Why is an immigrant in America hired for a job dealing with Americans when she can’t speak English, and a native-born American is NOT hired because she can’t speak Spanish?So you weren't harmed in any way. Got it.
It USED to be everyone’s experience, and you know why? Because school was taught in English.That you would generalize your experience as everyone's experience was his point.
Lisa, I adore you, but you're doing what demofks like to do, you are taking something and making it everything. Yes, English has always been taught in america schools. But it doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with bilingual objectives in homes of immigrants. Just doesn't. There are many factors that would come into play. Grandparents living with families of immigrants happened, all, fk if I know. I won't generalize to everyone. avoid making the generalization.It USED to be everyone’s experience, and you know why?

maybe you've an explanation why Trump has captured the black vote IM2?And this kind of incompetant "leadership" is what y ou wantto go back to?
I’ll agree to disagreeI like you too.
But the poster said it took two or three generations until English becomes the primary language spoken in the house. All it takes is ONE, or was until we started having to speak to immigrants in THEIR foreign language.
Immigrant generation: Speaks the foreign language, and learns basic English in order to be able to survive in this country. (How it used to be, which was good.)
1st Generation: Speaks English fluently, learned within a few months, if the immigrant parents speaks the foreign language at home. 1st Generation grows up and forms own household, speaking English exclusively.
The poster said it require two or three generations. If so, that’s because that family chose that way. Their choice. Doesn’t mean it HAS to.
In addition to clinging to false family myths, you also apparently don't know how demographers consider "generations" of immigrant families.....
ONE generation.
OK….lets leave it at that.I’ll agree to disagree
You don't know if that waitress "can't speak English" (quite the contrary), or that anyone else lost out on the job (for any reason) because she was hired.Why is an immigrant in America hired for a job dealing with Americans when she can’t speak English, and a native-born American is NOT hired because she can’t speak Spanish? ....?
That is not true. You are bitter and ignorant..... immigrants won’t learn English?
It was NO ONE'S experience.It USED to be everyone’s experience ....
Because that is reality.... the poster said it took two or three generations until English becomes the primary language spoken in the house. ....
We never started that. Get control of your fear and insecurity..... until we started having to speak to immigrants in THEIR foreign language.
....
Wish we could go back to tracking the way things were when I was a kid. As things stand now, the ones losing out are the bright ones.

Why should Americans miss out on job opportunities because immigrants won’t learn English?
you're talking to one UnkotareIn addition to clinging to false family myths, you also apparently don't know how demographers consider "generations" of immigrant families.
No, it was a multitude of usIt was NO ONE'S experience.
Of course she couldn’t. She addressed me in Spanish, I told her I spoke English (expecting her to switch over), and she had to find the English-speaking waitress. That is unacceptable in an American restaurant, in a big East Coast city.You don't know if that waitress "can't speak English" (quite the contrary), or that anyone else lost out on the job (for any reason) because she was hired.
