Principal Delivers Graduation Speech In Spanish

[Si modo]

That federal provision is for Naturalizartion and has nothing to do with natural born citizens... There is no federal law establishing a National language. In fact, both English and Spanish can be offical languages of the US.

But, that's not what s/he said. English, rudimentary as it is, IS required for citizenship.

correct...for Naturalization. Lets be clear.

Aaaaaand, naturalization makes one a __________?


It's not a hard question.

English is not the offical language of the US of A.

What has it been changed too?

it was never changed. There is no federal law recognizing the use of English as the offical language of the US of A.

Common sense requires no federal law. If it did then damn near every liberal would be in violation.

Let me tell you something you probably don't know if you've never been to Mexico, Gravity.

In almost every mexican town or village you find upper-class residences, in the middle of poor, rundown neighborhoods. The constrast is so stark that you can't help asking a local resident who lives there (if you don't know the answer already).

The answer is invariably the same. The guy lived in America for a few years, worked his/her ass off, earned a lot of money and then came back to Mexico and built the "mansion" for his family.

So you are absolutely right. Not every Mexican wants to live in America. I personaly know a hell of a lot of people who just want to make some bucks to fulfill their lifelong dreams (house, marriage, school, business, etc, etc, etc...)

You don't need to speak english like Queen Elisabeth II to flip burgers for a few years in America, specially when you live in a place that already has a huge mexican/hispanic community.

I had rented property in Mexico for almost ten years, I finally gave it up when the cartel started killing off the local police.

Wow! is English a pre requisite for citizenship?

in a word YES

That federal provision is for Naturalizartion and has nothing to do with natural born citizens... There is no federal law establishing a National language. In fact, both English and Spanish can be offical languages of the US.

In what language is the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and every other historical and present day governmental document written in?


I'll give you a hint, it's not spanish!

 

[Spoonman]

La estupidez en este hilo es grueso.

si usted piensa es malo ahora, nos dejo agrega la religion a la discusion

¡Lo sé! Imagínese si el director había pronunciado una oración en español!

Un perno de relampago del cielo lo pegaria para tragar.

para el ingles, presione uno por favor

 

[Spoonman]

By "immigration reform" do you mean amnesty?

Hell no. No free ride. Just reform and part of that reform will have to take into consideration that we have so many illegals here already. Handling that is a big consideration. Pragmatism is needed.

How would you handle those who are here? Amnesty?

a free trip back to mexico

Back when our country was new, there was a discussion as to what should be our language. They knew we should have ONE language. Dutch was in the running, but our founding father's decided on English. Don't know if they wrote it into law or not, but I believe it was their intent at that time that our country become an English speaking nation, which happened. Changing it now is not a good thing and destroys much of what our founding fathers tried to do which was unite our country, not divide it. Spanish wasn't even considered at that time and now you are saying that we should be a Spanish speaking nation? Why? Sorry, but even mentioning that is only going to cause division and a lot of resentment towards our Spanish speaking immigrants.

As to having two official languages, why not have English and Japanese? Or French and German? Or Hebrew and Thai? Why do you believe the Hispanic immigrants deserve special rights that no other immigrant has ever had before in history?

I bet the Apaches felt the same as you do.

I'm sure they did, for their nation, but this isn't their nation. This is ours. The United States of America, believe it or not, was founded by Europeans. They took the land from the Indians and they kept it. Get over it, it's been hundreds of years now. Our nation is the most diverse in the world, not a bad thing, but we all need to speak one language or we will become divided and fall.

He congratulated the students in both English and Spanish. So what?

So why not Thai, or don't the parent's who are Thai deserve the same courtesy as those who are Hispanic?

How about Japanese? German? Italian?

Unless this school was a bilingual school, designed to teach kids TWO languages equally, then it was inappropriate. Leaving out the American parents and children while speaking to those who aren't American (and you have to learn English to become a citizen) is insulting.

English is not the offical language of the US of A.

But......it IS in 27 states! If this is one of those 27, the people are too cowardly to abide by it.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Does anyone else notice that in every thread where liberals get their ass handed to them, they abandon the thread?

Actually English IS our official language. It may not have been put into a law, but congress discussed it and decided to go with English. Dutch was a close second.
