> Earlier this week, Simmons, an Israeli immigrant, said that newcomers to America need to “learn to speak g—–n English... I’m actually saying the thing that needs to be said because the politically-correct climate is bulls–t,” he told HuffPost Live.

In that regard, I tend to agree with him. My grandparents came from Italy and they were PROUD to learn English and become Americans. After a short while, they stopped speaking Italian, because "that was the old language. We're in America now, we are Americans, so we speak like Americans."
