I am not saying every single immigrant, within any ethnicity, but definitely in South Florida. it is bad enough that it is a dominate problem. Yes, I am only fluent in The USA English, but I live in my country of birth, The USA. & Yes, I do NOT think any organization should require any person to learn any language outside of the country they live-in. With my Both Short & Long Term Memory & Language Processing Challenges learning a language is extremely hard, nearly impossible. Some say I need to learn The USA English language, LOL!

I only know for sure, this is true in South Florida, because I have NOT lived anywhere long enough to know either way, but I assume it is true everywhere in The USA. At least where there is a enclave of at least one-immigrant ethnicity group.

With all that being said, I am curious what you all think? Should people HAVE TO learn a language beyond their own countries’ languages? WHO is to blame? I will give that to you after you all have answered these questions. I think it will surprise you all.

    What the hell did I just read? That’s some of the most incoherent nonsense I have read in a long time.

    Dude, you aren’t even fluent in your own language, so why do you think you can judge anyone else?

    Get lost, psycho.

    English --any-- ain’t exactly the native language of the U.S.A. now, is it? It’s the language of the British colonists. Maybe you should learn to speak one of the languages of the many nations that are native to the U.S.A.

      Actually British speak British English & The USA speaks USA English, I thought everyone in the world knew that. The indigenous people’s nations are obviously have their own countries, thus those nations’ languages are the indigenous languages, I thought everyone in the world knew that to. The Indigenous people’s countries are separate countries (should be treated that way, like Italy & Vatican City). Obviously if that is true, then The USA’s indigenous language is USA English. Think a little better next time, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!

        Dude. Are you okay? I’m seriously asking.

        What you wrote is absolutely incoherent. Maybe you have a medical condition? Are yo drunk? Or high? What’s going on here?

    The United States do not have an official language. Nor do they have one national language.
    Nor is it the job of a government to enforce a language.
    Yes, it’s easier to live in the US if you know English. But that’s your personal problem if you don’t.
    And if a significantly large number of people living somewhere speak a different language, why not hire some of them as government officers, police, interpreters, teachers or social workers to make it easier for this part of the population?

    Even if immigrating individuals don’t, their kids will. They always do.

    And Interpreter services are everywhere and often free to the users. So no its not a problem.

      I agree with that & know in South Florida, that is generally true.
      Actually no, interpreter services is not everywhere that is not true! You live South Florida or assuming that?
      Heck, in my unincorporated Ag. area has never had those services, yet we have a lot of people from other countries living here & employees of companies coming into our community, & the poorer immigrants are hit & miss situation. Let alone the rest of times I have been in the huge area of South Fl. called South Dade, is the same situation. From my experiences it is the older & poorer the immigrants are the less likely they are to know USA English. The one-immigrant race that seems to know it best is Haitian-USA. From a Becon TV, Broward County public media channel show New Haitian Generation, I know the parents want themselves & their children to know USA English as soon as possible.

      • Of course if South Fl. spent tax payers’ money on helping immigrants learn USA English, then they should willing to help most of them get out of horrible jobs, like Fields’-Groves’-Nurseries’ Workers, by getting more modern working skills. After that since they are people more education in things that have nothing to do with getting a better job, but make happier people, philosophy & fitness-health & Etc.

      Also the lot better solution is to make the areas’ offer FREE (MAYBE PAY THE IMMIGRANTS), MOBILE IN EVERY COMMUNITY & AFTER WORKING HRS. classes to learning USA English. More than just K-College aged students, & everything, under Govs. control, communicated in USA English only, I would make everyone living within The USA boarders a citizen, no need for ICE or Citizen tests & Etc., so I do not think requiring USA English requirement applies to getting BS Citizenship.
