Wow, what anger there is

These comments on Miami are astounding to me. When last I looked, Miami sat near the bottom of Florida's east coast, in a country called the United States of America. It seems to me that the population of Latin America has arrogantly assumed that this piece of real estate is theirs. I don't recall any "Miami Purchase" being reported in the news. Diversity is often touted as a good thing, but as in so many parts of this country and planet, diverse groups can't manage to get along. Perhaps, if we spoke the language of the natives (in this case, it's ENGLISH) we'd get along? I don't live anywhere near the city of Miami, though I have visited many times. It tires me to see grocery stores where I live with signs in two languages. I am bilingual by choice and education, and I think the only people that should learn a second language are the people who move into the US. So, to Latin Americans and other immigrants in the USA, I say "Learn English", because you contribute little to our continued existence as a country by your misplaced arrogance.
