Every other nation already does.

This bill goes thru without that provision so many American workers will be screwed. I've seen this happen.

Picture it. (pulling a Sophia here).

Company or Corporation hire enough labor from Taiwan. Work visas. How it starts off is that the person to be hired to oversee the crew has to be bilingual.

AND then if you want to hired on the same team you have to be bilingual as well.

Now you have your Mexican illegals. I'll guarantee you if this bill passes, bilingual will be mandated so you can "work" with the new employees.

Start learning Spanish yesterday because you are fubar'd if you don't.

You Redneck Liberals are unbelievable!

Deny the legislation because if will supposedly "cost taxpayers"?
Since when does that stop Democrats from enacting laws?

And that should deter legislation that only includes WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS?

When does you hypocrisy stop?

A distinction needs to be understood between ESL classes for adults, and programs that are part of public school systems.

"Immigration Reform" = code-speak for "Shamnesty"...

Why not? Have you ever tried to emigrate to a country and insist they cater to you in your own country's language?

Must learn English requirement in the Comp. Immg. Reform Amnesty Bill will cost taxpayers.

Why? The immigrants should be paying their own way. Visas should be given to those who already have made the effort to learn English. There are no shortage of would-be immigrants, certainly we can be a bit more selective than we have been. Someone who wants to come here should prepare themselves for life here well before applying for a visa.

You're one of those who screams for more restrictions on legal gun owners and never gives a thought to the fact that the problem lies with criminals who will continue to own guns illegally anyway, aren't you?

Only if the restrictions are in Spanish.

It has always been bilingual. Just like there has always been a movement to split Canada into two separate nations. One English speaking, one French speaking. It didn't import millions of French that would demand that French be spoken.

Right, because when Americans travel abroad they always learn the local language for where they travel.

Love to see this requirement imposed on Americans for at home too. Average American's grasp of their own language could use some improvement.

You didn't address my question at all. What relevance does your comment about people traveling abroad have to the topic of this thread?
