Is there a demand for non-spanish speaking Americans/Canadians workers in Mexico?

Yes, the maquiladoras in the border and many of the industries require them if they have skills, and the best is that they can get TN visas to work there. \n\nMexico City is the city with most americans outside the United States.

It's illegal.  But most of those inmigrants have contributed a lot in our society.  US Goverment says a lot about the mexicans but doesn't say anything about canadians that cross the border daily to work here!  Are they americans or canadians?  Are they illegal or not?  Simply unfair.

As a citizen - absolutely.  It amazes me that there can be any discussion about that.  This does not necessarily mean that you become fully proficient, but you need a working command of the language and have the skills to communicate with others in normal day-to-day situations.  If someone were motivated enough to learn then they should be able to grasp the basics in a couple of years. This is already a requirement for US citizenship. The problem is that a vasty majority of people sneaking in have NO desire to become part of the mainstream.  All they want to do is get what they can get and send it back to Mexico and that's it.  In the meantime, they are supported by US taxpayers for everything from hospital emergency rooms to public schools.  These are the ones who need to be rooted out and tossed into the slammer. Sending them back won't work because they will just creep back in.  \n\nThe result of all this refusal to learn English is the outright absurdity that not a day goes by but that I have to press 1 for English.\n\nJesus H. Christ Almighty, we are not living in Spain.

The best thing you can do is learn to speak spanish! You will need a language credit if you plan on going to college anyway. Yes explain it is rude, because it is. Lots of non-americans do this and it is rude. I hope we pass a law that English is the official language of the U.S- I was shocked to hear it wasn't but Spanish as a second language for anglos is a reality we are going to have to live with and is here to stay. As far as Cali turning into Mexico that will never happen. Here is some food for thought..... Most of California was at one time land belonging to Mexico. (along with most of texas, arizona and new mexico) When Santa Ana lost, the land was taken by the U.S.(literally taken, soldiers and rebels going up to houses and farmsteads throwing the occupants  out by force saying this is ours now get out, but hey that is what happens in war) -- along with thousands and thousands of acres that formally belonged to Mexico. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, and your forefathers immigrated here too. You have to expect that the demographics of our country will continue to change over time. I do think something needs to be done about illegal immigration. I also think Mexico needs to do more to develop it's own economy and corruption problems so that Mexicans would not be derperate to come here. If it weren't for those illegal immigrants, however, you would be paying $18 a pound for tomatoes and lots more for things like hotel rooms, all produce, restaurant meals and so on. If you are not liking the change in the population of where you live, this is America, nobody is making you stay here. You have 50 wonderful states to choose from, as well as any country around the world. This is something you will have to think about as you grow up.

Many companies like people who can speak both Spanish and English. You could make fliers saying, "Hola! Mi nombre es..." and translate it into English.

I'm guessing that you're talking about Spanish-speaking immigrants from places like Mexico and South America.  Previous answerers have had a lot to say about this question, so I'll just add a little.\n\nThe Spanish-speaking immigrants I know would very much like to learn English so they can get ahead in the United States.  However, they often work long hours for very little pay so they can just put food into their mouths and the mouths of their families.  This leaves them with very little time and/or money to spend on English classes.  For example, I know a 72-year-old woman who works long days for very little pay cleaning people's houses, and she's desperately trying to learn English, but she doesn't have the time or money to take many English classes.  People often take advantage of her by only paying her a few dollars an hour for her hard work.  It's really not fair.\n\nIt's not a question of inability, it's a question of limited resources.  I imagine that if you were in the same situation, it would be hard for you too.\n\nJust so you know for the future, Spanish is the name of the language, but the people are called Mexicans, Venezuelans, Argentinians, and so on.  A term that works for all people of those backgrounds is Latino/a/os.  If you say someone is Spanish that means the person comes from Spain.

The US is one of the higher paid area to work at.  Look at all the foreign nurse working here.\n\nIf you want to work in Mexico, you will have to know the medical terms and general conversation Spanish to function well.

I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Mexican American works fine.

If its used in your job than yes.\nI would guess the spanish speaking people get a benefit because they use spanish more often in speaking with non-english speaking people.

No.The Mexicans do not want to take over.Nor do any other ethnicity/nationality/race that comes here.They just want a shot at the American dream.

Good question. Many job opportunities exist in mexico, some of the same things they do here for a living. In the village where I stayed for three weeks, many people ran food and drink shops from their homes. Many were street vendors, almost all raised some animals and farmed their land. Some ran transportation and phone services. There was a mill to have your corn ground into flour that everyone seemed to use. My ex husbands family supplied milk to several villages. He even attended college for a while even though his family was one of the poorest in the village at the time. While better opportunities exist in the US to make more money, I saw no desperate people there. They have the perception that Americans are rich, and they come here for that dream. I just don't think its my place to fund that dream for them.

There's nothing wrong with learning a language. But, in the USA, you shouldn't have to know Spanish to get a job. And yet, employers want bilingual employees especially in Texas. Many classified ads say "bilingual preferred" which means they only hire bilingual, which isn't right. We shouldn't be pandering to people who can't speak English. It's the responsibility of everyone living in the USA to learn English. Americans can't be expected to learn the language of every immigrant (German, Italian, Chinese, Thai, etc.) who moves here.

I was born in this country.  I speak English.  In order to communicate we need a common language.  When a bunch of illegalmexican immigrants comes in and refuse to speak English there is no reason why we should cater to them and change everything to Spanish.  This is positively absurd, and I am sick and tired of having to press 1 for English.  The illegalmexican immigrants will not dictate to me that I now have to read Spanish everywhere.\n\nThe time has come to actively campaign against them and to fight aginst them.
