I don't mind anyone running a business or paying taxes, but I don't care much for having to speak a foriegn language to do business with them. I live 25 miles from the border, just this morning I was talking with the clerk in a convenience store, she has a degree in computer science, she can't get a job in the computer industry here because she doesn't speak Spanish, so she is stuck selling gas.
Isn't it grand that you can't get a job in your own country because you can't speak the language of foriegners, it has gotten noticeably worse here over the past 10 years.
Brace yourselves folks it is coming to a town near you.
Don’t believe me. Look at the want ads in the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Register, and any of the big city newspapers and all over the country. Take a look at Monster.com, the giant of on-line job listing for the entire country. Start reading all of the ads. You will be shocked, as you wont qualify for many of them because you don’t speak the right language!
Construction foreman better speak Spanish so they can attempt to communicate with the workers. Insurance claims representatives, people that work in court houses, in social services, police, human resources, sales people, city employees, dispatchers, retail clerks, Department of Motor Vehicles, and on and on and on.
And it’s getting worse folks! And it’s not just Spanish, they are looking for Vietnamese, Chinese, applicants etc etc.
Why are our so-called leaders catering to these foreigners and illegal aliens. Why are we being sold out in our own country? Don’t they realize that if this continues, it will be like a domino effect. Once you start this, there is no return.
There is no longer any damn incentive for any of these people to learn English.
Why can’t these foreigners learn to speak English? Why do many of them have no desire to learn English? Could it be that they no longer need to? Maybe I am crazy, but when I am in public, or in a working situation or even at the market, I find it extremely offensive to have people stand several feet from me carrying on a conversation in a foreign language, on a routine basis.
And its getting down right dangerous, when you need to communicate with someone in a potentially dangerous situation, and they just stand their with the deer in the headlights look. It's getting crazy, as our politicians and so-called leaders are now even giving speaches in foreign languages, thinking this is cute or in a sick attempt to gain votes. We are being sold down the river. If this does not stop, this country will become a tower of babble. English is the thread that holds this country together and we are loosing it fast. Think of your kids. Are they going to demand that they learn Spanish or whatever language to survive? Why can’t they learn our language? Is there an agenda here? Many of these people come here and wave foreign flags, celebrate their own holidays, and now, refuse to even learn English because the job they just got, didn’t require it. Must be bilingual, English only need not apply.
