Our national anthem was originally a pub song before our "Star Spangled Banner" lyrics were introduced by Francis Scott Key.

So if the non citizens/illegals want to write their own version.... I'll call it the "Far-Bungled-Spammer"-- just for fun -- I'd consider that a new song.

And I'm for English as the predominant language spoken, written and used in the USA. If our country is home to an overwhelming majority of one or more groups of foreign language speakers who are pumping money into our economy in some way or another, whether through billion dollar business deals or purchasing a Whopper at the BK drive-thru, their language needs should be accomodated in directional signage and basic hospitality (hotel, dining, travel) needs.

But if you are a citizen, you should do what immigrants did in the "olden days"-- retain your cultural identity, embrace your cultural identity... and learn to speak ENGLISH so you can fill out voter registration forms, get your drivers license and go about your daily life with your fellow countrymen who, depsite their diverse and rich cultural backgrounds, have one common language.
