OMG - that's soo funny but somehow I don't think is fair.
We've got tons of foreigners in the US and we have not implemented an enforcement such as that.
Though you hear it all the time in conversations: "Man, speak English its rude to chat in your own language in a room full of people who only know English."
Que Passa?
You know, there have been times where it seems like on some very basic level we should implement such a policy in the U.S., but how do you decide what is enough? And how do you avoid essentially having a new set of Jim Crow laws?
SO, does this mean they gonna kick your ass out and send you home??? 'Cuz that wouldn't be all bad...
