We, the Legal American workers of the USA, need to stand together NOW, to keep English as our only native language.
Foreigners are saturating the USA & are slowly trying to modify our national language to include Spanish, so it will be easier for them to live & work in this country.
Qualified US citizens who need to support their families are being refused employment in their own country because they don't speak Spanish. This is happening on a daily basis. The unemployment rate is up and the government offices are making suggestions that we learn Spanish so we can get jobs.
This is wrong & something needs to be done. If we do nothing, in 10 years we will all need to know Spanish and have to push 2 to hear it in English! Please help stop the madness before it goes any farther.
We can not allow any modification of our national language.
We need stronger laws which require resident & citizen applicants to learn English in order to live & work in the USA. If not, than these companies that deal with non speaking English patrons, need to hire an interpreter and pay them what the average interpreter makes. To force the “legal” US citizen to speak a new language is Discrimination based on language.
We need new laws created to protect the English speaking citizens of the USA from any discrimination (like employment, housing, etc.)
Amnesty should only be given if the parties are willing to learn English and help change their family members coming over or who are already here.

We would like to thank Verizon Wireless for taking the first steps in realizing that we shouldn’t have to push one for English, it should be a given.
If you agree, take a stand & sign the petition.

These figures are available at the following address:...money.cnn.com/pf/fe atures/lists/state_unemploymen t/index.html... besides, there isn't anything you want that can't be had if you only know english. Hell, even I can give the landscaper instructions in spanish and I don't mind a bit.... BFD. Puedo hablar espanol a veces quando necessiario. Wendy, you are too young to be such a negative person. Lighten up and enjoy life.
Easy for YOU to say. You didn't have KIN who lost a job due to an illegal taking their place!

By the way, the unemployment rate figures are artificial and reflect those jobs being lost to illegals.

I will NEVER hire an illegal to do anything for me; I can LANDSCAPE myself.

"Native language English", thats a riot!
You being from Arizona should know better.
SOME people need to WAKE UP AND JOIN THE 21st century!! English is NOT the 'native tongue' unless you take for granted that people BORN here of legal citizen parentage speak English. Nonethe less it IS the prevailing language of the country and it is time people who wish to work together realize that.

You people want to play that multilingual game, then have the courtesy to level the playing field: also demand that things be done in EVERY KNOWN LANGUAGE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. THAT is equality, my friends. And enjoy the chaos that will result from it.

Genesis 11
The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar [b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c]—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Yeah. You and I know that; but SOME people don't want to hear it. They have to find out the hard way.

It is? Hmm. You ever been in a Control Tower? Ever been in one in a foreign country? I rarely heard English in those control towers and the controllers were talking to pilots...unless I'm mistaken there.

I dont' think people in America "NEED" to learn English if they don't want to. The first amendment says we have the freedom of speech. We can speak whatever language we want...right? Besides, not even our president can speak English correctly. Why should we expect more from our immigrants?

I agree with you.. When its all said and done, this is America and we have chosen to speak english... I do not like it when our children are forced to take Spanish courses but they neglect to teach them the correct English.. I agree that the different races teach the language and customs of their ancestry but that should be a secondary one... And you should have the courtesy to speak the language of the country that you have chosen to live in...

<quoted text> That's the example I was trying to get across,,The english speakers want to rule every thing ,,the FIRST Americans' were & still are NATIVE {Indian as you say} & Mexicans. Not english speaking whites. They came & took over this land as immigrants & demanded the original homeowners {Natives here}to change their language,religion,style of clothing {become as whites}and to move to tiny plots of land they didn't want for themselves.Now when the same thing is just beginning to happen to them,,who screams 'we' cant allow this to happen?? What goes around comes around.My Spanish isn't as good as I wish it was but I try to learn as I go. It wouldn't bother me if it was made the 1st. language here,,it would be interesting to see how they protest they same treatment they delt to other races for as long as they've been here.After all who died & made them the gods of this land? If they are into the bible then read where God made all the different races with each their own dialect,,,living in their own lands,where He chose to put every life He created.He didnt say 'yo, white people move on over there from where I put you & change what I created'.This topic is really designed to be against the Mexican/Spanish language,,,but they are too blind to see what history they made is coming back at them.Can dish it out but cant take it.......
Your god is a fictional character.

Your English is not good, either. You should not engage in any discussion about proper language; look at the way you type a post. What a mess.

Yeah, and they've been threatening us with stupid statements like: "Who's going to make your burritos?"

If you are in America ILLEGALLY, you are a criminal, so get the hell out.

If you intend on staying in America, learn ENGLISH.

What kind of response do expect after statements like that? First of all you don't run this country. Even if you vote, you still don't run sh!t. You can make all the demands you want, but at the end of the day these "criminals" will still be here working their asses off for their pennies in whatever profession they can. Making demands for aliens to learn ENGLISH will get you nowhere. Can you tell me what the official language of the United States is? Can you? Take a guess, it's not English...there is NO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. Now, as a sworn protector of the US, I take that as a right to speak Martian if I wanted to. It won't get me anywhere, but if that was my choice, so be it.
You know, I really think that this whole "illegal alien" thing, learn English thing, put up a fence thing is really all about "threat". Not a terrorist threat, but many White Americans feel threatened feel threatened by the change the Latin community is bringing to America. Why else is this such an important issue now? Why in 2007? You see how fast the Latin population is growing lately? Hmmm. More and more people are complaining about the fact that they have to hear "Oprima el asterisco para continuar en Espanol" or something similar on the phone. I say wake up and look around you. The world changes people. Why was everything ok in the 1950's when there were "Whites Only" signs in public? Fast-forward to 2007 when America is starting to resemble a shade of brown and what do you have? You have the current talk of fence this, deport that, criminal you. F-that.
I'll leave with one more thought for you. You're shouting from Dallas Texas, eh? Aren't there all kinds of Mexicans there? Kind of supports my "Threat Theory". Why don't you see yourself to Oak Cliff and say this stuff. I'll stop now, before I get off on another tangent.
