Ok, just to get this out, America does NOT have a national language. English is not the national language, despite what you may have been led to believe.
The founding fathers left out assigning a national language for a reason, because America is and always has been a "melting pot" of different cultures.
There is nothing disrespectful or harmful about translating the national anthem into another language, however, changing the lyrics to make it more "contemporary" is somewhat disrespectful. If they want the National Anthem in spanish, they should translate it into spanish, not take artistic liberties. However, changing things in the U.S. to benifit illegal immigrants is wrong. There is a reason they are "illegal" immigrants as opposed to "legal" immigrants. It means they broke the law to be in this country. If they want to be an American, they need to go about it in a legal manner.
