Is it dangerous to speak Spanish in public in Trump's America? Well, sí! Just this month, we've seen a lawyer threaten to call ICE after he overheard people in a restaurant in Manhattan speak in Spanish, and a Border Patrol agent in Montana detain two Mexican-American women for 40 minutes because he heard the bilingual women chatting en español, because the language “is very unheard of up here,” according to la migra man.

Even so, it shows how common the German language was in the Revolutionary Era United States.

Congress had a vote on the official language of the USA and English won out over German by one vote. Spanish came in as a non honorable mention.

German has fewer words, but the words can be as long as sentences.

English is far more versatile and precise compared to Spanish and most other language for that matter.

Well, this article is refreshing.

An editorial, actually marked as an editorial.

What a crock!

Just as MFM preaches that more illegal aliens are needed here to fill precious jobs, do what Americans won’t do. That worked so well they now wish to change our national Heritage and language. POOP on them.

NBC is certainly taking a lot on themselves.

NO ENGLISH; NO STAY HERE.

“Spanish is the most INEFFICIENT language on Earth.”

Speakers of the Norteno dialect on either side of the border with Texas don’t talk as rapidfire as folks further into Mexico do-we speak more slowly and have the same drawl in Spanish that we have in English. As to who speaks Spanish the fastest-I think Puerto Ricans and Cubans share that honor-they go on and on at lightspeed-you barely catch every 3d or 4th word-some Colombians talk really fast-then slam on the brakes to drag out a long vowel sound...

I’ve only heard “real” French from France spoken in “art”/film noir flicks, but my inefficient language vote goes to the French dialects spoken in Canada or parts of the US where there is a large ethnic French population-whether listening to MrT5 and his family chatter away in Quebecois, or him using the Cajun dialect with cousins in Louisiana, it still took 10 minutes of conversation and gestures to decide to go to a certain restaurant or grocery store...

We English-speakers don’t just borrow it...we CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE it, we STEAL it and make it OURS!
