And for anyone coming here to live, they have to learn English. If I were moving to another country, I'd learn their language. Please do the same.
Estoy de acuerdo. Sin dudo, tener dos (or mas) lenguas es mejor.
I recently had the chance to visit Colombia for a short time. I quickly concluded that if I were to go there for more than a couple of weeks, I’d try to learn Spanish ASAP.
I see nothing wrong with expecting Mexicans to learn English, if they are going to visit the US for more than a few weeks. What really pisses me off is that I’ve met Mexicans born and raised here who don’t speak English (yes, I know if you are born here you are, by definition, an American - I just find it hard to believe someone born here who speaks only Spanish has any loyalty at all to the USA!)

Quite. And the candidates’ comments in the Dem debate about the value of our children learning other languages are completely correct. As an employer, I’d love to be able to hire people for engineering and marketing position who also had language skills. The only problem is, Spanish is probably low down the list of languages I’d be looking for. French, German. Chinese even. Those would make more sense.
