U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo won't take part in Spanish language debate: Why I won't do Spanish debate - 12/06/2007 - MiamiHerald.com
Well written article. I do agree, you want to be an American, learn the language, it makes living here a bit easier for all concerned.
I am a Hispanic female that was born here in the USA.....
I understand that many more people of different nationalities are coming into our country, but what I do not understand is that they are not required to learn our language. If we are to go to their country, we would have to learn to speak what they are saying. Many Elementary schools these days are having spanish as a course. Come to think of it, where my son is attending daycare, they are trying to get the kids to learn spanish. I know times they are a changin, but why should we have to learn other people's language, and they not be required to speak our language. I just do not understand this. If you are in America, you should speak our language and understand it!
I am a Hispanic female that was born here in the USA....my grandparents too were born here in the States, but speak Spanish...what is wrong with them speaking the language that they grew up on and English? Not a damn thing!! That is what makes America great!! All these different backrounds of different races....you have Native Americans, Spanish, Mexican, Africans, Asians, Italians, French, etc....all rolled into one great country. I am so sick of hearing about "it's American, learn English"....they teach Spanish and French in schools...what is so wrong with that? Is it not helping our youth to go out and be a better person and get a better job? Companies want people that are bi-lingual now...I say let people speak what they want, but yes, they should also learn English if they are going to become an American.

It's still a requirement for citizenship, just like entering the country with a proper visa
