I'm sure you can explain why I have to chose from between two and four languages every time I call a utility or a business concern. So much for your theory. If people come here legally, I have no problem with it, although I think we are incredibly stupid if we allow large numbers of immigrants from terrorist states.

I think it's a factor of where you live ---there are probably areas of the country which are still English speaking and immigrants there are the ones who are able to learn English. There are areas which no longer can be called English speaking, often here the store clerks will count out your change in Spanish and cannot answer you in English.

I'm never given more than two choices -- English or Spanish -- which doesn't say much for the Latino intellect if our government and businesses feel Latinos are incapable of learning our language. I have yet to hear a group of Latinos ever speaking English to one another and I find this article hard to swallow as. Surely her family is the exception, not the rule.
