TEXAS OR TEJAS?

Being born and raised in Texas you get used to certain things. In school my best friend was Mexican and we taught her mother english when I was in 3rd grade...

Fast forward 15+ yrs later when I can't go to the freakin' Mc Donalds next to my job because no one that works there speaks intelligible Engilsh!

It's quite frustrating to know that someone can come to this country, get a job and live happily ever after without knowing the language. If I moved to Mexico you better believe that they would hire people specifcally to help me. Unless it was a tourist area, in the mountan areas I'd be stuck out.

I don't think that it's to much to ask for them to learn the language. I would require classes for all people who would like to pecome citizens. As as a business owner I wouldn't hire anyone whose English wasn't good enough to serve my engish speaking customers. Maybe that would encourage them to learn the language.
