In the US, you must speak English!

The disconnect between the Pelosi-Reid Democrat Congress and the US public on immigration continues.

Why are we having a debate about speaking English at work. Frankly, what's the big deal?

How can anyone object to speaking English in a job in the US? My parents didn't when they came here. In fact, I recall my dad studying English so that he could work in the US. Makes sense to me! It did to my dad!

Speaker Pelosi is apparently a bit confused on this issue.

My guess is that most Hispanics are not confused at all and understand that speaking English is just simple common sense:

"California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won plaudits when he said last June that one way to close the Latino learning divide was "to turn off the Spanish TV set. It's that simple. You've got to learn English."

Ruben Navarette, a columnist with the San Diego Union-Tribune, agreed, warning that "industries such as native language education or Spanish-language television [create] linguistic cocoons that offer the comfort of a warm bath when what English-learners really need is a cold shower." (English-Only Showdown)

Let me ask again: What other language did you expect to speak in the US?

Obviously, I have nothing against Spanish. It is my native tongue and I speak it often with family and friends. Yet, English is the language of the US!

Once again, we see that the public has a lot of common sense on this whole issue of immigration! (77% Say Employers Can Require English-Only on the Job)

I'm positive that some of those 77% include a lot of Hispanics who have a lot more common sense than the "way to left" Hispanic Caucus in the Pelosi-Reid Congress!
