I am more interested in knowing which candidate speaking in spanish especially spanish candidates told the listeners that illegal immigration must stop because it hurts the everyday citizen and that companies should be sought out and fined and that Mexico , Honduras and such should get their own act together socially and financially.
But if learning other things instead that improves one's lot/career in life while a foreign language will not which one would you choose? The choice is clear at least for anyone with any common sense. The former makes one more educated also and actually in a better and more beneficial way. Learning a foreign language doesn't make you any smarter than learning something to advance your career. In fact the latter makes more sense.
There are hundreds of foreign cultures. We cannot learn all their languages to "give us a better experience".
Obstinate advocacy to learning multiple foreign languages or even one where it won't be used is even dumber.
A lot of people build entire careers because they speak more than one language. Learning a foreign language can boost your career; by opening opportunities that other wise would not exist. If you took a look at too college grads, both with a degree in business, if one can speak more than one language, that person has more job options that the one who only speaks one language. Your point is completely false. It assumes people already have their career waiting for them while getting an education which is not even remotely true. What one does in their education will help open career options and being bilingual opens up a lot of opportunities that do not exist at all for those who are not bilingual.

Yep. When I moved to the US, there was an ad in the paper desperately looking for people who were multilingual, especially Russian, to translate for the LAPD.
Guess who got the job?

Pfft. Who do you think we are? Canadians? Europeans?
America in decline, we are experiencing the beginning...
Those that think it's not a big deal or its a good think are the ones that can't see the big picture.
This is another example of the US kowtowing to Mexicans and their language instead of them trying to learn English (our language).
Border, Language and Culture.
Their busy trying to break the borders, changing our culture and now the language....then there is no nation.
When will this happen? maybe 20 to 50 years from now or a civil war.
I beg to differ with you.
Most immigrants who came to this country that spoke a different language wanted to assimilate. Whether it be the Germans, Polish, Irish, Italians, etc., they decided they wanted to be full fledged Americans and made sure their children not only spoke the native tongue, but also gave them American names. That is one of the reasons they have been successful in this country.
Let's be honest, none of the "immigrants" that came here spoke the "native tongue".........
