I think if you move here from another country you need to learn our language! I think they need to come up with a new law that says something like that. I know the prime minister of Austraila said something like this and I think it's a great idea. I'm getting sick of going to restaurants with people who can't speak english. Then they get mad because they can't understand you. Are you fucking serious? You came here ...you need to learn our language. Earn your right to be here.

Not really. The people who usually don't know english are doing jobs that us english-speaking americans wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole. So i guess if they're coming here to work, they are coming here to work and not talk to us better english-speaking folks.

God Bless America.

if you actually did research, SPANISH is the number one language most people know how to speak in the USA

If they had made that kind of law in the 19th century and early 20th there would be very few Poles, Russians, Germans and Italians in the US. Hey I wonder if all you ancestors would have made it.
