This country doesn't have 800 million to give away to ELs. Honestly I'm so sick of worrying about immigrants coming to our country and receiving the best of everything that even Americans can't get that have given so much to this country. English is and should always be the language of this country. Let everyone who comes here learn it on their own like all the generations before them did. They succeeded in life. That is why America is so great because of it's diversity. We have to stop catering to people who come here and can't speak English. If I want to be bilingual, I'll find a way. I'm sure the government won't send me a check so I can go to night school to learn another language. While I'm so irritated, I'm so sick of calling businesses such as banks, doctor offices, etc. and hearing Spanish first. This is America, why is English starting to fade as though it is not the primary language? Guess what? It is and I hope all citizens agree and make sure the government knows this is what we want. Not what they want. As far as I'm concerned we need to have referendums on so many issues that concern us like this one. It is our tax money they are spending. We certainly should have a say and vote on a lot of these problems. Okay I just fell off my soap box.lol Hope to get some responses.Soap Boxnoreply@blogger.com
