There is something ironic about US citizens whose families have lived here for less than 400 years complaining about illegal immigrants... Yes, there is. But never before have new immigrants so arrogantly *expected* everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. And which codified law did the immigrants 150-400 year ago break? Which property laws did they break? The law that states that they who have the guns determine the borders. And then demand money from everyone within to manage their lives. The immigrants *made* the GD property laws. Think. moo |

Some large liberal municipalities have laws against local law enforcement providing information about illegal aliens to the Feds. What? Where? IIRC Denver and some other large western cities. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

This is AMERICA, and the language here is
ENGLISH -- and I shouldn't have to TELL THEM THAT. This is America, where citizens don't want to learn anything anymore, not another language, not enough mathematics to add a hamburger and fries without a computer, not world geography or culture, where weather reports have all but become smiley faces and frowney faces because nobody knows or cares what an isobar is, where from day one people are taught to "feel good" about their underachievement, and where people expect fifty dollars an hour to attach bolts on an assembly line when someone in China will do for fifty cents and be grateful for the opportunity. And we have the audacity to be indignant. For every million shoppers who must spend an average of 3 seconds (probably far longer) trying to figure out which button to push (Spanish or English), that is 34.7 DAYS spent wasting everyone's time in line, making a stupid, unnecessary choice. (1,000,000 x 3 seconds = 3,000,000 seconds divided by 60 = 50,000 minutes divided by 60 = 833.33 hours divided by 24 = 34.7 days) The choice is unnecessary to =you= because =you= believe it should be arranged for =your= comfort and convenience. What about "paper or plastic" (or skip the bag, If I need a bag to hold a roll of film while I walk to the car I shouldn't be shopping), "cash or credit", "credit or debit", "would you like fries with that", and "your call is important to us". You're on the wrong boat. Jose -- Quantum Mechanics is like this: God =does= play dice with the universe, except there's no God, and there's no dice.

There is no incentive for non-English speaking people (legal or
illegal) to learn English if everything they need is available in their native language. There's no incentive for Americans to learn anything anymore.

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:nJRPe.285478$_o.259735@attbi_s71... This is AMERICA, and the language here is ENGLISH -- and I shouldn't have to TELL THEM THAT. It's insane, but it's the law -- and there's apparently nothing we can do to change it. It could be changed if the U.S. had an OFFICIAL language. Until the US makes a law saying that English (or whatever) is the official language, the gov'ment will still print IRS forms, census forms, etc., in several languages. There is no incentive for non-English speaking people (legal or illegal) to learn English if everything they need is available in their native language. The only languages they are printed in is English and Spanish -- are you aware of other languages? |

@news.uswest.net: Snipola The only languages they are printed in is English and Spanish -- are you aware of other languages? Don't know about those specific forms, but the backside of my utility bills have help information in no less than five languages besides english. The last time I was at my local DMV the signs were in about as many languages and IIRC, you could take the driving test in about a dozen different languages. As for language on the ATM's, they keep 'redesigning' the layout. Every couple months you have to pause and search for the appropriate button for your language choice because they keep moving the menu selections around 'to help serve you better'. So far in my area it's only two choices. Considering the number of languages spoken around here, it won't be long before it's more. Actually, you have to pause and search for every button choice because they keep moving them around. So it's not just the language button that's a problem on the ATM's.

Can you site the percentage of the US economy that interacts with illegal labor? Illegal labor is a much bigger problem than people realize. If the government says the number is 5 million, then the number is 25 million!! Mexicans are EVERYWHERE. MOST are illegal. The US immigration system has imploded on its bureaucratic self. This country has built up an infrastructure over 150 years. Millions of Mexicans have invaded the US to get a piece of that infrastructure. Booty isn't always hauled away by an invading army.

My heart bleeds.... Please, what's really going on here is that the employer (farmer, grower, whatever) was too cheap to hire more labor to come in and finish the job. I believe many employers do this intentionally to protest the cut-off of their cheap labor supply. Exactly... and most Americans are too cheap to pay what it would REALLY cost to buy food, a home or most other things (except automobiles) if real actual citizens did the work and got paid a fair wage for the work. LAbor is just at the bottom of the food chain... Govenment is at the top.. it sucks at all the money from everyone's pockets from the laborer to the larges corporations, their stockholders (lots of retired people) and the CEOs. |
