No the USA should adopt english as the official language... it just simplifies everything for everybody involved... There should be no more testsavailable in different languages...

it really is like going to China, not bothering to learn the language & then getting upset when you ahve trouble doing everything... makes no sense...

MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
 
I don't have issue w. his feelings at all...my problem is w. the bumper sticker, considering who he works with....
 
It's common sense really. I wouldn't put a tacky sticker like that on my car, but it does have a point.

It's not a "racist" matter as many like to label it as. If I was to move to a foreign-speaking country, would I be right in calling the nativesracist because they expect me to learn their language?
 
If they're adults and work full time, I can understand that taking classes might become less of a priority but its completely essential.

What I don't understand is the children of these immigrants that are born in the US. And take ESOL classes all the way through High School.

You serious man?
 
whether you agree that they should learn to communicate effectively(you really should if you plan to reside in said nation, but many people have done otherwisesuccessfully) It's real douchebaggy and ignorant to exclaim it like that on a bumper sticker, and i bet it's a problem he'll never encounter/hasnever encountered.
 
if they cant speak/read in english.. how are they supposed to read the sticker?
 
Usually when people have such a strong view -- strong enough to be advertising it on one's automobile with a bumper sticker - it doesn't come from agood place. It's borderline hate in my opinion.
 
I don't think its the immigrants that are complaining about stuff not being translated to their language. I think its us being lazy and changing things sothey can understand instead of us wasting money teaching them.
 
For all intents and purposes, the US is an English-speaking country. It is extremely frustrating working with a customer who doesn't speak or understand alick of English. Why must I learn the language of another country just to survive (or rather, get a leg up) in the workforce?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the bumper sticker.
