I am not saying every single immigrant, within any ethnicity, but definitely in South Florida. it is bad enough that it is a dominate problem. Yes, I am only fluent in The USA English, but I live in my country of birth, The USA. & Yes, I do NOT think any organization should require any person to learn any language outside of the country they live-in. With my Both Short & Long Term Memory & Language Processing Challenges learning a language is extremely hard, nearly impossible. Some say I need to learn The USA English language, LOL!

I only know for sure, this is true in South Florida, because I have NOT lived anywhere long enough to know either way, but I assume it is true everywhere in The USA. At least where there is a enclave of at least one-immigrant ethnicity group.

With all that being said, I am curious what you all think? Should people HAVE TO learn a language beyond their own countries’ languages? WHO is to blame? I will give that to you after you all have answered these questions. I think it will surprise you all.

    The Spanish were in Florida long before English speakers. A number of languages have always been spoken within the bounds of the USA, before it was ever the USA, up until the present. My great grandparents in Louisiana spoke cajun French

      That is awesome, I believe in diversity! But has nothing to do with the post, In 100s of years ago, under Feudalism (maybe not now we are in Feudalism), is not comparable. I am talking about knowing USA English in South Fl., along with whatever other languages you know or want to know (more power to you, if you know the home countries’ languages).

        Please learn English. Your English is so bad that to me it’s more plausible that you are a Russian troll than an actual English native speaker.

        If you actually are an English native speaker, be deeply ashamed of yourself and never again talk down to people who don’t speak English, because you don’t either.

            An honest discussion with a russian propaganda bot/troll who copy-pastes off a badly written script? Yeah, that’s kinda hard.

            Btw, the mistakes you are making (especially your wrong choice of words) are very much indicative that English is not your first language at all.

          A another good & fair question, I use always try to use U.nited S.tates of A.merica (incase some other readers do not know) because The USA is always trying to dominate everything in The Northern-Southern American continents. Basically, American can apply to The Northern-Southern American continents, The USA does not own that all, YET. Much like the South Florida’s county Dade County has for, I think, 4-decades officially been called Miami-Dade County. it’s most popular city Miami trying to & in many ways succeeded in dominate everything in county. From it’s name-it’s science museum moving up & into the city, away from the science museum’s original, what 7-decades, location.
