AMEN to that! If you are going to live here, LEARN THE LANGUAGE! We are really tired of the expense and inconvenience associated with people who have lived in the US for years and years and have never learned the language. Now they want special rights, AND they aren't even here legally.
I also get sick of people speaking their language in front of me so that I can't understand them...or so they think. This is very rude. I can often tell by their body language whether or not they are talking about me. My limited Spanish often surprises some people when I can respond to their conversation.
If we moved to another country, it wouldn't take long before we would have to learn the language of that country. No one changes their street signs, school teachers, employees, grocery coupons, etc. etc. like we do to accommodate people who refuse to learn to communicate in the national language.
