Telemundo, home to overly melodramatic soap operas and dubbed films from the 80's (along with other things, to be fair), is expending great effort to get their on screen personalities to change their accents.
Mexican Spanish, Telemundo says, hits a middle ground between Colombian Spanish, which the network considers too fast and terse, and some Caribbean accents that are too slow and imprecise. Telemundo executives say Mexican Spanish is the broadest-appeal, easiest-to-understand Spanish — if Telemundo's coaches can iron out its typical sing-song cadence. In other words, it becomes the Nebraskan of Spanish.

Why don't illegal aliens in this country ever learn to speak English?
It's because they are illegal aliens and if you are not applying for citizenship you don't have to learn English.
Did you know that Mexicans both here and in Mexico are pouring billions of dollars into our economy vis a vis the banks, stock markets and real estate? That's why the Feds and the big guys are not after them they know they put more money in the bank than Americans do!!!
I hate to have two choices Spanish and English. WHy have we never made English the official language here?
In France the signs in the art museum are in French and in Japanese. Why? Because the Japanese go to the Champs Elysees and spend ten thousand dollars on a suit without the shirt! And probably own the Arc de Triompe by now.
Money talks BS walks. Getting illegal immigration under control is going to take more than Minute Men and a big fence. THis is what they don't want you to know. Many US banks have operations down there and are just raking in the money from Mexico. My question is this: Is that money all from LEGAL sources.
Please don't censor this. I HATE PC.. THanks
