Ingles por favor (English please)

Tweet

I was raised knowing German and Czech because that was family background and in high school, I took Spanish because I thought it was interesting. I know that the USA is the 'melting pot' of the world BUT that doesn't mean that if you come to this country, you should't know ENGLISH; especially if you move here. If I were to move to Italy, Spain, France, Germany; or any other country, it would be rude and disrespectful not to speak the language of that country. So why is it perfectly fine for the Mexicans (not Spaniards), who have been here a long time, not speak English. There was a situation in the news and a lady was being interviewed and said she had been here 40 years and had never seen anything like what happened in her neighborhood. You mean to tell me you've been here 40 years and all you still speak is Spanish and the reporter had to speak Spanish in order to interview you? I see it all the time. My neighbor are the Garcia's and he speaks English, but she doesn't. Why?? It's a dang good thing I speak Spanish because there have been several times I've had to interact with her. By golly, if you come to this country; the "melting pot", "coffee pot", "pitty pot" of the world, then by golly Ingles por favor!!!!!!! Sorry about the rant.
