"It's not that Schwarzenegger doesn't have a point. He's right that immigrants -- no matter where they come from -- should assimilate and blend into American culture and learn English. To me, being proficient in English is more important than knowing more than one language, and knowing more than one language is pretty important."

HASTA LA VISTA, BABY  |

There should have been follow up questions:
What about those who are descended from the Mexicans
who never immigrated but were living in a part of Mexico
when it became part of the United States?
What about those who have lived in the US for
generations and speak English very well? |
