in my opinion, everyone who comes to live in america should have to speak english BEFORE they get here.

not to be mean or anything, i have many friends from other countries (mexico, germany, thailand, dominican republic).
but i think its ridictulous that we should learn other languages for them, when they're in OUR country.
I disagree. 100%. I also think it's interesting that folks feel this way in our generation when it's likely our own ancestors did not speak English when they arrived here....
