If we accept unlimited immigration, can we also expect those immigrants to learn English?

I would have no issue having English and Spanish are both working languages of the United States.

From what I understand, English is mandatory in schools in Mexico for three years. So most will have an intermediate understanding (like me with Spanish) and can function. Trust me, I have been in areas that exclusively speak Spanish and an intermediate level of understanding a language and verbal and body ques goes a long way.

Contrary to popular belief, most immigrants do want to learn English. My boyfriend, who goes as far as wanting open borders with Mexico and thinks Utah, Colorado, etc rightfully belong to Mexico, would like his country to mandate English for more than three years. Oh, and he speaks English at a fluent level. Can barely tell he is not a native speaker.

I love it when old fat white men scream at an adult immigrant who has trouble speaking English. They understand a lot more than you would think, but it is harder to learn as an adult. Especially verbally.

No one supports screaming at anyone.

and no one is supporting unlimited immigration. And a majority of liberals will agree we should take care of our own first.

And honestly ... what is so bad about Spanish being spoken in the United States ?

Agreed. I need more practice anyways, I would love it if more was spoken casually.

yes, except that is not going to actually happen on a wide scale because most immigrants make effort to learn English.
