Every time we have sent an army to France it is because THEY did not want to speak German...they apparently found English preferable because they invited us back.

This country IS based on immigration. And historically, all the previous groups have largely come to speak English. Took some time but each realized that English was the language of government, medicine, law, buisiness, aviation, whatever and to suceed it was best to learn it. Same holds true today...those not adapting are only holding themselves back...
