Barney Frank doing the same thing for "Services Rendered" in a brand new language he calls "scoutmaster"
It's already in place.
Are you saying that you want to federalize driver's licenses?
You think that giving the Feds the ability to take the motor-voter concept national will solve the problems you just detailed?
Brother, it will make them worse.
We are a Republic my friend, and we're getting farther and farther away from that rapidly...don't speed up the process.
Try to keep up, kid. I didn't say anything about Chad. I said the rest of us, as in the rest of us who are reading your ridiculous diversionary comments on this thread. I'm calling them what they are, invaders. You insist that they are immigrants, though you call them "illegal immigrants" which is the republican version of "undocumented workers"
What's the use of discussing whether illegal immigrants should learn English anyway? I thought that they weren't supposed to be here at all!
Good point. I don't want these invaders to be here long enough to learn English. I would rather they stay in their own country and overthrow the socialists who are keeping them poor. We have laws which allow us to throw them back over the border. That takes government action, though. Suddenly you've become opposed to any government action because your idol in the white house doesn't want to do his job.
Have you found yourself in a discussion you'd rather not be having? Don't you hate it when that happens?
I am not trying to do so.. But DL's are already "federalized"
That's the red herring behind the (ahem) national ID card. A State Issued ID is already valid anywhere as identification.
Plus, I think we need a standard. We alone (let the British delude themselves) established English as the universal language of pilots. It's to most commonly learned language in the world.
Personally, I see a rougue state turning a (granted) slightly leaning tower of pissa into a tower of babel.
I just see no need for it. If people want to speak spanish, fine.. Do so.
But I would prefer our business be conducted in English. It's our standard and we are divided enough with the identity politics as it is. We certainly need no more sub classes.
Of course they all speak English! How many descendants of Italian immigrants do you find today that speak only Italian?
Answer: none...roughly the same number of descendants of Hispanic immigrants who will speak Spanish only as many years down the road.
BTW...I am not pleased at all that my kids do not speak any Spanish, I wish they would. But kids normally learn a different language if their mother speaks it, or whoever the primary caretaker may be during their formative years if the mom's away at work.
My wife stayed home to raise our kids, and she is a bonafide, native-born American Jew...so my kids are Jews, with Celtic first names, and Hispanic surnames.
In other words...they're Americans.
Senator Byrd, in whatever language he used to communicate in before the humans found him and gave him a box in their back yard.
"I agree with Chad. Grow a pair and quit your whining. Chad's talking about invaders from a socialist hellhole who don't care about our laws, having flouted them by coming here without permission."

Oh, DeeDee...after shooting yourself on the foot so many times this past year, it's amazing that you can walk at all.
BINGO!!!!!!!
Our "dead"..
Dead the freeper.
?
Okay, in your words, what does this mean? It's obvious you think New Mexico was taken illegally from its "native" inhabitants (since the white newcomers were illegal and all)...just as the Arabs claim their "homeland" was taken and "illegally occupied" by the Israelis. Maybe that's not exactly what you had in mind, but your argument is consistent with that of the Arabs. So are you saying NM is illegally occupied or what?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
How many Italian markets, deli's and restaurants have you been to where they do not also speak English?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I don't see a problem with people of any ethnicity continuing to enjoy and be proud of their cultural heritage.
What I have a problem with is recent immigrants who continue to have allegiance to the country from which they came, as opposed to becoming proud citizens of the United States.
Of course, this is largely the fault of the current liberal mindset that has entrenched itself in our schools and media which espouses multiculturism, and denies ALL our children the proper teaching of American history and civics.
I am!
