    "Claiming that Miami is dirty or messy because of the Latin community which is ridicules"

    Then why do you think it is? because it is dirtier and messier. What else is different?

    "That illegal Immigrates are prone to commit more crime, which is absolutely not true."
    Well, as far as I can tell from TV most if not all of gangs in big cities are made up of blacks or Latinos. This is just a fact. And they commit crime. Same goes to jails, mainly full of blacks and Latinos. Is this not true? I'm not being racist, just not masking reality.

    " but a melting pot of people from over a 140 nations "

    That's the problem, that there is no melting anymore, now it's like water and oil, each one on its own side doing its own thing, no melting.

    "in many of the china towns only Chinese and very little English if at all"

    And that is good? Main stream language is English, and if you don't speak it, you are no doubt not melting at all, not assimilating, and not being part of the country. Another fact. How could you when you don't understand what's being said? And if you think those people see America as their country in their hearts you are kidding yourself.

    "Our tolerance and diversity is our strength. "

    NO, divided we fail.

    "I cannot figure out what could possibly be offensive about seeing Spanish in US."

    You only see Spanish everywhere because the people that came from outside didn't melt enough to even learn proper English. That is not good for the country.

    Language defines who you are more than you think. I am from Spain, remember? 4 official languages and each region with a particular language thinking itself above the rest of the country and wanting their own independence. Not good for Spain.

    People identify with the language too much. People that share a language see themselves as a group apart from the rest, and I believe that it is better for a country when all its people see themselves as part of the same, and not as different from the English speakers etc.

    Please, I have a friend told me that I should watch 'our' TV channels, and not the American ones. Pretty clear this person living in the US doesn't see herself as part of the US. The us versus them is there, and in my opinion, it comes in part from the language.

    Believe me, different languages in the same country only works in Switzerland.

    This is not the UK, but it was founded by the British and they spoke English, what language does the declaration of independence use? English.
