[quote=4plexowner]we also coddle immigrants in this country at taxpayer expense

LA schools provide translators for a ridiculous number of languages – govt forms and instructions are printed in multiple languages – at least one of the cities in Florida was printing forms and instructions in 6 languages!

in case anyone is unclear, this is America and we speak English – adapt or get the F out

if I came to your country with the intent of settling down, I wouldn’t expect you to teach my children and I your language much less provide translators while we learned[/quote]

ah, the bigotry comes out in times of economic crisis. translators are generally provided under a theory of equal access. It is abused but it is often legitimately necessary. Immigrants built this country (lots of first generation Irish and Italian built roads under the New Deal programs-and let’s not forget the Chinese and the transcontinental railroad and the hardships they suffered). Is that preferable to teaching English as a second language to Somalian refugees who now call America home?
