Fired for speaking English...

Que?
 
Thats fucked up. Something needs to be fucking done! We can not allow English to become a second language in this country!
Lets not blame the immigrants though. They should be required to speak the language before getting the Job. Don't expect them to all quit to the save the Job of the foreman. The employers should be the ones to lookout for their foremen and the ones preserving the language...

I'm ashamed to be sitting here at work in Oregon right now.

I cannot even begin to understand how in the hell something like this could even happen. Even if 1 worker speaks spanish and the other 20 speak english the crew leader must speak spanish or cannot work on that crew. How is this even American. Way to go Bush, awesome border control.

Next thing we will all have to learn how to speak Canadian. Damn you Alcatraz...

Lets not talk like morons now. Border control has nothing to do with it. You can't be an illegal alien and become a fireman for the state. Just doesn't happen.
Those guys have to be here legally. There are many permanent residents that have not mastered the language yet. Most people who come here in the late 20s and 30s take a while to learn English well enough to stake their life on it while fighting a fire in a building or a forest.

You can say "require all people learn English BEFORE the become legal" But that would mean keeping somebody illegal for years while the master the lenguage, something that is not easily done... Most of you reading this can't even fathom learning another language at this stage in your life.


I just think the dept should only hire people who can speak the language already. Bottom line!
 
You can't "require" illegals to speak any language.

That's so politically incorrect.

What you gonna do? Force them to pay for expensive english classes before getting a green card? If they fail - they get deported?

Won't work. Easier to force everyone else to deal with two languages.

My friend is developing technologies to incorporate multiple LANGUAGES on tv channels. Right now it's just subtitles and separate channels. Very inefficient. He has tons of investors. He could make a killing if he perfects it. "Seinfeld? Click here to select from 15 languages"

You know, for a minute I thought you said, "Let's not talk like Mormons now." :p

There are no illegal aliens working for the State Fire Depts... It just can't happen.
 
Pretty soon my kids will be speaking to me in another language due to having to while in school and what not and I will not have any idea what they are saying..I love it, bad enough store employees, phone reps, customer service people, etc all cannot be understood here!
 
A lot of jobs require you to speak a different language than your native tongue. However I do find it odd that the English speaker is required to speak Spanish in an English speaking country instead of the Spanish speaking workers being required to speak English. However, if they make fluency in Spanish a requirement, then so be it. If Spanish speaking is listed as a requirement for a job, then either don't apply for the job or learn Spanish. The company or government agency that is doing the hiring limits their pool of candidates for the job, but it's up to the employer to decide what the qualifications are.

I find it sort of funny that right wingers usually against the government interfering with businesses. However, when something like this happens they usually demand that the government intervene. If you want absolute freedom for business, then you must be willing to accept it when businesses do something you don't like. You can't have it both ways.

In 5 years, knowing Spanish will get you to head of the line for that job at the Fire Dept though.

It already is a VERY HIGHLY recommended prerequisite if you want a cop job in big cities.

Try joining any Govt social agency in LA not knowing spanish. Aint happening sir!

We can thank our wonderful congressmen!
 
Let's put it this way:

In my army unit they SPOKE SPANISH.

Unless you want a blanket party at night - dare not say anything.

Kind of pointless.. these guys are going to sue the fuck out of the State and they are going to win.. because any jury in the US would be completely sympathetic to their cause...
