You said: “Half of Americas pharmacies are unable to communicate with non-English-speaking clients, putting patients at risk of potentially harmful medication errors,...”
I guess they better learn to speak English then.
What scares the heck out me because I was reminded by watching a program on Discovery last night about Ruby Ridge; then I remembered Waco and Elian.
Please don’t elect Hillary or we will see a lot more of this.
There was a *vegan* lady from Houston who bought a center in Austin. Everyone who sold animal products was told to vacate. Even a gas station who happen to sell icecream and jerky.
2. We The People have the responsibility to expel the illegal members of his customer base.
Sounds to me like failure to learn English could be a form of child abuse. Where is Child Protective Services?
1. The landlord has the right to decide who his tenants are.

I agree with you except in this case 1.) is racial discrimination which at this point in time is illegal. If the landlord were white and the AC business was the only hispanic one with a sign in spanish, he would be violating state and federal antidiscrimination laws if he kicked the tenant out on the basis of wanting to maintain the property as an exclusively white, anglo saxon protestant business center to serve only the needs of the white community.
Declare English as the national language now!
BTTT
I knew America was going to hell back in the early 90’s when I got a call at work from a Florida Medicaid recipient (we provided services to docs who accepted medicaid, but somehow this person got our number). Her problem was that she was assigned a case worker who didn’t speak any English, and was told that she didn’t have the right to request a change to someone who did speak English. True story
Much as I disagree with him on many things he has been saying for years "Boarders, Cluture, Language".
No, we landlords do not have the right to pick our tenants. If I refuse to rent to a Mexican, I can get into trouble. Then, once I get him in the building, I have to worry about collecting the rent. They have no conception of paying their bills. When that landlord in Florida goes bankrupt, then we’ll have the last laugh!
I grew up in Stuart, FL. 30 years ago it was a quaint little cracker town on the coast with some of the most amazing beaches you’d ever find. This breaks my heart.
When my better half asked for a Spanish-as-a-second-language class, also for free, she was laughed at.
Did world nut daily do the research to find out that Florida has an english first amendment? Did they examine the lease to see that it was in english?
ahhhh but you are not allowed to discriminate based or race, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.
equal opportunity and all that.
that is law.
This tennant was SPECIFICALLY being discriminated based on ethnicity AND national origin.
Which means he gets attorney’s fees, PLUS all the other fun stuff.
The nerve of this landlord! Just because he owns the property he thinks he has the right to do with it as he pleases. The government needs to step in and tell him he doesn’t have the right to decide who his tenants are.
Bingo-we have a winner.
Unless of course the landlord is a smoker, then he has no right to use his property as he sees fit....
