Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But I don't want to have to learn English!

The LA Times reported that illegal aliens are unhappy that not enough doctors speak Spanish. The article never used the words "illegal" or "undocumented" or "dreamer" or "super virtuous" or however we are to call illegal aliens nowadays; only referring to "Hispanics" who can't understand English. But since all citizens understand English, or should, I presume that the article is only talking about illegal aliens. Now let the sob story begin:
Every day, chronically ill Latino patients stream into Harbor-UCLA Medical Center's family medicine clinic.
Some have neglected their health because they're flummoxed or alienated by the medical system, Dr. Gloria Sanchez believes.
The illegal aliens are... alienated! How ironic is that! They are also flummoxed! Have you ever seen an illegal alien flummoxed? If we put up a double layer fence across the US Mexico border, I do believe we'd see a lot of them flummoxed!
But such doctors are in short supply, said Sanchez, a professor and physician at the Harbor City facility. In 1980, there were 135 Latino doctors for every 100,000 Latinos in the U.S. By 2010, that number had fallen to 105.
The number of doctors hasn't "fallen". The number of illegal aliens had dramatically increased.
Irma Torres, 75, remembered one conversation with her 70-year-old husband, Miguel, when he was hospitalized for a heart condition.
"I asked him, 'What did the doctor say?'" she recalled. "And he said, 'I don't know.'"
Don't you hate it when you invade another country and when you seek out free medical care, they don't speak your language???
Angelina Campos, a 55-year-old who suffers from high blood pressure and migraines, was at the clinic to have her injured knee checked by Sanchez.

These people astonish me.
Generations of immigrants used translators (often their own young children).
These damned people want special treatment.
.
They are welcome to seek medical care in their home countries.

Don’t worry ,Obama plans to Import Those Excellent Cuban Doctors after he visits his Hero Fidel Castro
Love it, that test should be standardized.
El tougho crapo!
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But I don't want to have to learn English!
When I was working in a refugee camp in Thailand circa 1979, we used Hmong kids in the camp as translators. They were maybe 14-16 years old. Older Hmong people who had worked for the military in Laos would teach them. Super smart and motivated. There was a lot of turnover as they were resettled t the U.S., but they were really motivated to learn the language. Not just to go to some slum where only their language was spoken.
Take two burritos and don’t call in the morning.
Here’s a compass. That way is south.
Go the f*** back.
Then they can face south and start walking home. Problem solved.
A career criminal from Bexar county is caught robbing a gas station—armed robbery, shots fired—and sent to Huntsville for a long stretch.
He’s sitting in the cafeteria the first evening eating his supper, when another inmate stands up, raps on his table and yells out, “Number 24!”
The fish doesn’t know what to think of this.
A few minutes later another inmate—same drill but he shouts, 92!”
Roars of laughter. This goes on through supper.
The new con chews on this and asks the old con `Hey, what’s up with that?’ and the old timer replies:
“A lot of us are lifers. We’ve heard a lot of these jokes so many times we decided to give `em numbers to save time.”
Wanting to fit in he pounds on the table, stands up and says in a confident voice,
“And then the Texan stood up and chucked a Mexican out of the airplane!”
Dead silence. Abashed he sits down.
He turns again to his new friend and says, “That’s about the oldest, funniest joke I know, and I didn’t know the number so I just told the punch line.
“What the heck happened?”
And the old con shrugged and replied, “Some guys just don’t know how to tell a joke.”
That’s 41 btw.
I agree with them. It’s hard to find an English speaking doctor these days.
Get out and don't come back!
Tough titty. Learn English or go home if you aren’t happy with what we provide you.
My husband was military then DOD so we have federal employee ins. Somehow, my dr, who I've had since my twenties, and my general dr I've gone to for 8 years are no longer approved. We're told Its an Alegent and blue cross disagreement, but I have a feeling blue cross made a deal with obama, because it's catholic hospital/Drs...are who are eliminated. They say not, but I don't believe them. My sisters in law worked for BCBS and said the top guy was kissing up to obama yrs ago.
We should require all Asian Indian immigrants to speak Spanish.
They can always consult a curandero, a Mexican “folk heater”, because where there’s a barrio, there is a “folk healer” plying his wares. And lest you think that only the ignorant consult them, you would be surprised at the Mexicans with college degrees who swear by their mysterious healing powers. As an educator in Texas, it never ceased to amaze me how deep superstition runs in their psyche.
When it comes to screaming, crying, whining and violent temper tantrums; you ain’t seen nothing yet, wait till obama and the cowardly congress makes them legal.
Let them all deport to Cuba and Venezuela for free, excellent fourth-world medical care.
That will solve both their problem and ours.
