Welcome back!

I speak English. Do you?

so many of the forms that people need to fill out these days also have Spanish on them. I am not Spanish. It bothers me that people that want to live in our country do not bother to learn English. If they are in the process of learning, more power to them for they will be bi-lingual, and I am not.

I understand that when people first come here, they may not speak our language, yet. However, when they have lived here long enough to apply for Food Stamps, or other government help, why would we have to use their language?

One of our former Presidents evidently felt the same way. Roosevelt made this plain. I’m not trying to sound like a bigot, because I’m not. If I went to live in another country I would try to learn what language they spoke. After all isn’t communication important? Isn’t it?
