Featured Arist(s) - Spanish Speaking Americans

I'm not here to raise contraversy, I'm the music guy. This is something I was curious about, and needed to hear it. This is the American National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner...in Spanish.

Star Spangled Banner (Spanish Version)

You've heard the media talk about this, you've heard our President speak out on how he feels about this. What are your thoughts? Is it out of line to have a spanish version of this song? Is it not a big deal?

To keep this music related, the song features R&B (and apparently Latin) singer, Wycleff Jean. Enjoy the download, and let's hear what your views are on this.

keep rocking,

This is not my opinion, but I will quote it anyways.
This is what Theodore Roosevelt said about immigrants in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1907
