140. That's what you call a straw man argument.
You created a statement that I never made. I never said that non English speakers could not, nor should not speak English. That was your contribution. And then you went about destroying the argument.

Straw-man for you to burn.

Here's the real argument: What I do have a problem with is when people don't realize or understand that there will ALWAYS be NEW, poor immigrants coming from latin America. So there will always be NEW faces in America learning English. But people will still judge them as if they have been here before and not take into account that they are first generational.
