it takes time to learn it and a lot of people do learn it over time. How about a little patience.

I work with plenty of Spanish people that struggle with the english language but they try every day to learn it. They come to work every day and work hard. a lot of them become citizens.

This speak english or get out of my country crap gets real old......
