It's pretty simple really. If you emigrate to a new country, you learn the language and obey the laws.

Heritage and culture have nothing to do with it, that diversity is what used to make us great. When a group not only refuses to learn the language, but lobbies to have their language made an official national language. That's not really good for anyone. It's creating a separate nation within our borders causing separation and derision.

There has to be some give for all you take. If someone leaves a country for political, financial, safety or whatever reason. It is only reasonable to expect them to become a functioning, productive part of that welcoming nation in return for that asylum. Learning the language is part of functioning. It shows a great deal of disrespect and possibly contempt toward that nation to not do so.

Strangely, no other group feels so compelled to impress their lifestyle on their host nation. Most actually seem grateful to be free of the nation they left behind. So why should we make an exception? We shouldn't, that would be disrespecting every other American immigrant or not.

If indeed it is so important for them to remain their own nation, then maybe they need to organize and take their country back from the drug lords and criminal political groups running the show.
