I believe that while English isn't "official" by law, all government documents, laws, court documents are in English only. That, by default, makes it official, sort of.

They really should declare an official language here. In France, it's French. In Germany, it's German. In Spain, it's Spanish. In Portugal, it's Portugese. In Florida it's Spani.....er, well, not sure. Hard to find anyone in Miami that speaks English.

We have two official languages Finnish and Swedish. Because Finland was part of Sweden proper for 600yrs and 6% speak Swedish as their first language. We have everything in two languages, from official documents to road signs.

I don't know what, if anything, they did decide on but the bill to make German the national language failed by only one vote. Apparently at the time there were more German speaking citizens than English and England was still viewed as the enemy.

I'd tend to disagree on that one. Being Mexican, you are not subject to the above restrictions. Only thing here is money. THey make it, send it home, and then go back home to retire. They have no want to stay here other than $$$.

That's one of problems many of us have with your posts. You make claims and then come up with good 'reasons' why you can't back them up. If you don't show sources, how does anyone know you're not making it up?

Figure it out.

You can join the Snopes discussion on it if you want:

Not entirely. There are Mexicans who come here to stay.

They end up becoming citizens.

But of course that wasn't your point, and I agree this time: many Mexicans come here for the best of reasons, but many more abuse the system and then protest that America treats them like criminals. And if you break the law, that's how you should be treated; at least up to a point.

I like a lot of those rules. We should adopt them.
