Themexico tp thing is true having lived here for over 23 yrs.Even mexico city has the habit even with plenty of water as i observed in a CLASS family home. Go across the border into SD and use a facility the issue is there. Going further north it does get better tho. As for plumbing they will use a 2 in pipe instead of a 3 or. 4 inch at times. Built my own home here using US thinking. Not to degress the issue but the world is still learning.
This is AMERICA you want US to learn your language?
This is not mexico!
Politicians occasionally raise the issue of English being the 'official language' in the US when they want to draw your attention away from other issues, like the 80 foot wall that won't be built and the lunacy of thinking we could bring back every job that existed 30 years ago. And it's really amusing to see how many people bite.

Agree its a way to get people to vote and trump mastered it.
My mother's family immigrated here post-WWII. Not one of them spoke a word of English, but they learned it. My uncle, for example, was 19 when he arrived here, worked 60-hour weeks as a janitor and took English classes at night, nearly every night of the week. Even though, for the first few years, he spoke his native language at home, he became fluent in English. This is the way it used to work for immigrants to this nation; now, immigrants come here and expect the country to cater to their laziness in not learning the language. Enough is enough. You want to live in America? Then learn English and stop whining about how "hard" it is.

THIS!!!
the illegal aliens want the whole host nation to bend to them instead of the other way around. they come in illegally, squat and demand they be given citizen benefits without even working for it. oh someone would say, "they all work really hard", but with them demanding everything else at the expense of the host citizens (free education, healthcare, etc), is that hard work really of benefit to the host nation?

When it comes to learning English I think undocumented people are at a distinct disadvantage, they try to stay in the shadows to avoid the attention of the Police or any authority who might deport them, so in most parts of the country they are unlikely to feel safe enrolling in an English class and their exposure to English is probably limited to their interaction with their employer. I don't agree that they "demand" everything, that has not been my experience with them at all, even in states that give them some benefits, they don't enroll in large numbers, because they don't want to bring attention to the fact that they are here illegally

oh really? you must be in a place where there's not a lot of them yet, or maybe they're starting to hide more now that trump has won. put them in a place like CA and TX, and you'll see them in protests for their route to citizenship and/or benefts not even given to US citizens, particularly that recent one for the dreamers and the DACA program.
not demanding everything? demanding US citizenship equates to demanding pretty much everything
