Debate on Spanish speakers refusing to learn English! 7of7

[thelastofthevalerius]

As an argentinian I'll say that if you are living in a country wich language is english, you have the obligation of learning it, even a basic. Example: here are a lot of chinese markets and they have to learn spanish, is like them (living in my country) tell me that i have to learn chinese...i'd feel ofended. Besides english is a beautiful and easy language. You can keep spanish for home or another spanish people, but have to learn english too.

Maybe they don't want him earning money illegally and taking back to another country!!

And I believe that English should be the language of the U.S. I'm sick to death of having to press 1 for English!!

[TokyoDesigns]

First off, ILLEGAL immigrants, not legal Immigrants.Don't be a moron and turn this into a racial issue, because it is not. There is a difference. I lost a really good paying job to my employer hiring Illegals. Laziness has nothing to do with it, it is a matter of greedy Corporations cutting corners by hiring Illegals.And btw, many Illegals I worked with had stolen I.Ds and fake SS numbers. My ex employer laid off 90% of his American work force to hire Illegals .That is why I hate Illegals.

[iq1501]

you know there is a likely hood that his employers did not care if he was a illegal citizen or not. and if a teenager wanted that job he should of jumped on it before he did. When Americans say that immigrants are "stealing" jobs from us. Maybe if some Americans were to of gotten off their asses and actually of made an effort to get a job then maybe they wouldn't have immigrants "stealing jobs. Also he earned that money by working, they should of just taken the money he owed to taxes not all.

[garybsg]

It's about time we treat Hispanics like regular Americans and have the government steal their income too. Liberalism at work.

[Yuri92001]

@garybsg Hehe I like this comment :P

[scangelalala]

No, he didn't gain his money illegally idiot. He WORKED for it. He provided services of washing dishes for ten years to save his money. Therefore, it is HIS money. And, of course he paid taxes! he pays taxes everytime he gets a pay check, every time he buys goods, and food (depending on what state and where he buys it) so he pays fucking taxes. People in the US are so fucking lazy and retarded it is unreal.

[maquereau319]

Wow, that guy washed dishes and was able to SAVE money, while the white collar Americans that claim he doesn't deserve it are having their homes foreclosed and declare bankruptcy because they spend more than their middle class incomes allow

[VegasLady1970]

Not to mention if you want to live in this country, do it the legal way, and your money is yours to keep, I’m sure he paid no taxes on this money he saved, take his money, and send his ass back to his own country. These illegal’s want a good life, yet they start that life by committing a crime, living in a country illegally.

[iq1501]

I love it how people say he earned the money illegally. he didn't sell drugs to get his money he washed dishes. he is an illegal immigrant, not a drug cartel. He's just a guy who wants a better life

[grendel1013]

@iq1501

Yeah, and he probably stole someones Social Security number, or I.D to get that job. That is stealing. And he is doing a job a teenage U.S citizen could be doing, so yeah, that is stealing too.

[iq1501]

[akosigundam]

Goddamit, why the fuck do these yanks pronounce Spanish words with a glide? It's not Pey-drow, it's Peh-droh!!!

[killa524]

i really dont like the idea of illegal immgrants but the guy should get his money back i mean i would wanna shoot myself in the face if that happened to me ;D

[favm360]

Look at Canada they speak 2 languages and they are perfectly fine. I bet that if it were French or Italian, no one would have a problem. But no, it's language speaking by brown people. Grow up! America is nation full of phobias.

[goldendoomer]

the money stays...the criminal illegal goes! he should be glad china or iran is not his neighbor to the north. get it?

[netuber12]

yep should have never got the money. Hell no that nigga shouldnt get a penny. El debia haber estado en su pais. el es un crminal. si el salio con el dinero. bueno para el pero si no entonces,no fue su destino. el obtuvo el dinero en una mala manera.

[CONTRAVIDAA]

pedro, pedro, pedro...u have to learn how gringos enjoy the rules....pedro # 1 u need to know gringos love easy money,# 2 gringos are jaleous coz imigrants grow up population, # 3 gringos get crazy coz US country will be control it by hispanics.

[88donja]

@CONTRAVIDAA Then it will fail simple... just look at Mexico!

[koolkari08]

He can't open a bank account. You need a social security number to do so. People seem to be so against Hispanics and Latinos and yet they get pleasure out of our culture. You'll accept eating tacos, dancing salsa, or idolizing Antonio Banderas, etc. Yet you won't accept the people. There are a lot of prominent Hispanic/Latino figures in our society. America is full of ignorance, and culturally deprived people.

[Xenda]

Why didn't Pedro open up a Bank account? If he had he could have avoided this problem to begin with.

[goldendoomer]

once again...the CABLE NIGGER NETWORK is going out on the left. does anyone even care that he is taking our AMERICAN DOLLARS back to his stinking scourge of a country? how many dollars do we have to send to south american scroungers?

[valeriafoo]

@goldendoomer look puto first of all its not like he stole all that money from a bank or in drug deals or any of that shit he washed dishes and he earned that money so he shud be able to do whatever he wants wit it

besides american tourist always spend american dollars in other countries i dont see u getting mad at them for taking dollars over there

[TrashcanMan76]

@valeriafoo there is a difference between earning and spending money earned legally and money earned illegally, getting a job without being able to do so legally makes the money he earned gained illegally through fraud.

[argkor2008]

pobre guatemalteco,...

[isaacsenglish]

did the english settlers assimilate when they came to this country? NO

Why is there no talk about the business that hired this guy? because wee are BIASED So here is a guy who worked his heart out commited no crime, only an administrative violation( like a traffic ticket)

was returning willingly to his country and now we are stealing his money!

we stole their land, their heritage,their language , why not their money? we're just common thieves! remember the german gestappo acted legally!

[noybf]

Look at Belgium, they have 3 national languages, French, Dutch and German and their country is falling apart based on the cultural and language differences. There are even talks of splitting up the country. Countries that are multilingual simply don't work, there must be something that binds a country together and for America it is English!

[pierusa123]

@noybf Good point. I understand U.S. have many races and will hear different languages used and heard. But I agree what you said, American English should be the only official language. If we include Spanish, why not INCLUDE French, German, Japanese ... as well in order to be fair. Encourage people use Spanish of course will attract more illegal immigrants cross the border. It will divide the country.

[SaimDI]

@noybf There are plenty of monolingual countries which are doing badly (El Salvador, Bangladesh) and plenty of multilingual countries doing well (Singapore, Canada, Switzerland). The reason there are so many problems is because Dutch speaking Flemings were disadvantaged in Belgium and even lost their historical capital of Brussels to Francization... it's not multiple languages alone that's the problem. Switzerland is a comparable country with no such issues.

[SekyinB]

@noybf What about Switzerland? They have four languages and they have been one of the most successful countries in the world.

[noybf]

@SekyinB True but they want to be united together. By not learning English, one could imply that they don't want to assimilate and learn our culture. Hence the need to have English as the only official language so we can have something in common.

[SekyinB]

@noybf What do you mean by making English the only official? stop government servicing in Spanish? limiting the use of Spanish in public and education? Official language is just a name. Being "official" itself doesn't mean anything. Irish is the first official language of Ireland by constitution but now one uses it. If you really wanna tackle the issue, you gotta come up with something more concrete than a slogan like "English only"

[noybf]

@SekyinB Irish is not a widely used language because it was forbidden by the English. The last person in my family to speak it fluently were my great grandparents. My grandparents knew some Irish but never became fluent. My dad and I barely know any Irish other than a few words. Anyways my point being, using "English only" is not just a slogan, it symbolizes culture, a shared history. We need to have that as a country, otherwise we won't have one.

[noybf]

@noybf I don't claim that I know how to solve this issue but I feel this is a good place to start.

[TrashcanMan76]

No this Illegal "immigrant" should not get the money back it was gained illegally, the same way Drug Dealers gain thier money illegally. The government has the resposibilty to make sure people are not making illegal financial gains.

[valeriafoo]

@TrashcanMan76 ur a fucken asshole and a raceist piece of shit if u think that was right thing to do

[TrashcanMan76]

@valeriafoo where did I say anything about his race? Your baseless attack on me shows your ignorance and hate.

[netuber12]

@TrashcanMan76 thats whats up

[RRNYC1998]

Hispanics do not assimilate. They want to force us to learn their language is criminal culture

[Doliath]

Learn to compose coherent sentences in your own native tongue before you start criticizing... A famous quote about glass houses comes to mind.

[ChiquitoALtlv]

todos estos norteamericanos son tan idiotas por lo menos segun los votos que asco .

[KrtNeo]

ah your 1 of those dirty aliens go the hell home before we kill you and send you home in a bodybag

[JohannaMJ]

No estoy de acuerdo contigo. Si se trata de votos, pues los latinos tenemos record en idiotez. Si se trata de analizar por los votos no podemos decir que seamos muy inteligentes tampoco, mira nuestros lideres: Chavez, Ortega, Evo, Rafael Correa, Cristina, Eso si da asco.

[ibilldavis]

[ibilldavis]

Xenophobic, and proud of it.

[ibilldavis]

[ibilldavis]

Foreigners are the root of all evil.

[semeamaneceotravez]

Ha you are very confused. There's a word for what you said.. hmm... OH YEAH!!! Xenophobia.

In all seriousness, educate yourself, because you should very well know, that the US is the root of all evil in today's world.
