Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English. I agree with that. But understand this. Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English -- they'll learn English -- you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about, how can your child become bilingual? We should have every child speaking more than one language.

You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe, and all we can say [is], "Merci beaucoup." Right?
fortunately for us, we can go over to France and not have to worry about not speaking French....because those enlightened Europeons don't have those 'French-only' or 'German-only' laws and communicate to English speakers, right?.....I think Obama is on the right track....we should require all Americans to be tri-lingual.....English, Ebonics, and one other language......
