U.S. Official Language?

[Emmsmom]

I agree that English should be the official language. The people of Mexico are not the only ones suffering. There are children right here in our own back yard that need the help more. I will always take care of what is in my own backyard first. I think that Americans would be much better off if WE came first.

As far as learning the language...I think if you are going to come over here to live and work then learn the language. We should NOT be expected to bend over backwards to accommodate them. My husband went to Mexico a few years ago on business and not so much as ONE person who lived over there offered to help him out with the language. He had to wing it and get by on his own. He ended up staying in the hotel except to leave to go to work. Thank goodness he had a driver. The hotel had a restaurant too so he never had to leave to go out and eat either.

This is America and yes it is made up of different cultures. However, those different cultures need to learn the English language. It is only fair and right. I am sure that any other country would feel the very same way that we do.

Angie, I am sorry that you feel the way you do but I honestly think you went a bit to far. I have watched you all from a distance joke around with each other as if you were sisters. To now sit here and read your post I must say is a bit shocking. I seriously think you owe the girls an apology. You can't expect everyone to always agree on one opinion. It just doesn't work like that. You can however handle it in a more mature way.
