Quote:Do you think it fosters the feeling that after moving here, there's no need to learn the language?[size=150:iiurjhgt]H[/size]ell yes ot does. As a resident of the Socialist Republick of Kahleefornyaa, I can tell you that it's not just the fact that people live here now for 20 years and don't learn the language... it's more. There is a movement here that says California and Texas should be returned to Mexico. The problem HERE is that they come here for a bette rlife, yet wish to have the same patterns of failure they have at home. I am sorry, but when you have gang shootings and other crap ALL THE TIME, it gets old.
Hell, i wa sin Virginia for most of December and it's wierd there now. If you go by a 7-11, there are LITERALLY 30-40 South Americans out there looking for day work... illegals mind you and nothing is done about it :-0 I wa si a WalMart in Manassas and it was almost all in Spanish :-0 Sorry, but when my great grandparents came here from Bohemia, they didn't keep their same language, they LEARNED English, the language of their new home. If I moved to Germany, I doubt 'd be able to get away w/ never learning or speaking Deutsch!
