One is an AP story that a number of Hispanic churches are now beginning to offer services in English to accommodate second and third generation immigrants.

 St. Louis columnist Bill McClellan has an article in today’s Post Dispatch suggesting that our children/grandchildren, who will be paying our social security, are tired of our obsession with Vietnam.

That is wierd, but I am glad to hear that they are adding the english masses, the percentage rate of second and third generation hispanic immigrants that are fluent in spanish drops lower and lower every year. In my area the churches are all moving to add spanish masses to deal with the large influx of spanish speakers.

That is wierd. When I lived in California, there was a problem with second generation hispanic immigrants because they spoke neither fluent English nor fluent Spanish. They spoke a combination of them, Spanglish.
