On the TeeVee news today, Obama tells America to accept amnesty for illegal aliens and loss of millions of jobs:

What a dick.

Which is what the Japs pointed out on TeeVee:

Will Larry Sinclair be Obama's Lewinski?

I hadn't heard this, I won't vote for that,...if I snuck into Mexico, I'd be in jail, not working and living good. Why don't they get treated like their country would treat us. I know the answer, "cheap labor"

what a crock!

Is it really so wrong to ask that children should learn more than one language? Does saying that we need to learn to speak the language of the fastest-growing segment of our population automatically equate to capitulation and surrender of border security?

If you lived near Montreal, would you find it helpful to learn French? If you lived in Belgium, would you speak ONLY French, or ONLY German? If so, you'd be handicapped, since both are spoken there pretty frequently.

My father spoke German fluently, pretty much from birth, because that was the prevalent language of his hometown in Nebraska. His parents spoke English, of course, but his grandmother would flow from English into German during her everyday conversations.

For generations, we've DEMANDED that the rest of the world speak English. Is it wrong to SUGGEST that maybe, just maybe, it might be helpful to us to learn some Spanish? There's a very large portion of the world's population that already speaks it, and they're going to have a sizable advantage in negotiations and everyday dealings if we don't speak the language.

I guess suggesting that the intelligence services and armed services need more Arabic speakers is the same as saying that we're planning to surrender to Al Qaeda, too, right?

Funny thing is, when you go to Mexico, most of the people you deal with will at least TRY to speak English. It just makes financial sense for them to be able to speak the language of the people who are spending money in their country.

I dont' have a problem with people learning two languages. I was always wishing I knew Spanish and Chinese. The truth is, your kid is going to go far if he knew those three languages.

What I'm worried about is kids getting together and mixing languages with slang. Imagine not knowing what the hell your kids are talking about because they're always talking and texting in a half foreign language mixed with a double dose of slang.

They're plotting your demise. You can go watch the old Logan's Run again or wait till the remake comes out next year. This is how it happens

But how many, and which ones?

Here in the DC area we got Korean, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Urdu, Farsi, and Pashtan. We got various African, Asian, South and Central American indigenious languages. We got several Eastern European languages. All in addition to the ones you might learn in school; Spanish, German, Italian, French, etc. Depending on where you live, some will be more prevalent, but all may be heard. Around me it's mostly Asian languages, with various South American indigenous thrown in.

Amnesty works for me. Let's get these folks on the books and paying their share of the taxes. Once they're a part of the legitimate workforce (and subject to all the perks AND responsibilities that entails) we'll all be better off.

No. I speak English and I used to speak French. Both of my parents spoke Polish.

That's funny. My wife and I both spoke a little Spanish- when our kids were little, we would speak of things the kids weren't supposed to understand, in Espanol. Worked better than pig Latin or any of the other dodges folks use.
