Which is BS because they understand English just fine. Watch as the screw up your order because they simply don't care enough to get it right. Amazingly if a Hispanic person orders an even more elaborate order they have no problem getting theirs right. Hell it will even come with some free stuff too half the time. Watch as somebody who is Hispanic gets their order before you even though you both ordered the same thing and you ordered first. Now tell me they aren't being not only racist but also are showing contempt for america and its culture by purposely being incompetent when ever a no. Hispanic orders there. Explain to me why I have to be bilingual to work there. It they don't all they need to speak is Spanish.
And don't think I'm singling out a McDonalds from a purely Hispanic area of la. Im talking about the McDonald in Brentwood!

So you don't feel our gov. has done everything short of sending out open invitations with such things as work furloughs. And could you stop being so obscenely over the top in your posts. ? Not that you're succeeding in your attempts at making me look like a jerk. But more because you're not.
just because instead of the immigrants conforming to our culture we are forced to conform to theirs
Forced ? Forced by who ?edit on 24-9-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
I said almost the same thing on page 2 of this post. I am thinking of taking Spanish to surprise the heck out of them, especially if they're talking about me!

Good to see you so prolific on one of my threads Night. I heard this some years ago, that the PTB are trying to bring the world to oneness and that includes one language. Guess what language ?edit on 24-9-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

no problem. generally speaking, people are relatively clueless.
here's another.
in az and n.m., illegals really have no fear of repercussions.
it is very common to see an illegal get out of an escalade or brand new 4+4.
how do they afford these vehicles?
it sure ain't picking fruit.
there is almost a uniform these guys wear.
cowboy hat, very pointy cowboy boots, and the kicker.
a leather vest with a big marijuana leaf patch on the back.
like i mentioned, they do this with no fear, even if caught they spend a week in jail, are sentenced to time served and then released.
they bring in thousands a week, if not much much more.
they have plenty of money for lawyers if caught, and really don't sweat it.
the government really does not think twice about an illegal purchasing a house worth a couple hundred thousand,
purchasing expensive vehicles etc.
in many ways the gov. and the banks both encourage it.

And this drives up the costs for Americans who cannot afford the inflation is a vicious cycle...we are being phased out why? I think it's because they are an easier to control population of people because they obviously don't stand up against the government there they sneak away here...so the US government has a pretty good idea of how far they can control them without repercussions. That's my observation.

If there is no other job available but the one where you have to speak spanish, you are being forced. That is outrageous and unacceptable, that any of us should be required to learn a foreign language to get a job in our own country. If you were dealing with interntional businesses that would be different.
All the people coming through the proper channels are expected to learn english, so if there are so many people speaking only spanish, a red flag goes up that they are illegal.
And...because the numbers of illegal invaders who absolutely refuse to speak english are so high, now we need translators. So if you are a nurse or secretary or whatever, one who is bilingual will get that job first. If you work in a factory or a McDonalds or wherever and most of their employees speak spanish, you now have to be bilingual.
I don't know about anyone else, but I suck at learning a foreign language and could pick up many words and greetings but never carry a conversation. The last thing I would do is move to a foreign country where they don't speak english.

The idea of this thread is such a fail. Look around you and see how well immigrants are treated in this country.
