I get mad when i see Spanish subtitles on boxes or a Spanish news channel, i wonder how far is to far. I do not hate immigrants but i demand them to learn English if they come here. here are my reasons.
#1. If Spanish is on a cereal box why isn't everyone language known to man, not every one speaks English or Spanish in America.
#2. A country needs a dominant language to be successful and and to unite everyone in a way.
#3. Language should be like currency, you should have one main one, not a bunch.

i do not think people should only know English, i encourage learning other languages, but putting multiple languages on all items can lead to problems, and possible decrease communication in the USA.

If imagrants want to come here and be Amarican citizens they ought to learn to speak what the national language is.

Looks like you should be more concerned about yourself before you start to worry about imagrants not being able to xD
After all you are Amarican right?

Spanish immigrants need to learn English.
I don't have a problem with them coming here LEGALLY, but if they are coming they need to learn English. Seriously. I once saw a telephone booth with instructions in practically all languages in North America except English.
In public school, instead of having Mexicans learn English, they are having the Americans learn Spanish. Seriously? Why am I having to learn another language to communicate in my home country?
So I don't agree with illegal and legal immigrants coming into the United States, getting a job, and being unable to communicate with Americans.
McDonald's annoys me. I don't go there often, but every once in a while I do, and the people who work there hardly know any English; therefore I don't know what they're saying and they don't know what I'm saying.

I AM NOT RACIST. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY I'M RACIST BECAUSE I SAY THIS.
I don't dislike the people THEMSELVES; I dislike their lacking in English.

BTW, (sorry, not trying to be mean or anything. Please don't be offended!) America is spelled A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N. It is not Amarica. I am an American, not an Amarican.

Corrections!

Mmk (wow I am posting a lot...) sorry bout that, i meant American is not spelled that way. Correctness:
American is spelled A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N. It is not Amarican.
