[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]cont.  The melting pot combines many cultures into one.  When everyone is speaking their own language, they will stay in their own groups.  Is that really what you want America to be?[/quote]

Every immigrant group came in here speaking their own language.  The older immigrants never picked up English, or maybe badly depending on their age and whether they were working.  The younger immigrants picked it up with an accent.  The kids born here became fluent.  That's how it has always gone, and that's how it is going today.  This is America as it has always been, and I am more than fine with it continuing this way.   What's more, it's economic suicide not to continue this way.  It's damn hard to run a company in the construction industry if you can't tolerate some Spanish in the workplace.  Likewise, I could not hire the best people in technology if I stuck to only fluent speakers.  In my company you might hear Chinese, Hebrew, and a number of Indian languages.   I'm not going to skip the best hires because of their English.[/quote]

Then why do we all of a sudden have for English, press 1 and Spanish press 2?  Why aren't these immigrants "picking up" our language or using their money to boost our own economy instead of sending it back home to their families?  [/quote]

Someone is going to chime in with "English isn't our language, we don't have a language"   Such a stupid retort.   [/quote]
