The free stuff - groceries, cell phones, etc. - is what bothers me. It takes some time to learn English. One of the most kind hearted and faithful friends I’ve ever had is from El Salvador. She came her as a 17 y/o and couldn’t speak a word of English. It took her a few years to learn. She’s been here 15 years now and works for a large land development firm in an office tower downtown. I’m very proud of her. Yet she still asks me about words she doesn’t understand, phrases used by business executives. She would understand Rubio much better if he addressed her in Spanish. As long as Rubio is encouraging immigrants to learn English, I don't have a problem with him giving speeches in both languages.

I applaud your faithful friend for learning English and I would also applaud her if she came here LEGALLY... Did she?
