So what is the question here?
You want Americans to speak English?
Im sorry but that isnt a question at all.
Americans speak English, others are not Americans at all and should just leave here forever.

So if you dont speak English, leave, no question about that one at all.

Happy Independence Day!!

Also stop printing material in Spanish. We are our own worst enemies by giving in to those too dam* lazy to learn the language.

BTW, I love both of those shirts and would like to at least one of each.

I agree that we should speak English in this land but unfortunately English IS NOT the official language of the United States. If it were then we wouldnt have to press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish. Do you think the United Kingdom has this problem? They are a land of many ethnic groups and EVERYONE MUST speak English. WHen I was stationed in England, I NEVER had to press 1 for English and 2 for French or Italian. The laws must be changed. Lets start by making English the official language. the lady selling the T-shirts is doing the right thing. I will buy one.

You now what, anybody and anyone can speak whatever language they feel like speaking. Once america actually gets an official national language there is no forcing or hating on people that speak another language. And people need to stop thinking that the oly illegals here are MEXICAN cause thats bull, illegals come from all over the world, Euorpe, Asia, China, and spanish countries. and i bet that if the United States was as bad as some of those countries that alot of us would be migrating and escaping to other countries that are better and would hate it that the people from that country are bad talking us and trashing us because we are there and don't speak there language. People need to seriously know the facts and get it staright before you start hating on someone because they don't speak your language or come from somewhere elese.

I believe if one plans on being a permanent resident of this country, one must also consider accepting the fact that English is our primary language. Americans must do the same when moving to a foreign country. I do not believe there should not be any exception for foreigners.

Oh, if only those who constantly snarl "Speak English!" would spell it correctly and write it grammatically whenever they blog -- but so few do, murdering the language they claim to champion. I wonder: are those T-shirts even made in the USA? Or just, ironically, another Chinese or NAFTA import that cost Americans jobs? So much for patriotism...

People who are in America and don't speak english are just lazy and stupid.
AMERICANS SPEAK ENGLISH.. MEXICANS SPEAK SPANISH..

Ok here is my tshirt:

Undocumented Border Patrol

Sensible "school marm" joe strikes again...

Anyway, my biggest problem isn't so much the speaking of Spanish in itself, its mostly about those who have been living in the United States for years, and still never bothered to learn English. After all, why should they? They have everything they need catered to them in Spanish. Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and just about every product one can buy at the store has instructions and such written in both English and Spanish.

I still believe that English immersion is the only real way to help give them a real incentive to learn English. I don't want to see any more parents using their young children as translators.

I feel these t-shirts are disrespecful to the spanish or other countries speaking--first of all when you go to Europe on vacation you don't speak their language right??? probably they have some people that speaks your language to help you..and how good it feels right??? Also, people that come to the states will not learn the language to next day that is a process and takes time..or can you remember what did you learn in your spanish class in middle school or high school?? No, thank you!!! Instead of been complaining about people doesn't speak english you should be worry about yourself and yours to get some education in learning how to speak other languages...and please get some education in how to spell english because about 85% of the americans I know their spelling it is horrible!!! In conclusion...Who discovered Florida???? that is your homework to find out who, and then JUDGE!!!

Toddt:
I don't know why you sound UPSET there is nothing to be upset of...This is the way I feel and I think, and this is a free country...ohhh but did you figured out my question who discovered FLORIDA??? if you don't know yet I will be happy to give you the answer..anyway this is not my case because thanks to my intelligence I speak 4 languages, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian...So, I did my job, so when I go to this countries NOONE has to treat me like you people are treating other just because you can learn a second language...sorry!!! is not my fault...about welfare, food stamps,healthcare, I am totally agree with you because a lot of people from other countries comes to the states and do no effort to get a job (sometimes because of the language barrier) but I am agree they like things to be easy on them...but this doesn't justify the issue with the t-shirts because as a free country you can speak the language you feel like, as long as there is no offense with it. I am in the healthcare system and let me tell you boy...there is a lot of your people without health insurance also, getting charity at the hospital, and also getting food stamps and welfare...but this is necessity because god for bit you don't lose your job or have an accident and be in a wheelchair and will need food stamps, welfare and healcare services..so, don't judge others because you dont know what could happen tomorrow. About the soldiers fighting and dying right now for our country..let me tell you I have a nephew in Marines Corps station in Iraq and a brother station in Israel fighting fo

I highly doubt you speak 4 languages considering I had to read your post 5 times to even figure out what the heck you were trying to say exactly.

Based on your post I presume you are hispanic and you will most likely try to tell me that a hispanic founded it? Since you say you know 4 languages but cannot write in one of them by all means.....be my guest.

hey Lizmid, I can answer your question about who discovered Florida? I believe it were the Indians. Seminole Indians?
