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 United States do not have an official language. Nor do they have one national language.
    Nor is it the job of a government to enforce a language.
    Yes, it’s easier to live in the US if you know English. But that’s your personal problem if you don’t.
    And if a significantly large number of people living somewhere speak a different language, why not hire some of them as government officers, police, interpreters, teachers or social workers to make it easier for this part of the population?
