You’d think they would require the clerk to be able to write in order to communicate.

It creates a hostile workplace when workers shield their talk from co-workers. Gossip, slurs, harassment, and more are obscured from review by leadership.

It’s been brought up about Vietnamese staff at my job.

Thank you for referencing that article EinNYC. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to dictate policy for INTRAstate labor issues.

In fact, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices have clarified that powers not expressly constitutionally delegated are prohibited.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In other words, the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, post-FDR era Congress established the EEOC with no express constitutional authority to do so imo, the EEOC probably established to win votes from low-information voters who have probably never been taught about the fed's constitutionally limited powers.

So not only is Congress effectively nullifying voting power by front-ending legislative powers with non-elected bureaucrats, but the legislative / regulatory power that the EEOC is exercising is actually stolen state powers.

Corrections, insights welcome.

It’s up to patriots to support Pres. Trump with a Congress in the 2018 midterm elections that is willing to support him in draining the swamp.

We have an official language. Our currency. A nations currency is it's language. Ours is printed in English.

The long term effects of this are not good for the US.

A Heartland-Florida strip-mall store near me might as well be named "Abierto's".

That's what the only sign says (abierto)—and there's no English words present.

I guess Hispanics are different in Texas.

A few years ago at work, there were 2 Hispanics talking about baseball to each other (totally unrelated to work), struggling a bit with their English. I said something like, “hey guys, it’s ok to talk Spanish to each other for non-work stuff”. One of them turned to me and said something like, “we’re at work in America, we talk English here”.

LOVED IT!

What next? Air Traffic Controllers who don’t speak English? How far are we going to go to accommodate lazy immigrants who think we should cater to their customs, instead of the other way around?

I don’t deal with them...I just say, “Does anyone speak English here?”. Even when I call user support, or any office, and there is a thick accent I can hardly decipher, I ask for someone who speaks better English.

When the Air Force shipped me to Germany, back in the 60’s, we had a full orientation meeting where they emphasized that WE, the Americans, are the foreigners when we go to Germany, and to act accordingly.

We should require the same courtesy here.

Americans speak, read and write in ENGLISH.
Anything else should be considered subversive and anti-American.

There is no official language of the United States. There have arisen movements to make English the official language, but so far they’ve not met with success.

It would make for a fine Presidential Executive Order.

I wonder if that would be within the purview of presidential orders .. not that any parameters ever stopped 44.

It would be worth it just to watch the heads explode... If it’s fought (and it would) it would be destructive to the RATS... and now thru Nov ‘18 would be a fine time to have them ranting and raving with MS13 types grabbing their crotches while bitching on local TV news about it...
