We all speak english and so can the hispanics and orientals who have been sneaking across our borders.<br /> Their endless bickering is demeaning.I served in the us army for years and there were many accents but everyone spoke english.Rob Roy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5919807071126702785-1966364456610989350?l=baddemocraticdebates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Roy McGregorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15380361482138517412noreply@blogger.com0
