The other day I was at an event where they played the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. While the National Anthem was being played I saw some people playing around. I went and talked to them after the incident and they wanted to know why it was such a big deal and why did they need to stand and take their hats off. So, I had to explain to them that it is out of respect and pride for their flag and Country and for those who have served, will serve, and are serving our Country. I had to explain to them that it is all about the freedoms that we have. If they like the options that their Country offers to them they should stand and show the proper respect back to their Nation.
If you can not show the proper respect, I think you should find somewhere else to live your life. This brings me back to immigration and speaking English. If you can not learn to speak English and show the proper respect to our Nation I don't think you should be aloud to live in the United States. My question is do non-English speaking immigrants (legal or illegal) like the options that our Country offers them? Of course they do. If they didn't they would not be here. Are these options enough for them to want to learn the English language instead of expecting us to understand what they are saying? I would think so!
