Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
English was not my native language nor my mother's nor my brother's. Neither was French, Farsi, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Tagalog and a couple of other languages I was forced to learn. My father insisted that we speak the language of the country we lived in simply to show our respect for that country. We learned the languages, moved on, forgot the languages as we moved. Today, I speak American (English is a much different language IMO) and dream in German. Get me good and mad and all the languages I learned come spitting out into something totally incomprehensible.
To me, that we cater to those who aren't willing to learn English is just wrong. It is a disservice to those people and especially their children who are born American citizens. It is an insult to America and the people of this nation. (Gee, get the feeling I have some seriously strong opinions about this subject?) Good song!

Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
BSLINY,
My dear father was an immagrant from Poland, the first thing he did when he got to this country was kiss the ground, the seconed thing was signed up for English classes. He loved and respected this country which is more then I can say for so many of the people comming into this country today! (dont get me started!)

Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
My grandmother immigrated to the US from Sweden in 1910. She immediately began to learn English and insisted her children speak only English out of respect for the country who so willingly accepted her.
The down side, my Mom and her 3 siblings never learned how to speak swedish, something they all wihed they had been taught.

Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
My parents immigrated (legally by the way) from Austria-Hungary from what is now N.E. Slovakia near the Polish border. My father came over in '26, my mother as an infant 1910. I still have the textbook my father studied to become a citizen and it's not an easy book. I couldn't answer some of the questions in it. We were never taught my parents native language. It was English only. They received no breaks from anyone, they made it on their own, no free medical, no free dental, no language provisions in the schools, no native services in the local churches. He and his peers eventually built one of their own. It gets my shorts in a wad when I have to choose English, and when I see our politicians bending over backwards to accommodate the illegals who have literally invaded this country, and then see them demonstrating for their rights.

Re: PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH
I've cancelled credit cards and avoided doing business with other companies who require me to press "1" for English.* I wish I could do the same with the Social Security Administration. > >
