text: why do people not speak english in this country, where is the respect for america?   look around -- everything is in spanish, so they don't have to!  my grandparents spoke german, and when they arrived, no one catered to them, so they were forced to speak the dominant language.  if i were mexican, i wouldn't learn to speak english, either.    whose fault is this?  americans.  this isn't the united states.  it's little mexico.  and it's an insult to anyone from mexico because we're telling them that we don't think they're smart enough to learn english.
