One of them indicate that Spanglish degrade languages. It is considered that each language must retain its linguistic and characteristics.
Another stand considers that using this dialect is not give the back to the origins of the mother tongues but there are specific circunstances and we must be flexible. Furthermore, its use speeds up the communication what is the most important of the languages.

Those people create a slang to communicate each other and with the more specialized clients. Sometimes the figure of a translator appears with the massive distribution.
