You would survive by learning French with the assistance of the French government. Actually, that is an easy case.
This issue has to do with the survival of our country, our liberty, and our culture. Sentimentalism has no place in the discussion.
Amen.
As someone who works with Latinos, most from Mexico, I can assure everyone that their children, born here or back home, are more Latino than American. Think about it. They learn Spanish from their parents. Almost everyone they come in contact with before they start school is Hispanic. When they start school they understand very little English. They learn about their home country from their parents, who know nothing about America or being American. Don't be fooled by these people.
