I was born and raised in America, but for the first time I feel like a foreigner. I was surrounded by a group of people speaking Spanish but it didn’t bother me because I do understand a little. I guess I asked too many questions because one fellow, rather exasperated, said, “You need to learn Spanish so you can communicate better with Americans.”
I guess its time for me to swim south across the Rio Grand. When you are in Mexico what number do you need to dial for English? A few months ago an American was laid off from his job because he couldn't speak Spanish and they said he was unable to communicate with those on his crew. Is there a problem with expecting everyone to speak English. If you have come here for a new like English will really help. Obama is a big help; he just said you can't lay off someone because they doesn't speak English. Only in America can you get laid off because you don't speak a foreign language but you must keep an employee that doesn't speak the local language.
They say in twenty years there will be only two languages spoken in the United States; Spanish and Arabic.
Don’t worry, Obama has America’s back…kinda like an assassin.
