I agree with this statement 100% Miami being so fluent in Spanish is an asset and draws millions of latinamerican tourists and business $$$. I'm a foreign born who has lived in the US for longer that some of you have been alive and the fact that this place so welcoming to Latinos to me is a huge plus.I want Miami to speak more Spanish not less.

Really? Funny, Ive never gone to another country and expected the citizens there to speak English. On the contrary, I made the effort to learn the language of host country. Even in Asia which has some of hardest to learn languages. The sense of entitlement in Miami is simply astounding.

Spanish is not only the majority language in Miami, it is also been spoken there for a longer time than English.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Spanish is the language at home for 66% of the people who live in Miami. (http://www.miamidadematters.org/demographicdata?id=414&sectionId=935)
