It drives me nuts when I see bilingual signs on county and federal buildings. I want English to be and remain the official language of my country. I don't believe in bilingual education. However Wal-mart is a private enterprise that has every right to seek any advantage that does not break the law to expand it's business. They are providing at their expensive a service and a product that they see will be attractive to a large group of consumers. The young legal immigrants are learning English it's the illegals that are slower on the uptake. They don't feel the same stake in our society .

I agree with you - but we should also let Wal-Mart and other businesses have to deal with a reduction in their core business though boycotts and direct communication.

All that entities that use Spanish in their business and their packaging and teaching and their cable programming and other functions do, is further the divisions and the eventuality of conflict.

If we want to avoid of the certainty of several million unassimilated and disadvantaged children who will not be able to get the top jobs and the best schools, this has to stop.

Learning an additional set of languages - great. A country with two or more major languages and the separate cultures they support just brings disaster.
