I said the same thing in posts #218, #310, #318, #322, #326, #332, and #336...several of them addressed to you by the way. Maybe YOU need to learn English.

Now, now Luis, I always spoke well of you.

You need to read my posts as well, I don't care what language legal Hispanics want to speak at home or on the street. I think it would be courteous of them though at work to speak English, it's not too much to ask since this wonderful country was generous enough to let them in. It's illegals who are splitting the country apart, and the boys in Washington need to stop playing games with this. Maybe Mr. Brock is the start of something, I hope so.

I think it is IMPERATIVE for people to speak English at work, the sole exception being businesses that cater strictly to a Spanish-speaking clientele...it wouldn't be a good idea to expect English-only at a Spanish language radio station.

My point, the one that I have been making since my arrival on the thread, is that the First Amendment to the constitution prevents the Feds from establishing an official language.

Period.

The secondary point being that given time, people will assimilate into the culture, but only if they are here legally. You can't both be marginalized and assimilate.

BTW, why do you direct your comments strictly at Hispanics? Is it OK for other nationalities NOT to speak English after migrating here?
