I speak english, french, german and swedish and Latin but that doesnt count since its a dead language. Spanish would be mere child's play.

I say, anyone that can't converse in english after a year in the US should be catapulted back where they came from
edit: I try to get angry but then I realize they're just dooming themselves to poverty and mediocrity since they refuse to integrate into the rest of american society. but then again someone has to make our burgers.

I suggest you guys go live in a country that doesn't speak English and we'll see who's calling on the catapult. What makes you guys think that someone can pick up a language in just one year? Not everyone immigrating to the US is young enough to pick up a language quickly and not everyone has the time to take language classes when they're busy working to feed their family. I know plenty of people who've lived in the States for over 10 years and they STILL aren't fluent in English. As much as I hate seeing the US turning into Mexico, you guys have the wrong attitude towards those who can't speak English.

The point is they shouldn't live in our country if they can't speak our language. If you've been living here for 10 years and can't speak English, that is just being a nuisance. You just aren't trying. I personally think there should be a 20ft wall at the border with electric barbed wire on top. The gaps should be heavily guarded and permission to use lethal force should be given. To pass into the country (unless on business) you should be given an English comprehension test. In conclusion, when you decide to come to America, learn the American language (English, not spanish).

It took me more than a year to learn English. Nobody taught me.
