This One is Not Going to Work

If you are BORN IN THIS COUNTRY you are a citizen and under no obligation to speak any particular language. I don't know why some people are having so much trouble grasping this concept.

14th Amendment for one. Day to day functioning of the government in general.

What does the 14th Amendment have to do with languages the government is required to publish documents in for foreign language speakers? You're up to bat! Don't strike out!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I don't think it's a requirement, but it is a matter of practicality.

Why not require proficiency in either English or Spanish? Is there really a need for government forms to be printed in Swahili for citizens born in the US? They have to attend school and learn English, don't they?

Good luck then trumpanzees, next time you're at a US airport be prepared for delays as thousands of people keep stopping you and asking you where various places are because all signage is now only in English, great move Don, another big step forward for mankind.

I was once traveling through Heathrow with another group of Americans. We flew in from Edinburgh Scotland and we couldn't find the restrooms in the directory because they were not labeled in ... you guessed it! English. Since I took German in college, I had them follow me!

If you want people to understand what they are signing, agreeing to, or voting for, it helps for them to be able to read or listen to it. If police have to arrest someone they have to read them their Miranda rights. Part of that is confirming that the subject understands the rights as read to them. You can think of a hundred more examples if you think about it for a minute.

If they are voting and do not speak or read English, they have no need to vote. BTW, the police do not have translators to read you your rights. Your imagination is running away with you, teach!

If they are citizens, they still have the right to vote.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Do you want to give people documents they can't read? Do you want people voting for things they don't understand?

They should not be voting period.

Not if they can't read the ballot. That is not that hard to learn. pardon me, but your language learner bias is showing. I traveled all over Europe Africa, the Middle East and Caribbean with no language issues. If I was going to live there and vote, I would learn the language as you would also likely do.

Millions of US citizens do not speak English as their first language.

They should not be citizens if they are not somewhat proficient in the languages of English or Spanish.

Government offices in many places are staffed by multilingual people. Many private companies as well. More and more all the time.

Actually, they use translation services. I am surprised you didn't know that, but I guess you are not exposed much to the corporate world. Did you know that you cannot join the military without proficiency in English, no matter how well you speak another language, like Spanish? Our Army recruiting was only done in English and Spanish. If you only spoke another language, we were not interested. If you spoke only Spanish, there were a few exceptions where we would send recruits to remedial language schools for English, but only if they managed to score well on the ASVAB, which was in English only.

Let me state yet AGAIN that the vast majority of students taking ESL classes are US citizens born right here in the good ol' USA.

So, it's the parent's fault, right? I had students from all over the world and our ESL program was a joke. Our ESL assistants only spoke Spanish. Mine were a medical doctor and an aerospace engineer who could not work here in the states because of licensing and education issues. I would guess about 10% of my student spoke Spanish.

Just wait until Mexico decides to follow Trump's lead and define Spanish as the official language, good luck getting around Cancun Airport you retarded bastards.

Mexico cant afford to make such a disastrous move. Removing spanish in the US wont hurt us one bit. See the difference?

I suppose. But if you deal with the government, you should know English if you want to know what's going on.

And if you are educated in the schools, the official language is what you will be taught.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That sounds good, but scheduling and hiring might be tough.

That's hilarious!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You know that "if you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided for you" is part of the Miranda rights, right? You know why, right?

That had nothing to do with language because he spoke Spanish. His rights had to be read to him as a result of that decision, but not in his native language. You are confused.

Every stupid thing YOU post here is disgusting jibber-jabber.

That’s exactly what I hope all filthy pieces of dogshit globalists think of my posts.
If you EVER like a post of mine I’ll know I missed the mark by a mile.

If a suspect cannot understand their Miranda rights, they cannot be interrogated until a translator is provided. Otherwise, nothing they might say can be used against them in court.

AT&T provides the service. All it takes is a phone call. We used it frequently when AT&T had foreign employees around the world.
