***[QUOTE] Notice the Hispanics who speak English only--they are attorneys, managers and white collar while their Spanish only counterparts are roofers, ditch diggers and cut lawns.***

You know LONE STAR, I could not have said it better myself. The Media Over-rates Spanish as a 2nd Langauge in the USA English will Always be No 1, as It has the MONEY BEHIND IT.

Notice the Spanish-Language Media is Over-Whelmingly Immigrant focused.. (they tried Getting US-Born Hispanics by Starting up sa New Network called TELEFUTURA, but it has largely failed and they have gone back to Tel-Novelas the Immigrant Staple Diet on TV). These "La-Raza" people
*DEEP DOWN* KNOW that their Kids (US-Born Hispancs) Assimilate into English, as the Mex-Am GUY In the Article Said ITS Inevitable... However I do believe Parts of the USA, Particularly the US-S/West WILL have a Long-Term Spanish/Spanglish Langauge UNDERCLASS/POVERTY-CLASS...

Your Point Is also Very valid The Hispanics in My Co and all the Attorneys/Computer Techs and the Middle Class that I have come into contact with Directly/Indirectly are
Pre-Dominantly English Speaking or English Only....

Add to that US-Hispanics have 40% Inter Marriage, the Hispanic Middle-Class and Upper Class has a +50% Intermarriage Rate... They are assimilating (Incl. Linguistically/Culturally) BUT the Lefty-Media does not want us to know that... WHY, WHY, WHY Is this - I can't figure It Out ??????????

Thanks!!!!

OFFICIALLY SPEAKING:

The USA 2003 Job Survey:

0.7% of Private Jobs Require Bilingual Skills (Spanish/Eng = 0.45%) - And this is Highly Regionalized/Localized

1.4% of Local/County/State/Federal - Level Jobs = Require Bilingual Skills.... Bottom Line Javelina is you have GOT TO LEARN ENGLISH TO GET AHEAD IN THE USA... That's its....
> This too is Highly Regionalized/Localized.

(ABOVE Fig's PER US-Gov Data)

Currently Bilingual Education is a Major God Damn failure... The Only people it has failed with it 65% > 70% Drop-Out Rates are HISPANICS (Primarily Mexican/Mex-Am Kids)... So when they Drop Out and Fail Due to this FLAWED Teaching Method.... They Blame the Whiteys.

Like it or Not We already Have and will continue to have a Spanish Language UNDERCLASS/POVERTY-CLASS In the USA...
Its a reality and a Fact... The Majority +50% of Your Middle-Class/Upper-Class Intermarry so Whats left are basically the Working-Poor/Poverty Class....

Thanks.. And Take no Offence at My Response!!!
