NUESTRO HIMNO

A la luz de la aurora ....

You've got to be joking. The title is "Our Anthem" and the words above?? "oh say can you see".

Give me a break. Our national anthem in spanish? WHY?

Ok, I can support anyone that comes here for a future and wants to live the American dream through the sweat of hard work. I can agree to make it easier for those who want to become citizens do so whether it be through guest worker permits or whatever. I do not favor of inviting untold numbers of illegals through our porous borders by granting amnesty to those who arrived illegaly.

Look at job openings on one of the online sites and you will see a growing number of employers requiring prospective applicants to be bilingual. I can understand if a good portion of your position would be dealing with clients in.....say, Ecuador. We are the only industrial country in the world to force workers to adopt the language of immigrants. Imagine a worker from London in the UK applying for a job only to be told he had to be bilingual in Hindu or Farsi.

When you become a citizen you are suppose to know how to read and write in the language of the host country not the other way around. When will it end? There's debate on whether the National Anthem in spanish is a step too far and along with the hoards of demonstrations alienating those who are moderate to their cause....and rightfully so.
