I must say.. I have no disrespect to our foreign friends here but LEARN THE LANGUAGE..

Here in Florida.. we have a tremendous problem.. Puerto Ricans have invaded this state and taken over..

Yet every time we tell them to speak English, they talk behind our backs in Spanish..

Plus they all seem to think "Puerto Rico" is number 1.. If it is.. then GO HOME! We don't need you here if you're going to bash our country and tell us how great your country is..

If I were to ever walk into a store where I saw a spanish person speaking fluent English I think I'd drop dead.

Also.. Spanish Students should learn the language as well. Not play this game saying they need an interpreter and all that jazz.

If you want to live in America.. please learn our language and speak it..

Spanish in Florida is not as big of a deal to me. The PR's, we really cannot complain as they are Americans. Their country is America and they are natural born citizens. If they want to speak spanish, fine by me, just make an attempt to learn English so they can communicate with those who only speak English (likewise, especially in Miami-Dade where I live, I believe one must also know a fair amount of Spanish, true bi-lingualism)
