Most hispanophones (my word) would disagree. It's not your business what language they speak at home.
It is not unreasonable to expect people to speak a common language in commerce and government.
...and it's not their business what Brock says, either. The incessant sniveling coming from these so-called "Hispanic leaders" (aka illegal alien cheerleaders) is getting to be pretty annoying of late.
No one's trying to control what they speak at home. It's when they want to speak to those of us who don't feel we should have to learn Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Lebanese, Turkish, Urdu, Yucatec, Nahuatl, Serbo-Croation, Icelandic, French, Russian, Lithuanian, Greek, Ebo, Swahili, Portuguese, and Tagalog to accommodate the quivering, delicate sensibilities of all the immigrants who come to America. Just you wait till the day that some Spanish-speaking Mexican gets screwed over at the welfare office because the Chinese-speaking social worker doesn't speak Spanish, and said Mexican issues forth in a hissy fit, "Necessitas aprendre espanol!" (or whatever) and gets called a racist for it. I will be laughing somewhere, you can bet your sweet patooty.
You're right; the language people speak in their homes is their business. However, if immigrants want jobs and want to do business in America, I don't think it's too much to ask that they learn to speak English. It's a small price to pay for reaping the fruits of this country.
No, but it becomes our business when they expect to read ballots in a language other than English, or road signs, or other necessary materials to a common public.
And having grown up on the border in the El Paso area, I disagree with you about New Mexico, Dr. I was born in 1971, and I remember New Mexico well, as my father was born and raised there. You know as well as I do that it is a fairly recent phenomenon that illegals are requesting everything be catered to them in Spanish.
