[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not Christian and could care less if it is perceived as a patriotic or religious song. I don't care about the gay couple or a melting pot of nationalities but I was very offended it was sung in multiple languages. This is condoning Spanish and other languages to be just like English.  We are are all from other places but have learned English and simulated to the American ways. I don't see anyone respecting America The Beautiful if they come here illegally, if they expect us to learn Spanish to help them, to wave their own countries flags around while asking our government to use our taxes to help them?

If you come here legally, learn the language our constitution was written in and respect our country and flag, then you get our respect.  [/quote]

Oh I see...you got no problem with people coming here legally and speaking Italian or Greek or Serbian or Czech...[b]its those got damn Spanish speaking immigrants who you REALLY hate.[/b]
Why is that?[/quote]

Way to put words in the PP mouth..... This is NOT what was posted.
I agree..... this nation may not have a "national language," but English IS the language of business.  Immigrants will not get ahead IN THIS COUNTRY unless they learn English.  Their job options will be limited.  It would be kind of tough to be something like.... an executive secretary or an attorney .... if you can't speak the dominant language in our country.  Same with most other jobs.  I think it is great if they remain fluent in their home language, but English is necessary to be successful in the US.  [/quote]

I suppose it's up to them whether they want to get ahead, and whether English is necessary.  Every generation of immigrants has figured it out.  This one is no different.[/quote]
