Why wouldn't anybody think this would be a hostile environment for those who speak only english, we have no idea what's being said or if it's being said about us. I just don't see how that's fair, the united states is a great country to live in and it should be respected as such,because if you came to this country to make it your home then learn it's language. If I was to move to a country who's prime language was not english I would have to learn their language and speak it, why not here? Who stands for the english speaking.
