Is the world just totally nuts? Put me out of my misery...........

seriously, if we’re saying that not speaking English is a disability, then won’t this pave the way for millions of illegals to collect disability, and not just people in Puerto Rico, but all across the country????

[Pearls Before Swine]

In a similar vein, can blacks be considered disabled because they speak Ebonics? /S

[dfwgator]

"It's durable and so simple to use, even a Puerto Rican can figure it out!"

So, if they were in say, Kansas, they would receive Social Security Disability because they speak Spanish?

[Domandred]

Why are we giving disability for not speaking English no matter who they are? Learn effing English. Its the
international language of business.

[blueunicorn6]

The Democrat Party must be dismantled. They are killing the country.

[Kaslin]

Oh you can be certain they will be guaranteed to receive disability because of it

[Leaning Right]

Is the world just totally nuts?

No, it's just the liberal Western nations (US and Europe). Putin and the mullahs just have to be patient. In due time, they'll be able to pick up the pieces.

[Iron Munro]

Will Obama now grant disability to the millions and millions of blacks who can’t speak understandable English?

[Kaslin]

My natural language is German. When I met my husband I could only speak a little English. Be the time my husband; who was in the service in Germany brought me to the states when he was transferred, I was able to speak, read and write English

So, do the caretakers of these English-Disabled get paid to do their care-taking?

My grandfather's birth certificate is not in English; he was born in a European country.

I never knew him to speak anything other than English, and without any noticeable non-American accent.

The Nuffins family grows every day, first there was Dindu Nuffins now there is Kant duNuffins, and next we will no doubt hear about Wont duNuffins. Rhianna’s “New America.”

With Affirmative Action laws, the Federal Govt. has said that females and everyone else who’s not Caucasian or Oriental are essentially retarded.

This is consistent with those policies.
