During WWII, Canada became a world power for a very short time.  Amazing isnt it.

Most countries would ask the US for help first and then talk trash later.

ok, i understand bout the whole language deal, yes this is the USA, yes english is a prime language (did i use that word right?), yes people should try their best to learn it. YES immigrants shoulnt come over here and screw around schools and make a whole mess of things. YES mexicans shoulnt feel "cool"  cussing out at spanishless people. I agree with you on all that stuff.

I dont agree about how you think everyone that lives here HAS to learn or TRY to learn English. Mainly because i mean, you DONT have to know english to live here.  For xample, my uncle speaks english, but poorly, but he aint out picking strawberries, he works at the IRS!!!  Face it, when was the last time you saw something that wasnt translated into spanish. EVERYTHING is either translated or told in spanish EVERYTHING. If it pisses you off that you think people talk sh!t in spanish to you then, why not cuz at them back in english, woulnt it be the same thing. you dont know what they mean, they dont know what you mean? My mom dont know english, she wants me to teach her but theres no time, and well adults have a harder time learning a new language.

Mystiq, thats fine and dandy..but those that refuse to leanr the language in chicago need to stay in little kexico..those down here in florida that refuse to learn the language can stay in little havana.

If they want to interact with most others..at least make an effort to understand and speak the language. Anyone can do what they want..but when one CHOOSE\'s to not do certain things, they end up limiting not only themselves, but others as well.

I UNDERSTAND, yes not knowing the language limits the person and the persons around them. It is a persons choice to learn the language. ok well let me put it this way, when was the last time you WERENT in a place with at least 5 mexicans, if you have then it must be a KKK hideout or something. the truth is english is not as important anymore, like cloud said spanish is the language now, sure this is america, yes english is spoked here, but why learn english, when theres got to be another person that knows English and Spanish, go up to them and get your questions answered. and luckee isnt that kinda segregation, "you dont know english, BACK to lil mexico, english only here" whats next "your skin is to dark, back to your country"

I can see how you took that statment the worng way, but if you refuse to learn the spoken language, you are segregating yourself. With that said, dont turn this into a racial argument b/c that is not what it is nor intended.

The amoutn of mexicans has nothing to do with it. The day the US\' official language changes to spanish is the day I will learn more of it. I must adapt to what is in order to survive efficiently.

I saw a mexican guy dying in the street once back home. They made their way into a non-hispanic part of the city for what ever reason and had some health problems. He couldnt speak english to help tell the paramedics what was wrong. They called a spanish speaking medic to the scene, but it was to late from what i could tell. I dont know if they revived him or not. Point being, if that person made a note to learn english, he may have been helped better. Also please dont say the medics should have known spanish either..if in mexico..sure..but not here.

As for finding a translator, i shouldnt have to do that when i deal with ppl  in a land where english is the primary language. That just further inconveniences me when it shouldnt have to be that way. If I well in mexico city..then I should have to adpat..but it isnt that way.

Meh, spanish - not the main language. Sure, there\'s a lot of Mexicans nowadays, but English is still the language of choice.

As an American female I have to ask.

Why do Mexican dudes looooooove American girls??

I make my money in the summer doing lanscaping (which is mostly immigrant workers).  At least once a day i\'m heckled, whistled at, yelled at, in some cases growled at in the worst most raunchy, demeaning way a man can possibly "admire a woman."  

Can anyone give me a satisfactory answer??
