Conservative Daily – by Joe Otto
We live in the United States of America… I feel the urge to start with that statement because everyday, this country looks less and less like the one that I grew up in.
While the standard language in this country is English, we have always been aware that immigrants would come here only being able to speak their native tongue.
At times, we have been overly generous and have allowed for government documents to be translated in order to ease the transition for people just coming to this country. But there is still the need for immigrants to learn English.
That is how it has always been. People come here and are forced to learn English if they want to succeed and earn a living. I am hard-pressed to think of a way to make it in this country without first learning English.
We all know what is going on at the Southern border, with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants attempting to take advantage of our generosity and gain legal residency here as “refugees.” Even the Democrats have begun calling them refugees instead of illegal aliens. These people aren’t coming here with the goal of assimilating into our culture. They are coming here with the warped belief that they deserve assistance because of the sheer fact that they exist. You and I know that is completely ridiculous!
However, a story broke just before the July 4th holiday that absolutely got my blood boiling…
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency within the Obama administration, is suing a Wisconsin plastics company because – you might want to sit down for this – the company fired employees who don’t know how to speak English.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” The Obama administration, however, is attempting to rewrite a law drafted FIFTY years ago to include “language” as a protected characteristic.
This is what the Obama White House does best: if it doesn’t like a law, instead of going through Congress, the President just has his underlings rewrite it all together!
If someone comes to this country, they should learn English. There is no mandate that they be forced to speak English, but if they have any hope of succeeding and earning a living, learning English is a must.
Instead of protecting businesses and helping them actually turn a profit in this horrific economy, the Obama administration is going after companies to force them to employ people who can’t speak any English!
This President is doing everything in his power to fundamentally transform the United States of America. You see the “fruits” of this labor every day.
I fully support LEGAL immigration and if an immigrant refuses to learn English, that is completely fine… no one is forcing them to.
But I will be damned if I, as a business owner, will be forced to hire and employ someone who can’t physically communicate with me! This country’s primary language is English, and if immigrants want to get a job and provide for their families, they should get to work learning how to communicate.
This lawsuit represents just a microcosm of everything that is wrong with Obama’s America. First, the Democrats argue that everyone has the right to come to the United States of America. Now, this White House is actually trying to force businesses to employ people who can’t speak a lick of English!
How can a business owner possibly be FORCED to communicate with an employee who never bothered to learn English? How can employees possibly be expected to work safely in an industrial plastics company if they can’t communicate with one another?
To top it all off, the administration is basing this lawsuit off of a ridiculous reinterpretation and rewrite of the Civil Rights Act. We see this time and time again with the Pres. Barack H. Obama employing executive orders and bureaucratic regulations to implement his social justice programs… This is just more government overreach from a President who never worked a real job in his entire life!
English might not be necessary to be a “community organizer,” but in the real world, competency in English is required!
I am tired of this administration pushing idealistic and politically correct policies on American businesses!
I am tired of this out of control government literally regulating companies out of business!
It is time to get the Obama White House OUT of our wallets and stop this administration from forcing businesses to comply with their ridiculous, politically correct standards!
Saddened by the state of my country,
Joe Otto

“If You Won’t Learn English, Why Are You Here?”
Free stuff.
Hahaha! Yep. You hit the nail on the head, #1.
And they say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, NC.
Hey, “It’s a free country”….for illegals and foreign invaders. It’s called plundering.
No need to speak English if you speak spanish.
If you speak any other language you must learn English. One more example of liberal catering to special interests groups over the interests of the USA.
Unfortunately, the reverse is not true.
Gettin’ to the point where we’ll need to learn Spanish just to order fast food here (something I VERY rarely do anyway, but that’s not the point).
Believe me, living in Texaco, I know what you mean. I don’t even feel like I’m living in America anymore. I got more people asking me if I speak Spanish than English. WTF?
When all else fails, use the universal language to communicate with these foreign invaders…

No misunderstanding here.
OMG! More Mexican people moving into my apartment complex right now and they can’t even speak English. It’s an INVASION, I TELL YA!!
Think you got it bad?
Where I am right now, there are 5 Asians, 7 Mexicans, 5 blacks, and 3 white persons (myself included).
There is NO WAY they can claim any longer that whites are a majority in this country.
We should all apply for minority status. It would be legitimate.
Hey, I’m gonna try the affirmative action approach and see how that works out for me. lol
It’s all right here, NC:

Yea, Peter Sutherland is another one on my shit list who needs to be hung. They say he’s the one who is going to be in charge of the UN troops if they come in full force.
Once again, I reiterate:
President Teddy Roosevelt;
“Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile.
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Maybe the people should send that to Congress along with their petition. Most likely won’t change anything, but it gives a more added emphasis.
To refer to these people as “Illegal Immigrants” totally misses the point. These are foreign nationals who have invaded the United States for the purpose of destroying our laws, our customs, our freedoms, and replacing them with theirs. This is an invasion by a foreign nation and if we don’t stop it, we will lose by default. The fact that they are not armed does not matter. The end result is the same, whether or not they are armed. We will be a conquered people with none of our rights, culture, customs, language, or history remaining. We will give it away without firing a shot.
Round them up and throw them out. Do you think a blue bird would
permit a black bird invading its nest much less its territory. No.

My family could understand english may not speek it will then .But we did not fail to imporve .So whats this problem with them now .Time to get it together you import want to beess..Getter Done…
Logically speaking how can any employer or boss tell non speaking English people what to do. I had an experience with that in Alcapulco, Mexico on a vacation. I speak only English and I was just visiting this area mind you not immigrating. However, I was in a big department store and needed to use the bathroom. I had no idea where it was, I had looked for it but did not see it. I approached a clerk to ask where it was. She not only didnt speak English but didnt understand it either. What a dilemma, so I had to think fast this was something that was going to create a problem very soon.
Thinking fast on my feet I squated and made a “ssssssssss” sound and she got it. She took me to the restroom. Whew.
The point is how can anyone communicate under these conditions playing Charades.
