Hmm. Interesting. On one hand, I see no problem with it, considering the many contributions that people of Latino heritage have made to our country. I think the bilingualism celebrates the fact that we welcome other cultures into our country. Much of the U.S. was built on the backs of slaves and immigrants who worked for this country.

On the other hand, considering the many different ethnic groups represented in America, if a Spanish version of our national anthem was accepted and implemented, would it then open the door for every group to have their own version of our national anthem in their own language? A Chinese, Japanese, Indian, ect., version? And if so, how would people feel about this?

I do think it's important for those living in America to learn English. Just as when I visited France a couple of years ago, I communicated in French (using a book of course) and I expected that I would have to fit into their culture, and speak their language, not the other way around.

You echo my sentiments.
