Much easier to get an entry visa if you already know either. It's funny how being able to understand your boss, your co-workers, the police, the courts, the law makers and much of the rest of what's going on aids in being a productive member of a society.

Which is why I believe it is important for immigrants whose primary language is non-English, to learn English.

But I won't go on a hateful rage against those immigrants who have not made such an effort. They just won't be able to have as gainful employment as their fellas who do learn English.

Hateful rage? They should not be given citizenship, or they should be shown the door (unless they have some demonstrable reason for ignoring the people they wish to live among). Nothing hateful in that.

The Spanish speakers in America are a peculiar situation. It seems that the southern US is being taken over by a foreign invasion for which your Republic seems ill equipped to withstand.

I am reminded of another thread going on at the moment.

But, I am also reminded that moral relativity has its uses and limits. Even the Dutch are discovering that.
