integrate; and do away with every difference that separates us.

The problem is that the illegals who are coming here speak a cannabalized form of Spanish...the Spanish we learn in school is a purer conversational form, and they sure wouldn't undertand it. Further, we don't have to learn their language, they are the newcomers, not us...they need to get off their lazy tails and make a concerted effort if they want to truly have a better life here.

hell yeah!!! i learned mexican in high school. spanish in college. yet this bastardized version that i hear everywhere makes no sense.
I learned it for me... not because I felt the need to. If they want to be in OUR country, they need to learn OUR language, live under OUR rules.. and respect OUR flag.

Concerning the language, what accent do they need to speak? Like a Mariner, New Yorker, Southerner, or Texan? BTW what are our rules??

Who said anything about accent...these people need to be able to communicate in English...period. Too many of their children are born here, yet upon entry in our schools, are totally unable to speak a word of English. By virtue of a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, these kids are supposed Americans, yet they cannot speak the prevalent language of their country...how asinine is this? What kind of word games are you playing; of course, he is talking about our laws.

You don't except the laws of this nation?

How about respect for the Flag?

How can we expect foreigners to learn our language when so many who are born here can't even speak or write the language correctly. I have to read papers from many people everyday and I wonder how they even graduated because their writing of the English language is so poor. Go figure!

I expect them to do it the same way that my great grand-parents did...to get off their lazy tails and make an effort. Some illegals have lived here for more than a decade, and still speak no English, yet they have no problem taking every freebie known to man that is available to their American-born kids. They give nothing, and take everything.

We don't care if they speak it with a Mexican accent, AS LONG AS THE WORDS ARE ENGLISH!

Don't try to instigate more arguments, please.

That's because of the syndrome known as "The Dumbing Down of America." With increasing numbers of ESL learners illegally coming into the US and Clinton's PC propaganda AND No Child Left Behind AND Affirmative Action, we LOWERED our standards to accomodate these illiterates and whiny minorities. It's been going on now for decades. TIME magazine even did a cover story on this years ago. The level of American Education TODAY is pathetic.

I think we should invent a new language called USA. I don't even like the British. They tried to turn us into Canada like Maobama is trying to do. We had a tea party back then and we are having one now.
Canadians are like caretakers for England.
America can kick England's butt.
That's the difference.
