There is no law stating that you must speak and write English...would you rather there be one?

Yes.

Obviously you've never been to California or Southern Phoenix.

Ban low riders and the immigration thing will resolve itself

[Ace2cool]

Funny thing is, THAT IS A LAW! It's part of the basic immigration procedures. You MUST pass a literacy exam before you can become a naturalized citizen of the United States. Yet there are billboards that have ONLY SPANISH on them 3 miles down the road from where I sit typing this message right now. Burger King's soda machine has a banner that is in only Spanish. It's getting ridiculous, and is pissing me off.

Why does it piss you off...that other people and companies have the right to speak whatever language they choose? How is this affecting you in a negative way? There is no law stating that you must speak and write English...would you rather there be one?

Yes, I would there rather be one. Oh wait, there is one. The Immigration Act of 1917 overruled prior presidential vetoes against mandating English literacy tests as a part of the immigration process. The act was later modified by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which didn't modify the existing prerequisite of a literacy test.

THAT'S what's pissing me off about this. If everyone here had a basic understanding of the English language, we wouldn't have to cater to people who don't speak a single word of English. You wanna come live in the United States? That's cool. Pass the literacy test. Oh, you can't speak English? GTFO.

The part that's bugging me about the companies using Spanish on the billboards and in the stores with no English alternatives, is that they're broadcasting a message to the illegals, "HEY! It's OK to be an illegal! We don't care if you're breaking the law and taking advantage of our public school systems without paying taxes! We'll just cater to your EVERY EFFING NEED so that YOU can have a higher quality of life, since your country is s***!"

That's why they came here, isn't it? Because Mexico's economy sucks? Because of the drug wars? Because of the violence? Of just because they can mooch off the system and not have to give anything back, since they don't have a social security number?

Yep, you went and got me on a tangent.

Maybe March is Latin American History Month?

why didn't they have special jerseys in February then?

oooooohhhh yeahh.....

this. call me a bad latino, but the fact that march is latin american history month means nothing to me. i am well aware of some of the major impacts latinos have made to current america, but you know what i call it? AMERICAN history. and i recognize that s*** every day, not 1/12th of the year. things like latin american history month and black history month do nothing but continue to keep americans of different races segregated from each other.

Anyone else think it's funny that the jerseys are in Spanglish? Half English, Half Spanish.

that's so most viewers wouldn't be too confused. can you imagine landing on a channel and seeing "el calor" vs. "los cohetes" (heat vs. rockets)?

[AppleBonker]

cohetes rojos?
