no they didnt...
Yes they did.
You had to learn the language and the money or you got cheated, or got taken advantage of and many times robbed.
no they didnt. why do you think they all flocked together? 1st generations are typically multilingual where the 2nd and 3rd are. Learning English is not a requirement to coming to america.
See this is where words are twisted.
I never said it was a requirement.
Everyone learned it without it being a requirement, that is called freedom.
With everyone wanting to speak English is what ties us all together as a nation. Any other way divides us.
