Let me understand this principle. If you are an illegal immigrant/alien, you WILL NOT be held accountable for driving or working with false/fake documents. Now why does this not apply equally to legal American citizens. So if I apply for a job with a fake social security number or decide to drive without a legal license, why should I suffer at the hands of the law? Why indeed?
The Obama administration's Proposed Immigration Reform and Amnesty Bill will provide just that. More "Sweeping Change" across this once great nation. Here's a quote -
President Barack Obama"We are not going to ship back 12 million people, we're not going to do it as a practical matter. We would have to take all our law enforcement that we have available and we would have to use it and put people on buses, and rip families apart, and that's not who we are, that's not what America is about. So what I've proposed... is you say we're going to bring these folks out of the shadows. We're going to make them pay a fine, they are going to have to learn English, they are going to have to go to the back of the line...but they will have a pathway to citizenship over the course of 10 years."
Pay a fine? What - 100 pesos? Going to MAKE them(?) speak English? When was the last time you saw a sign, menu, product packaging or anything else that didn't have Spanish printed on it? Back of the line - as in the back of the bus? I thought this country had moved on from blatant racism. Guess not.
Better learn to love tequila and tacos - and soon!
I don't understand the whole "In Spanish" thing. If you're in marketing, check this out. 7% of the N.C. poplulation is "Hispanic". 7%. Now out of that group, 45% of them were born here, so you know they speak English. However, overall (based on www.pewhispanics.org) about 85% speak English. Now it may not be the best version, but they speak English none-the-less. 85%. So that leaves us 15% who don't. 15% of approximately 700,000 (say website) is 105,000 STATEWIDE. This represents .011% of the State Population of just over 9 MILLION. What kinda fool would advertise to sell something to only .011% of the population. If there's a car with 4 hispaniards driving down the road, there's a good chance 3 of them speak English. Have them interpret for the other one. Quit putting signs in Spanish. It's stupid.
ReplyDeleteI already love Tequila and tacos, but that was my Texas upbringing. How do you say Tequila and tacos in English?
