"We are working people," he said in Spanish. "We want to keep working." The workers want bilingual training, saying that expecting them to learn English in the 18 months of allowed training is unrealistic and discriminatory.
Maybe if they learned English, providing they are here legally, then they would have a better chance of finding work. Don't let this country go the way Canada went. THere, you need to be bilingual to get a government job. Since only the French learn English, they get all the positions of power. Don't let Spanish-Enlish bilingualism happen here!
It's definitely already here ---many of these people have lived here 20-30 years and still will not learn English, they'd rather lay around and let the taxpayers support them, they can't move to other parts of the US except Spanish-speaking areas, they're not about to go back to Mexico where they'd have to work for a living. We're stuck with them ---thousands who will never work again because of NAFTA taking their jobs to Mexico. It's not all that hard for an illegal from Mexico to find work around here because they'll do the hard work for low pay that Americans and Mexican immigrants won't do.
