They could always start blogs, no literacy is required for that.

If the invaders were forced to speak fluent English to sign up for their FREE S**T they would be speaking it tomorrow with the elocution of William F. Buckley himself.

They have absolutely no intent or desire to assimilate, and we aid and abet that by installing bi-lingual systems. The US is becoming balkanized, which is suicide for a nation.

Bears repeating

Why bother to learn English when store signs, product info, government forms, etc. is now both in English and and Spanish?

This sort of thing might be helpful to someone new to the country, but in the long run it’s very destructive. It Balkanizes the nation. Trump needs to declare English to be our official language, period. Everything in English only, period.

Trump is the last person who will be able to do this. Take the risk, Donald. Do it for the long-term good of the country.

What’s Spanish for “The more you learn, the more you earn”?

Why pursue the American Dream, by working? That is just an unreasonable request.

We GIVE them homes, food, medical, welfare and require nothing. So that is what they return - NOTHING. There is no reason to give, as nothing is expected, except that they vote DEM. So that is what they do. And we allowed this.

My mom-in-law’s family was Swedish. Came through Ellis Island. Her family became fluent in English in one generation. Go figure.

Narrow that figure down to Hispanics who are here legally.It stands to reason that 100% of wetbacks are illiterate in English...and that 95% of them are illiterate in Spanish.

Several years ago I remember a lot of churches having EFL signs out front. There are free aps for your phone to learn languages (I’m studying Spanish and German). In other words, there is no excuse for someone not to learn the primary language where he/she lives.

Not to worry.

Our libs are busy making us learn Spanish.

Aided by stores such as Home Depot and Lowes which appear to think that Spanish is our native language.

The globalists are wining. The dumber the public the more money they make off of you. 14% loss of intelligence.
