To assume that no one (or no American) should care that their National Anthem be sung in Spanish is an outrage and very offending. I'm a Southern Democrat (with more northern ideologies), but this whole immigration thing is absolutely offensive. Wycleff Jean just put that out as a publicity stunt and also to sell it. He does not really care, he's a musician and needs money.
Saying that having our (The United States) National Anthem in Spanish is an insult to the founders of our country and the situation surrounding its (The Anthems) founding. For one this American will be damned if he ever allows his children to be forced to sing the Anthem in Spanish or have this policy applied to him in any way. I'm an American and my national language is English. If you want to have your kids sing the National Anthem in Spanish grab a compass and walk south until you see a sign that says "Bienvenidos a Mexico."
This is the most insulting article I have ever read on this website and you all usually have material that addresses my concerns, for shame.
