OH PUHLEEZE! its not the working poor hispanics that are responsible for companies changing their phone systems---blame the corporate heads.Most hispanics are willing to learn english and use it OUTSIDE THEIR HOME-----big difference here is we americans have lost the use of our grandparents heritage/language ON PURPOSE----hispanics choose to continue theirs

my kids know italian,spanish,french---makes them more open to other cultures---now they are learning HEYNABONICS!

Perhaps its corporate America seeing the trend of the growth of hispanic language as a primary language and capatilizing on it??? Lets face it , it wouldnt be happening if there wasnt a marketable demand...We are no longer a melting pot... we are rapidly tossing our countrys forefathers down the tubes...self imposed segregration... without govt. interference..

I think you meant the other way around, 1 for Spanish.

WE threw our own cultural aspects aside when we gave up the language of our heritage and its customs--the hispanics have not.
corporate america does a great deal of manufacturing in hispanic countries--hence the trend to spanish as their choice of a second language---we can look to government for not stepping in to keep jobs inmanufacturing on american soil our own president is now courting mexico by giving more axcess to mexican truckers pitting them against our own
