Post your comments here on how you feel about the latino invasion of central Florida. Do you think our teachers should be required to learn Spanish to teach our kids? Do you think it is fair that our local government has to hire Spanish speaking workers to deal with the community. Do you think immigrants should be required to learn English before being given citizenship? Just want to hear your thoughts.

When I run into the more than too many spanish speaking clerks and others who seem to have no desire to communicate in the language of this county I speak German or Italian ... they look at you puzzled ... then in English I remind them where they are and ask whose stolen ID they are using.

The Funny thing is that MOST of them do know English but REFUSE to speak it..Especially the NEW YORRICANS!

Seen the Disney Parade. The border patrol was looking to deport Dora the Illegal Explorer and Manny The Illegal Handy Man.

actually they are required to learn english as a citizenship requirement. It's just that the liberal judicial system doesn't feel required to enforce it, that way they can hand out taxpayers money faster

polecatextreme, it just has to be those liberals. They're in charge of just about everything aren't they? By the way, have you seen Osama lately? And those border patrol agents that aren't allowed to arrest.....those liberals are at it again.

Why does it have to be a "Spanish" thing? Why does it have to be a "Latino" thing? Chinese people speak Chinese, Muslim people speak Arabic, Jews speak Hebrew, tourists speak German, French, and whatever language they speak where they come from. I believe everyone is entitled to speak whatever language they desire. Americans are just mad that they don't speak another language or understand it, so when it's spoken, since they don't understand it, they get mad. No one tells anyone what to wear or makes decisions for them. If you speak another language, go ahead and speak it, whenever, where ever. There's no rule that only English can be spoken in the U.S. There's no way that with so much diversity, only English can be spoken. Open your eyes and get real!

With ALL due respect, YOU ARE ENTIRELY WRONG ! ! !
Almost ALL of the non-English speaking IMMIGRANTS who came to this country ( Chinese, Japanese, German, French and EVEN those from SPAIN, etc.) went through the SAME problems that NOW face the Immigrant from the south. All spoke their NATIVE language in the PRIVACY of their home or communities. ALL have learned, or attempted to, the native language of thie U.S.A., which, dispite ANY and ALL arguments to the contrary, is ENGLISH..
NONE, and I REPEAT this , NONE have come into this Country and DEMANDED that THIS country accommodate them until this most recent wave of ILLEGAL INVADERS.

NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD PUT UP WITH THIS, not EVEN Colombia…….
Nor shall the U.S.A………..

It doesn’t have a thing to do with having to learn a new language,either. In my travels I have personally learned at least six. It’s just common sense to at LEAST learn enough to function in the country that YOU choose to live in or visit.

Conversely, IT IS THE HEIGHT OF ARROGANCE TO EXPECT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO FORSAKE IT’S LANGUAGE TO ACCOMMODATE YOU…..
I took four years of Spanish in high school. So you see… Your attempts to show that ALL protests or complaints are PURLY the result of some uniquely AMERICAN ignorance fails…

All other races try and learn english. Only the hispanish don't. I know car lots that if they know you speak spanish they will get you for 23% intrest.
If you don't speak english in our shop, we point to the door for you to leave. If iam in a store employee speaks spanish to me , I leave, then call the manager so he know the employee is rude..
I just think they can not learn english..

I find it absolutely INTOLERRABLE when I walk into a store at the Fashion Square mall, and ALL the girls that work there are only speaking in SPANISH. This SUCKS.

It's disrespectful not just to me but to the country we live in.

The problem is NOT with Chinese, or Asian community, It's NOT with the Muslim or Arabic community. IT'S WITH THE LATINOS.

Spanish people no matter WHERE they hale from should remember what the HELL they're here for in the first place. They came here for a better life right? Well Dammmmmmmit

SPEAK THE STINKIN LANGUAGE...

AND OUR LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH.

Any board of education that forces teachers to learn Spanish in order to CATER to the Latin community should immeidately get their state, and federal funding cut off completely. BECAUSE this only helps to perpetuate the already out of control situation of the Spanish language being FORCED down our throats by the very community that worked their Axxxx off to get here in the first place. THIS SUCKS.

You're absolutely right. Most Hispanics DO know English or enough to get by, they just choose not to speak it. I just don't see how there is anything wrong with that. Other people who speak different languages speak it freely whenever they want where ever they want. Why is it such a big deal when Hispanics do it? I don't agree with the fact that teachers need to learn Spanish in order to teach. That is going to far because I have seen MANY Hispanics come to this country with their young children and they learn English at school. I believe English should be learned by EVERYONE who chooses to live here. It's just that Hispanics choose to speak Spanish over English. Why not? If the other person they are speaking to knows Spanish then why not? If you go to a store and you hear two people speaking a different language and you're upset because you don't understand it, you're not supposed to be understanding it! It's not your conversation so it's none of your business. When I go get my nails done, the Vietnamese or Koreans speak their language in front of all of us and they DO know English. They choose to speak their language in front of their customers and are okay with it. A lot of it has to do with racism and prejudice also. I have NEVER seen so much racism like I've seen in the South. Even some comments here show racism. Regardless of anything, we will never get along as ONE people, some people will always discriminate against others, and some people will just not be accepted. People cannot accept the factors that make other people different so if they are not like them then t

It has nothing to do with the fact they know english, but yet choose to speak their native tongue..its that fact that SPANISH is Being Shoved down our throats...and not by the people who only speak Minamal English its by the ones that speak Full English and Learned to speak spanish in thier homes...here in the United states.. not in a different country....
Its a major issue it has nothing to do with Race, its about Respect..How can we Respect The Spanish speaking ( or others who choose to speak only their language) if they DO NOT respect This country and the SPOKEN language here?
Race is only a issue if you make it one..I am not racists. and its a shame that everyone pulls that card..esecially during the holiday season..as i recall there is only one Race , its the HUMAN one You could easliy say the the war in Iraq is about Race , because there different then us over there.. but its not ..is it..No did'nt think so.
Its really like beating a cement wall with this topic..
One The president could careless at this point...
and two The Present Gov is married to a Columbian , just a couple of reasons why The language issue is a dead one...
what a MESS!

Here’s the difference between the present crop of Immigrants ( AND Illegal Invaders too ) and former groups and if it has ANYTHING to do with RACE, I don’t see it….UNLESS IT’S RACISM ON THEIR PART….
ALL former groups came to this country to find a better life. They DID so because for ONE reason or another, they were unable to find their DREAMS fulfilled in their own homeland…They wanted to become a part of THIS country, not drag their OWN country’s problems along with them. More than anything else, THEY WANTED TO BE ACCEPTED into this country as AMERICANS..They worked HARD to do this and eventually SUCCEDED.
This present crop of MOSTLY ILLEGAL INVADERS have only the PLUNDER of this great Nation in mind.
They don’t FEEL as though they have to earn the acceptance of AMERICA, they FEEL America has to earn THEIR acceptance, and PAY them for the privelege..
They’re here ONLY to PLUNDER that which they DID NOT EARN and to FORCE AMERICA to bend to their will, even to the point of denying AMERICA it’s oWN Language.
In short, they’re doing what ALL INVADERS do. RECONQUISTA ! ! !
By a PEOPLE who NEVER owned AMERICA in the FIRST PLACE……….

“You're absolutely right. Most Hispanics DO know English or enough to get by, they just choose not to speak it”.

POINT OF TOTAL ARROGANCE #1~ If you want to speak Spanish do so in your homes, gathering places and personal environments. This is America and WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE! If you WON’T speak English DON’T EXPECT us to print it in Spanish.

Sa demande que l'américain parle Espagnol pour lui recevoir, protrays vous comme jackass.

“I just don't see how there is anything wrong with that. Other people who speak different languages speak it freely whenever they want where ever they want. Why is it such a big deal when Hispanics do it?”

POINT OF TOTAL ARROGANCE #2~ What’s wrong is that NO other group of people DEMAND that we CHANGE EVERYTHING to include Spanish from the foods we buy to the TV we watch simply because they are to arrogant or lazy to speak this Countries Language.

Aucun autre groupe de gens exige qu'utilisation de l'Amérique sa langue parce qu'ils sont paresseux, incompétent et arrogant au point de la distraction.

“I believe English should be learned by EVERYONE who chooses to live here. It's just that Hispanics choose to speak Spanish over English. Why not?”

POINT OF TOTAL ARROGANCE #3~ Why not? Because this is America and our language is ENGLISH!

La plupart des hispanique qui sont si grossiers quant à parlent espagnol devant d'autres ainsi seulement parce qu'elles ont la mentalité d'un newt et croient qu'elles se montrent au loin aussi le supérieur quand en fait elles trouvent par hasard que des idiots.

“If you go to a store and you hear two people speaking a different language and you're upset because you don't understand it, you're not supposed to be understanding it! It's not your conversation so it's none of your business.”

POINT OF TOTAL ARROGANCE #4 ~ When I am dealing with the general public and I am subjected to two arrogant sales clerks who CHOOSE to speak Spanish instead of English IT IS A PROBLEM. If you want to have a PRIVATE CONVERSATION fine do so in what ever language you like but the problem here is that the Hispanic’s believe they have the RIGHT to speak Spanish TO EVERYONE ANYTIME THEY LIKE.

L'hispanique ne parlent pas simplement espagnol dans des entretiens privés qu'ils le parlent au travail, a affaire avec les clients etc. et PRÉVOIT que ceux de nous à qui l'Américain comprenez ou tais-toi. Il est juste plus d'arrogance sur leur partie.

“ A lot of it has to do with racism and prejudice also. I have NEVER seen so much racism like I've seen in the South. Even some comments here show racism”.

POINT OF TOTAL ARROGANCE #5 ~ Learn the meaning of racism, then learn what prejudice really is. IT IS THE HISPANIC’S GUILTY OF BOTH, by demanding we ADOPT and ALLOW Spanish to be spoken in an ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY

Il n'échoue jamais, quand vous ne pouvez pas prouver votre point ou offrir un explantion valide pour votre comportement vous allez chercher la carte de course. Personne ne vous ont indiqué venir ici, et personne ne seront dérangés si vous partez.

I’m glad that you brought the French language up, Tallen.
I grew up in Louisiana where FOURTH and FIFTH GENERATION French Speaking people are commonplace. Even after ALL this time whenever these people deal with the PUBLIC at large they speak ENGLISH.
Arrogance is EXACTLY the right word for this problem…..Kudos…….
And a PERFECT example of the REAL definition of RACISM can be found at ANY and ALL of these ILLEGAL INVADER Rallys…….. And it ain’t commin’ from GRINGOS……………..

Unfortunately, dl425, they can't understand "L-O-V-E" unless it's in their own language. When you and I or anyone else travels to any other country in the world that is not an Engligh speaking country, you had better have an translator with you, or some rote knowledge of the language or you are SOL! Nevermind asking to be a citizen there! If people want to become citizens of our country the LEAST they should have to do is learn our language which is ENGLISH! Then can go home and speak whatever language they're comfortable with, but don't expect me or anyone else to conform with what's easiest for the immigrants!
