I work at a retail place and sometimes when Hispanic customers walk in - they expect you to know Spanish and get quiet upset when you tell them you don't speak anything but English. I have witnessed this happen at several occasions even outside of work. I think if you come to a foreign land, you MUST learn their language and their culture. There is no second thoughts about it. We shouldn't have to press 1 for English and 2 more spanish! I can sometimes understand why "Americans" (regular white folks) get upset sometimes.
P.S. - I am South Asian.

I think if immigration in this side of the continent could turn into something like Europe, would be great. I do believe however that people need skills to be able to immigrate to highly demanded places.
I do not agree with English being the only language. Yes, everyone should learn it, but this place would be much culturally richer if people learned at least the major languages. I notice this at work where Serbians predominate, as I get involved in their conversations, i learn a great deal about their culture and customs. Then they start speaking english and that whole sensation is lost.
