Many of us are not specifically targeting Spanish speakers. We're talking about ANYONE who comes to AmeriKKKa and dwells here w/o speaking and understanding, atleast functional, English.

AmeriKKKans have poor grammar as well. My parents were ALWAYS very strict about grammar. This is why I'm so anal about grammar...and choose to speak poorly at times

I noticed a bit of poor grammar in the original post that started this thread. However, we're specifically talking about persons who are not native English speakers.

Even AmeriKKKans with poor grammar (which 95% of AmeriKKKans have from time-to-time---regardless of level of education) have English speaking skills.

So, with that said...why shouldn't those entering the country be expected to achieve the same?

I do have a small problem with some [/I] of the Hispanic race seeming to be able to use the excuse of not speaking English as a crutch, however some hispanics are more understanding of the English language as they let on.

Also, what about some of our own people who cannot speak a proper sentence without completely jacking it up??? What about some of our kids who are not even reading on their current grade level and were born here???

I can't make too many comments about the Hispanic community unless I know that my nieces and nephew can read and read well.
