Some of the comments in this thread bring to mind a statue in New York harbour, with the inscription "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free....". Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall anything about "as long as they learn English, and speak it at work, and those already here don't have to learn it"
I understood that the US acquired various Spanish-speaking lands over the years, and thus Spanish-speaking citizens. Sure, it is a good idea to learn English. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't be allowed to speak other languages, though.
James: Tal vez seria una buena idea para aprender Espanol? (Lo siento, mi teclado es en Ingles)
