What do you think about illegal immigrants who reside in the US for years but have never learned English?
Answer:
First of all any Illegal Immigrants need to go home back to thier country weather they learned the language or not. If they want to live in the USA they need to learn the language and attempt to intigrate into american society.
Immigrants even legal ones who refuse to learn the language should also go home as it shows that they really have no real wish to remain in the USA except to mooch off of the american people.
As for Emigrating to another country. I have. I just recently moved to Denmark and I am in the process of learning Danish and the Danish Culture and attempting to intigrate into thier society as quickly as possible
Go home and quit mooching off America. Enough said.
Lazy and disrespectful. If they love this country as much as they say they do, the least they could do is TRY to assimilate to our culture, not us having to bend over backwards just to accomodate them when they're the ones who shouldn't be here.
EDIT: Would I go out of the way to learn the local language of whatever non-English-speaking country I emigrate to? YES! On top of that, I would try to learn as many ins and outs of their culture as much as I could. What is acceptable? What is a taboo? How could I move to another country without learning these things first?
String em up by their cactus' plant.
If you refering to the Mexicans it's very simple we will have to learn their language...Spanish..I... LA who speaks english
Stupid. I believe any one who enters this country, preferably legally needs to learn the language and the language is ENGLISH.
They're usually either old people or not educated. Perhaps they feel it's not necessary since everything is going bi-lingual these days.
That shows their disrespect for this country and their unwillingness to become a citizen. They only wish to reap the benefits of this country and display their selfishness.
They got to busy hiding and never learn English language.
Knowing to speak the english language needs to be - and SHOULD BE - a requirement for living in the U.S.
It depends on a few things. Some people are more apt to learning another language, others have a really hard time. Some people are embarrassed because they have an accent and other people make fun of them. I personally would try to learn the language if I were to reside in that country but I am one of the lucky few that went to a bilingual school. I speak Spanish fluently but feel much more comfortable speaking English. I dream in English! You have to be in that position to understand, I suppose. Imagine that you have to go live in Japan, doesn't Japanese sound complicated to the Western ear? To some, English sounds just as complicated as German. If the United States really wanted immigrants to learn English, companies wouldn't have phone menus that say press 1 for English and 2 for Español.
how can you spect an illegal immigrant to learn English if the only jobs they can obtain are in farms gathering tomatoes. Where must of the people speaks spanish.
I'm a permanent recident in the U.S and I have leave here for two years and believe me is not easy for me, that I do not have to work and my only priority is to study
i see them as a failure to adjust to a country that is not theirs. many people argue that some illegal immigrants have lived here for years...but what does that mean? in all those years they have lived here, they could have been using false identities, gang banging, commiting crimes, hacking the system and obtaining many government benefits(including welfare). i know way too many illegals who have been doing just that in all these "hard-working" years they have illegally spent in this country.
A country is only as good as its citizens,if they come over here illegally,do not attempt to assimulate,do not attempt to learn the language and disregard the laws of our land,they are bringing us down to a third world country,we the citizens deserve better.
Some people don't have the desire, time or will to do it, I personally did, but only half of my community does try to do it, we all should, of course, but just like everyone should go to college but not everyone does, or every one should use birth control but some don't, I know it sounds like I am justifying, but it is human nature not to do what is best for humanity, just look at Dem's and republicans blaming each other for everything that is wrong, and they are supposed to be the elite of our society..ja ja all of them are loyal to the lobbyists.
There are legal ones who do not speak English. Go to China town or little Italy. That is fine, they vote and take part in the culture there way. The main reason to learn/speak English is to be successful and to succeed here one must learn the language. English is the language of Commerce. The illegals will be a drain on our resources and will be taken advantaged of. Getting angry does nothing. Our government messed up by not doing anything about this problem for years. We need to fix the mess. Blaming the victim dose not help. I'M angry/upset at the Congress for doing nothing. Peace
I think it shows how lazy and uninterested they are in anything but making a buck off of us.
I think they do not want to become Americans. They are here for money only. This is the number one reason that they are despised.
I see many posts from illegals and pro-illegals asking why people are against them.
Failure to try and learn our language, and demanding we accommodate theirs is the main reason.
If they just want to sit around all day and not mix with anyone,then if they learn English or nor is their business. If they are driving, taking jobs and out and about then they should at least give it a good effort to learn.I live part-time in a non-English speaking country. I really am trying to learnthe language(Hungarian) I know it is hard to learn new things but you have to try. I am also not taking anyones job away over here in fact I am spending hard earned US dollars.I know it is important to know the language of the land if you don't want to be taken advantage of.
First off the word illegal is someone broke the laws we have. The amnesty bill was defeated by the will of the USA citizens,
So if learning English is your main concern think.Enforcement of our laws apprehend & deport. Close the borders.They had a choice come here legally an obay our laws. That was not there choice.
They dont want to be a part of the U.S. they just want to take all they can from us and send it to a country that could care less about them.
Did English speaking "immigrants" learn the language of the native Americans? The language issue is nothing more than latent bigotry.
Most of them do speak and understand English. But, if they don't let you know, they can act innocent- "no sabe". I worked for twenty three years with and around Spanish speakers. When they find out I can speak Spanish, they stop talking in my presence. Been there, done that.
