[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16007870, member: 6727"] About 89 percent of Hialeah's residents speak Spanish as their first or second language and have the largest Hispanic population in the United States. My wife and I drove through a town in south western California back in 2003 and I remember stopping at a drive-through restaurant to get some directions. Nobody working there spoke English; only Japanese. They didn't understand, nor speak, any English. I was shocked. So this English language issue, or lack thereof, is an issue of not requiring immigrants to learn the English language. Teddy had it spot on right back in 1907! [b][U]Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.[/U] “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … [color=#ff8000]We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language[/color] … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Theodore Roosevelt 1907[/b] [/QUOTE]
