Profiting from someone's willful ignorance of our national language is pandering. Profiting from their disregard for immigration law is even worse.
Just look outside. Bilingual bus stops, bilingual bathrooms, bilingual education, bilingual ballots, bilingual everything under the sun. My family didn't need such special treatment. Hispanics are no less capable. The equal protection clause should prevent Hispanics would being treated differently from other ethnic groups.
I gave you a whole big raft of data, with charts and everything.
But isn't that what capitalism is all about? Profit?
And if Latin American immigrants began to learn English, then they might actually learn they have rights.
Let's face it: quite a few of the moneyed elite would rather that not happen. And herein lies the schizophrenia of the Right in addressing illegal immigration.
It's not that simple!
If you've ever had to learn a foreign language, you know that it isn't as simple as waving a magic wand and instantly learning english. It takes time, effort, and practice.
You say that potato chip bags are quote-unquote "pandering" to immigrants by displaying multiple languages. I think you need to get over it. Until immigrants learn our language, I don't see any harm in multi language potato chip bags.
That is simply not true. There have always been immigrants that have stuck to their original language.Learn English or get out. It's worked for most of our nation's history.
If you are undocumented, we have no way of knowing. That's the whole point that liberals and corporatists willfully disregard.
That is simply not true. There have always been immigrants that have stuck to their original language.
I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it's nothing new and nothing to get upset about. In Mexico there are literal American towns where expatriates and vacationers live. Mexicans in these areas "pander" to these Americans by speaking english so that they get their business.

Why would you assume I was a criminal just because I violated a civil statute to work and feed my family. I guess those liberals still believe in innocent until proven guilty.
You can't become a citizen without learning English.

Please stop evading the point like a political partisan. Unless you have papers, I have no way of knowing whether you are a criminal. Are all immigrants criminals? Of course not. I have a right to protect myself from liberal activism.
Por favor parada que evade el punto como un partidario político. A menos que usted tenga papeles, yo no tengo manera de saber si usted es un criminal. ¿Son todos criminales de inmigrantes? Claro que no. Tengo un derecho de protegerse de la activismo liberal.
It's good that they require English.. but the level of English required isn't really that high, nor do all immigrants get citizenship... there are probably hundreds of thousands of green card holders in the US... many of whom will never apply for citizenship.
Having papers doesn't prove I'm not a criminal... the vast majority of criminals in this nation are citizens.

Even green card holders learn English. Hispanics don't need nor deserve special treatment.
Gracias.
As I've said before, businessmen and politicians should be subject to the same laws as everyone else.
I don't think anyone is saying they should get special treatment... I want them to be treated the same as my ancestors were treated when they immigrated from Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Many do learn English, and that's good for them... it means they will have a lot more opportunity, than if they didn't.
Please stop evading the point like a political partisan.
What if the law is just dumb?
Unless you have papers, I have no way of knowing whether you are a criminal.

If I'm not mistaken, it's against the law to live in this country without learning the language. Please correct me otherwise.
