There is nothing worng with know several languages but to only know one language where the common language is not that language is wrong. If you want to come to this country and take part in everything we have to offer then you should learn the common language. It should not be up the those of us who are born here to learn the language of other countries to make it easier for them to to get by here. I own a booth at the local fleamarket and we get many Mexicans in to shop. If they don't speak english or have an interpretator with them they won't get anything from me. It is not my responsibility to learn their language, it is their responsibility to learn mine.

Yeah i agree. What's with all that putting everything in Spanish business. It just promotes the ghetto-isation (is that a word) of the minority language speakers. By allowing them to remain as Spanish only, they can never take part in mainstream activities in the same way. I know what you mean jgoins. You make things too easy for people, they are just going to take the lazy way out.

I sat down next to a large Korean family in a Japanese restaurant last weekend, and all they spoke was English when conversing among themselves and their server. I could have closed my eyes and would not have been able to guess their nationality! On the other hand, I walk into an auto parts store, and five Mexicans are straining the patience of the entire counter staff who are trying to help them, but don't know what they want because they can't understand them. Meanwhile, I'm standing there waiting almost half an hour until the language lesson is over. Jgoins is absolutely right!

Anyone in this country illegally needs to be kicked out regardless of their skin color or language. If they are here illegally they need to go. If people want to come to America they should do it legally and learn the language. I made no implication of illegals sknin color. Just bacause the majority of them are hispanic does not make my position racist. If I lived somewhere that had German illegals doing the same as Mexican I would feel the same. I was in the Navy and was sent to Crete for a year and while I was there I learned enough of the language to be able to go to town and purchase the things I wanted. If these assholes are going to come here and make a living they need to learn to work the system and that involves learning the language. The ones who come into my booth and speak english receive a discount on what they purchase. The ones who don't speak english receive nothing.

jgoins .. kicking people out of the country is like jailing someone for j-walking. it's overkill.

Speeding is illegal and puts many lives in danger. But a driver most times only gets fined. Why not jail time for 1 mph over the limit ? It's illegal so we should take drastic measures to punish speeding.

the learning the language crap is stupid. Like I said in earlier posts. There is no requirement for people born in the US to learn english so why should there be a higher standard for people who come from other countries ?

Conservatives are really mixed up on this issue. Conservatives used to be all about individual rights and freedoms without government entanglements of law.

What will you let the government require you to do next ?

jgoins

if the majority of your customers spoke spanish guess who as the business man would be learning spanish ? You dumbass. Those who wish to succeed at their business have to adapt their product, sales pitch, etc to their customers. Otherwise that business will die quickly.

What you practice is the equivalent of racism against blacks earlier this century. "we reserve the right to refuse service to whoever. it just happens that applies only to blacks."

Why not admit to yourself that you are saying "I won't sell to wetbacks unless they dance like a monkey for me" ? Come on be a man and admit it.

Consider this statement,
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If they want to immagrate here they should do it legally, learn the language and become full fledged citizens. Then they can take part in our system, earn a living and contribute to our way of life.

Beast you are rigth about one thing. If I had a business in Mexico I would learn the language to be able to be successful. I know you didn't mean it that way but that is basically what you said. So the reverse is also true, if they come here they need to learn our language to be successful as well.

The Europeans that came her happened to speak English, the constitution is written in English, the Bill of Rights is also written in English, so without any argument English is the official language of the Nation. So if you want to, speak as many languages as you want, but when going to the store, don't expect the clerk to understand you when you speak French, or when you go to the post office don't expect them to understand you when you speak Italian. English is the language of this land, just as Spanish is the language of Mexico, or Vietnamese is the language of Vietnam. If I were planning to move to Mexico I would sure learn to speak Spanish, just plan common sense.

In coming to the country they do not need to leave their heritage behind, they can bring it with them and even keep it when they become a citizen and learn english. Beast's argument that learning english means giving up ones heritage is just wrong.

that was a pathetic display of logic to arrive at english being the official language.

Many of the early settlers did not speak english. They spoke dutch, french, spanish, and yes english.

Native americans (indians) never spoke english. EVER. Some only learned english after we forced them too. Hmmm .. forced .. kind of like the question at hand.

jgoins

what I said was that this is just another attempt of white people of english heritage to remove any threats to their heritage.

You also didn't prove how it was wrong ? Hell you didn't even examine the issue. That by forcing a view that you possess through law that maybe you are unfairly requiring someone of a different heritage to conform to your heritage. That is BS.

2 million of 10.5 million illegals in this country are NOT mexican or latin. Most of that 2 mil does not speak english. Most of them are white and did not come over the southern border.

Most came in on VISAs issued by the State Dept. Where is your outrage for these fuckers ? You do remember how the 9-11 highjackers got into the country right ? State Dept. issued VISAs.

Crapper

The shirt above is not limited to immigrants. Show me where it does ? I'll give you a cookie should you ever succeed.

I thought conservatives were for a literal interpretation of things.

The shirt says speak english or get out. Nothing hard to understand there.

If someone is an american citizen and should happen to speak french, italian, spanish to anyone the language police are going to arrest them and deport them to whose knows where.

If the shirt said "I want immigrants to speak english or get out" it would make more sense but would still be unsavory.

The idea americans should be FORCED to speak a certain language is ridiculous.

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

Somebody said this was probably the best e-mail he'd seen in a long,
long time. The following has been attributed to State Rep Mitchell Aye
from GA. This guy should run for President one day...

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an
attempt to help everyone get along, restore some
semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our
nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the
blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our
great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more
time to ordain and establish some common sense
guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden,
delusional, and other liberal bed-wetter's. We hold
these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of
people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so
dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."


ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big
screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to
you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing
anything.


ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be
offended. This country is based on freedom, and that
means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may
leave the room, turn the channel, express a different
opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and
probably always will be.


ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from
harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to
be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer
to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.


ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and
housing. Americans are the most charitable people to
be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we
are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation
after generation of professional couch potatoes who
achieve nothing more than the creation of another
generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one
is my pet peeve...get an education and go
to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)


ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health
care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public
housing, we're just not interested in public health care.


ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically
harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally
maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest
of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.


ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the
possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce
away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be
surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you
away in a place where you still won't have the right
to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.


ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All
of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly
help you along in hard times, but we expect you to
take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself
useful. (AMEN!) (AMEN, AGAIN)


ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness.
Being an American means that you have the right to
PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if
you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic
laws created by those of you who were confused by the
Bill of Rights.


ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We
don't care where you are from, English is our
language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came
from! (lastly....)


ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our
country's history or heritage. This country was
founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you
are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any
faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.
The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our
heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it,
TOUGH!!!!


If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time
common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States
speak out because if you do not, who will?

Nobody said that be learning english you have to give up your heritage. There are plenty of American citizens who still maintain their seperate heritage and still know their native language along with english. The heritage issue is a nonstarter and has no basis for not becomeing a legal citizen and learning the language.

You claim to know several languages and yet you still keep your heritage, gee how is that possible? What the pilgrams spoke when they came here is not the issue. What the majority of the nations speaks to communicate with everyone lese is the issue, we speak english. Russia speak russian, Mexicao speaks spanish, Italy speaks italian etc.... Every nation has a national language and ours is english, so learn it or leave, don't expect us to learn your language so it makes it easier for you. That is just wrong.
