When my ancestors stepped off the luxurious Cromwell Cruise Lines they somehow managed to learn the language of their new involuntary home land.
Everywhere I go now I hear the cacophony of Meso American invaders who are apparently incapable of STFU for more than a few minutes.
And yes I have come to resent them mightily.
My liberal brother is big on “immigration”.
I did a job where there was a Mexican guy helping me, and I told my brother about him (setting him up for the punchline).
“Yeah - it was a bit difficult sometimes. One of the helpers didn’t speak English except for a few words. But one of the other guys, from Samoa(!) knew English and Spanish very well so he would translate.”
“Well - you can’t expect them all to know English right away.”
“Yeah. Except this guy was the longest-working employee of the company - 27 years in the USA.”
