The goal is not to get rid of people who speak Spanish. The goal is to get rid of people who are here illegally. When you speak like that, it doesn’t come across well at all. in fact, it makes you look ignorant. It’s about law enforcement not about disliking people who don’t speak English.
The actual result of far fewer illegals would be fewer people speaking Spanish in shops. People can understand that without misinterpreting or misunderstanding the comment—as you seem to think they would.
You could not be more wrong.
Goal #1 is get rid of illegals.
Goal #2 is to,rebuild a strong AMERICAN national identity where we all share common beliefs about America and we speak ONE language. Nations cannot survive being fractured and Balkanized. Tolerating Spanish is a key indicator that we no longer believe in ONE NATION. We need E Pluribus Unum and assimilation.
My grandparents and their three young children got off the boat in October 1927 speaking not a word of English. Their #1 goal was to assimilate and become Americans. There is a reason you did not hear “Para español, oprima dos” 100 years ago.
English speaking must become a requirement for residency of any category. No English & not willing to learn, then good bye.
If they don’t speak English what are the odds they’re here illegally? 🙄
Anyone who doesn’t understand the extremely tight correlation between illegal immigrants and large populations of people that only speak Spanish in our country is ignorant.
I don’t care if it is the former, it will make for a better country.
Speaking English should be a prerequisite for legal immigration.
I shouldn’t have to wait on the phone for “press 2 for espanol.”
F Spanish.
