I partly agree with you. Knowing more than one language doesnt make you an illegal it makes you knowledgeable and cultured. Whether the language be spanish, french, russian, german, chinese or whatever. A language is a language. I do believe though that in America one should be able to communicate with people in English even if they do prefer another language.
I believe that people are not really upset at the fact that spanish is being spoken along with english or instead of english I believe they are upset because whether its the mexicans in the southern states, the orientals in california, or the cubans in florida, the irish and italian in the northern states there are illegal people here and they should go through the process of becoming a citizen if they wish to live in the US. Thats why I think this is such a big topic for people.
And people need to realize that even though they want to discriminate against the mexicans, they are not the only illegals in this country.

I am not against Spanish being spoken...but what I am against is retail stores catering to Spanish-speaking people. These stores, banks, etc. are enabling them NOT to learn English. In the Houston/Pasadena area 90% of the billboards on the freeway are in Spanish. In Houston alone there are 18 Spanish-speaking radio and TV stations. I was just in a Big Lots store and they had a massive display of videos "Spanish-speaking Made Easy". Well I guess since they dont have to learn English all of the rest of us have to learn Spanish to appease them.
