If they move to an ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY, and don’t take the time to learn the language, I would consider them:
A- Stupid
B- Incredibly rude
C- Unbelievably arrogant

Or maybe because most of the inmigrants are people who is very poor, they don’t even have basic studies so technicaly they don’t know how to speak SPANISH properly, now imagine being in an enviorement when they have to learn just by asociating object with words and people laughing in stead of correcting them.
That doesn’t mean they don’t try.
They didn’t assist to a school where the bases to speak english were taught.
I know people like that, and it took them around 2 years to be able to speak english (decently (not reading or writing).
And as you can see i’m mexican and have a decent english comprehension, so not every mexican is an ignorant.
And i don’t think is right to judge a person for the languaje he/she speaks.

Dude, public school is free, and when I came here, ESL classes didnt even exist. What is your excuse now? I see it all the time, at the movies you see kids translating for their parents who have been here 20 yrs, and they still dont know the fucking English language.
It is not about judging someone for their language or lack of, but their intent or desire to learn the language here. The best thing we could do is eliminate bilingualism in schools. English should be the only language taught in classes and on forms. What’s next, do we all learn Arabic, Chinese, or some other ethnic language?
