you are in America, you have the right and privilige to learn another language!!

True, however This is America not Mexico,Germany or any other country. English is the language of this country.

If I travel to a different country I will learn the language and do my best while there to use it.

I will not try to convert that country to English while there.

English is the Lingua Franca of the United States but it has never been declared an "Official" language and the U.S. is the home of many non-English languages that are as American as Motherhood and Apple Pie.

For example:

THE CAJUN LANGUAGE

Navajo Code Talkers' Dictionary

Gullah

As to Castellano (Spanish), it is the European language with the longest history of being continuously spoken in what is now the United States of America.
