Ah, but even as Esq stated, we do not have to be against foreigners to be against them attempting to turn the country toward their sway.
I have nothing against them personally, and I would help them cross the border if necessary, but I do disagree with our lives needing to change for their benefit. I do not need to learn their language, I do not give a shit about their culture. They can want to be citizens of the country without having to inform others that unnecessary things need to change for their benefit.
No need to learn their culture or language. Not all foreigners are here illegally though and for those who are here legally, this is their country as much as it is ours. So you're free to ignore their culture and language and they're free to an extent to ignore yours as well. I think if you're young enough to learn English you should, and if you're not you should work in places where you don't need to speak English.
As for my comment that you quoted, I was just saying I think it's funny that you call them cowards for running away while you live here never knowing suffering they may have lived.
You definitely shouldn't have to learn Spanish. You should be able to live anywhere in the US and be able to work and shop and whatever without knowing a word of Spanish. I will agree to that. But other people can still speak Spanish all around you just because they feel like it and I don't see how that's a problem. If that made sense.
