If you’re permanent residents why would your kids have dual citizenship?
seems to me a lot of immigrants want their country here.
It’s America-try to speak English in public and assimmilate
I didn’t read through this whole thread, but in terms of dual citizenship...there is no such thing in the eyes of the US government.
My husband is a naturalized American citizen. He lived here with a green card, and then obtained his citizenship. He is considered a dual citizen in the eyes of Canada (where he was born) and he can hold a Canadian and American passport...however, in the eyes of the American government, they do not recognize dual citizenship.
“It’s America-try to speak English in public and assimmilate.”
I think the article said people often speak in their “first language” among themselves. This written piece proves the writer has good English skills.
My mother-in-law, and her brother, immigrated LEGALLY from Italy, became citizens—yet they would speak in Italian among their generation.
They also saw to it that English was the first language of their children.
So I don’t see any harm in this writer speaking Spanish in America. First generation people from the world over do it.
For my great grandparents, it was Swedish. I harbor no resentment towards them, for this fact.
