I am by no means being hateful…..I just don't understand the backwards practice of forcing the host country to learn the incoming immigrant's native language. If I was to move to Mexico or some other Spanish speaking country…..I'd be forced to learn that language just for survival.
I am hispanic american and don't know why white americans don't stop this. Even people coming to Ellis Island had to aclimate to our society. We let these hispanic communities live in their own bubbles. We are giving away our nation heck here in Texas our voting cards are in english and spanish.
Food for thought………..
Do you honestly think we can support the hispanic population of every hispanic country in the USA. Stop this!!!!!

They kids that go to public school DO learn the english laungage. Kids that are native, depending on the course of study, have to learn a forign laugnage, not nessary Spanish. The adults do not have to learn either. Noone is being forced to learn either, but I do agree that if you come here to live, learn the native language. If we went there, we'd need to learn spanish, or wherever.

I don't believe for one moment that Americans are being 'forced' to learn Spanish.

I've never heard of anyone being forced to learn spanish.
Many schools require students to take a foreign language of some kind, but that's a perfectly reasonable requirement.

While we may not have English as our "official" language, it HAS been the de-facto standard in this country since it's inception, and is universally viewed as the language of business.

If that is the case like everything else it is wrong.

I think its mostly cuz these people outline themselves as minority even though others dont look at them that way, and "being a minority" they try to get things done their way. I maybe completely wrong but thats just how I perceive this, and with no disrespect to anybody

We as Americans are not being forced to learn Spanish at all. But as our country continues to become a melting pot it is not unlikely that learning a second language will be helpful to us all. As for Hispanics not learning English that is a falsehood, if your child goes to a public school in the US they will learn English. I think a better question is… why are people so afraid of having a second language? Being bilingual in America is very beneficial.
