Are you shocked that even pro immigration reform people can stand up for the American way of life?

I work in an industry that deals with many non English speaking immigrants. I am in a managerial position. Today I got an extreme tongue lashing, in Spanish, because our voice mail messages are in English first, followed by Spanish. (no option to press one to continue in English or 2 for Spanish option) I explained to the person that our business is located in the United States and that our messages will always be English first. I then told her that she was most certainly free to take her business elsewhere. I still support immigration reform, that does not mean I am anti American.

Answer:
This lady was very unprofessional to call you on that.If she has such a problem with this, its better you don't do business with her, what a b!tch! I turn away people who have attitudes like this, you handled it better than I would have...
WTG Vegas woman...Excellent job. If I were your boss I'd give you a bonus and a raise. Immigrants need to learn that if they're going to live and work in this country then it's up to them to fit in with us. We are under no obligation to change our system for them.
Good job on your part. And a first!! I actually agree with Angela R
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE SHOULD BE WELCOME IN AMERICA!!

YOU WOULDNT EVEN BE HERE IF YOU PREVIOUS RELATIVES DIDNT IMMIGRATE!!!

THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE A STUPID COMMENT LIKE THAT AND KNOW YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE AN AMERICAN!
Oh, I thought you (as a manager) Were supposed to support and make your customers happy. Well as a English speaking person, Yeah, I think you need to find another job. You are not good enough for your job. you'll be fired soon.

Girl you are not worth your shares. You will be gone if anyone sees how u are. I bet it won't take much to buy you out.
I went in a large chain supermarket food store in Austin, Texas last Thanksgiving while on vacation. A lady came over the intercom in Spanish, and said something. NO ENGLISH WHATSOEVER. This was the middle of the day, the supermarket was very crowded. At least as a courtesy for English speaking people (this is America after all), they could have had an English version of whatever the hel* she was saying.
my old nemesis fence sitting pacifist buddy, thanks for having some huevos.

edit - ahhh, maybe you are mistaken in your comprehensive immigration reform thinking if your underlying feeling is that they should assimilate. You know that isn't happening.
this is America and English is the language of the people. there may not be an official bill declaring English as the official language but everyone knows it is. those that refuse to use English in America should not be here. this is not their country because they refuse to participate in something that partly defines America. we don't owe spanish speaking people anything. if they want to communicate in spansh there is a lovely country to the south of Texas and new mexico that is just the place for them.
well we were all immigrants in the past we all talked funny or spoke different even tho we all are going to be one be cemeterywho is that a ?we are all the same in one religion.
Your question is confusing to me. I am pro immigration but have NEVER considered this nonsense over "language" remotely important. Oh and the tone of the question makes it seem as though "pro's" don't stand up for the American way of life EVERYDAY. Oh and final answer....no not shocked, not shocked at all.
