They are accomadated more than other immigrants because they are a huge chunk of our population. Not that I agree with it. I had a 55 year old hispanic man call me at work tooday. I got an interpreter on the line for him. He was calling about his loan but the entire conversation ended being about us not having OPTION 2 for spanish! Our option is option 9 lol and he couldn't stand it. Are they well accomadated? Yes, they are... to the point that they are spoiled.

I think all businesses should have PRESS 1 for English, PRESS 2 for LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH. I mean come on, this is an English speaking founded country, run by us. Who invited them to crawl over the wall and say NOW GIVE ME EQUAL RIGHTS WITH YOU? I always look at those refusing to assimulate and feel invaded. WE never do this for other nationalities. Nor would another nation do it if we crawled over there wall. That is if we could survive the crossing. Which is another issue on my mind. Why aren't they shot point blank and why is it 'discriminating' to protect our borders from too many people being on our land? THERE ALREADY ARE. I wouldn't let another freakin' person on this continent if I had my way.<br><br>Doing a great job here.

While I would agree that everyone speaking English is preferred, let’s remember that the exact same arguments you’re making were once used about the Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Germans, Scandinavians, & a host of other nationalities. Even the Irish got the same smack, though the argument was not about language as much as it was about culture/religion.<br><br>The bill makes no distinction between legal & illegal immigrants. That means while we can talk about illegals all day, this bill can be used to discriminate against legals. There has to be a standard that would determine “Basic English.” Who is it? What are the defined parameters? It is impossible to make that a qualifiable test since it would be entirely subjective.<br><br>The national language is the biggest problem here. You asked “Why should we accommodate?” Very simple: Let’s assume that the invasion does continue & Spanish speaking peoples become the largest single group. Once we have set into place the ability to mandate English, we must then acknowledge that another language can take its place as the official language. As it is now, the gov’t accommodates. If there is an official language, your scenario is complete: everyone must learn the official language & there is no need for accommodation. That means English may no longer be accommodated by gov’t & we English-only speakers would not be able to communicate with our own gov’t. It is a dangerous Slippery Slope on to which this Bill embarks. <br><br>Remember, the Indians said the same things about us when we came here. It can happen. Once we set the legal precedent, it cannot be undone.<br><br>I agree that the language barrier is difficult, but the alternative that this Bill gives is even worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541746302550046670.post-80269173505304801692008-01-06T13:51:00.000-08:002008-01-06T13:51:00.000-08:00If you live the U.S., you need to know how to spea...If you live the U.S., you need to know how to speak English well enough for an average American citizen to be able to understand you. There is nothing more difficult than working with the public, like me in retail, and a customer has a need for you to fill and you can not understand a word of what they want. So, you all stand around like dumbasses and say "huh" a lot. A person begins to use sign language or use their hands to try to get you to figure out their need. Sometimes no one can figure it out and everyone leaves frustrated. If i moved out of the U.S. i would know the native language of the country i was going to BEFORE i ever stepped foot there. That is common sense. If they want rights, they need to become an American citizen and work for everything they have.<br><br>lisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541746302550046670.post-92207914703988086202008-01-11T03:35:00.000-08:002008-01-11T03:35:00.000-08:00This is a very interesting blog!
