Alabama's new immigration law

[All Else Failed]

They come here to get jobs for a better life, if there are no jobs, why come? Makes sense to me!
US citizens are leaving the country for the same reason.

Being homeless in the US is probably much better than being homeless in Mexico of all places.

Very true, but I am from the SW.

Whoops, I thought you were from Alabama for some reason. My apologies.

why not just open the gates like gordan brown did?......then americans can face the issues that we do

I wonder what Britain will look like in 50 years time?

I don't know if it's about expecting everything in spanish as some sort of entitlement or just not having the resources or need for the language. It's costly to enroll in english courses, they likely don't have the money, and no one is asking them to speak much in their labor jobs.

My wife works at a school here with third & fourth grade kids. It is amazing how often when the kids who are hispanic come to the school the child becomes an interpreter for the parents. I had a roof put on my house a few years ago. The bi-lingual guys were the foremen.

I suppose that's an individual decision. It's not easy travelling here, might not be worth the risk to some.

Ya, I remember this being the case when I was in middle school too, it was when our Chaldean population really exploded out here. The kids were to go-between.

What geet me is the fact that I can walk into a business and people could be speaking perfect english but when they see me they start speaking spanish. Thats fine that they dont want me to know what they are saying. But when I ask a question about something. They look at me like they don't understand.

Or how about this. I was in a grocery store checkout and the cashier was speaking nothing but spanish to me, and this was not a Mexican based store. I am clearly a white, white boy. That job could have went to a person who is Bilingual. Mexican or not.

I notice that in several of the restaurants here. I also notice they do that when they are in a public setting where they do not want the locals to understand what they are talking about.

Here we have a huge influx of Hispanic and Korean. The Koreans are taking all of the academic awards at the schools.

You must mean Chinese though, the Koreans aren't that smart.

A lot of the Koreans moved here when Hyundai built their plant. They take offense being called anything other than Korean.

I just said they weren't smart.

What good does it do them?

I was half way kidding anyway. Any country that aligns half itself with communists and the other half with Americans is pretty dumb, don't you think?

 

[brieze]

America and communism, is there really much of a difference....... oooh, conspiracy *jazz fingers*

Yeah, one is the right way and the other is not

 

[brieze]

Touche lol.
