California, New Mexico hold major political debates in Spanish

http://rt.com/usa/193944-california-newmexico-debate-spanish/

This is just mind blowing. There are so many people in New Mexico and California who refuse to learn English that the debates must be conducted in Spanish. Total bull(*)(*)(*)(*). No accommodations should be made for those who refuse to learn English. English is the language of the land. Our laws are written in English. Our traffic signs are written in English.

If you cannot speak the language, go back to the place of which you claim. No accommodations should be made.

 

I agree. When you are in America, you need to speak American !

 

This is why ESL in schools need to be dropped.

 

Nonsense. The debates did not have to be conducted in Spanish. The leftists have given up attracting American voters. They have the racists, the gays, the deadbeats, and the pedophiles so they're going for the Hispanics whether they speak English or not. I just wish we could stop them from bringing in millions of undocumented Democrats.

 

"When you're out numbered, you lose elections. When you lose elections, you lose power. When you lose power, you lose control. When you lose control, the nation is no longer yours. When the nation is no longer yours, it belongs to another. When the nation belongs to another, it starts idolizing its own people as its national heroes, not yours. It starts building monuments to them, not you. It starts putting their own faces on their currency. It starts forging its own allies, and making its own enemies." - Teutorian

Add to that list - they speak their own language, not yours.

 

WTF is all i can say. Our country has obviously failed if a Political debate is preferred in Spanish. How can anyone not see how utterly ludicrous this is?

 

no bueno por caca

Whether someone's English is exemplary or not is hardly the issue. Do you approve of the Balkanization of the U.S. or not?

 

He apparently lives in Japan so why would he even care? Government paycheck?

 

Dem on Dem debates? It'll consist of gobble-d-gook anyway, Who needs to hear it? Which of the 21 dialects will they debate in?

 

That's nice to hear. That being said, what channel will that be on? I would like to see that debate.

Quizas el dialecto americano. Espanol en los EEUU es muy diferente del Espanol de otro paises.

 

There are Spanish speaking people who have been here since it was Mexico and don't speak English. Where are they supposed to go back to? If we didnt want Spanish speakers we shouldn't have taken over half a nation of Spanish speakers.

 

based on another thread, school teachers are having problems communicating with the 'new Spanish speaking kiddies because of dialect problems. Do you think that they've been here long enough to have adapted to the Ameican dialect?

Just in case ;
basado en otro hilo , los maestros de escuela están teniendo problemas para comunicarse con los "nuevos kiddies de habla hispana debido a problemas dialectales . ¿Cree usted que han estado aquí el tiempo suficiente para haberse adaptado al dialecto Ameican

 

no there are not........

 

Sorry their families have been here. I should have been more clear.

 

lol

its still not an excuse to no speak English by now..........

its been 150+ years now.............

 

I agree 100%. Learn english. I remember when it was a requirement to knwo english ebfore comign to the country

 

They had no need nor is there any requirement. Not to mention Puerto Ricans....

 

I believe it still is for those who immigrate legally. But for example, my mother in law is a natural born citizen who's family's been here since it was Mexico, and she doesn't speak English.

 

We both know were not talking about Puerto Rica here................

Yes there is a need to interact with the villagers.....

 

ah yea didn't think about that one. Still accomadations shouldn;t be made for those who do nto wish to learn the language, this goes for political debates, directions on packages, etc etc. english is the language of America

 

Our laws written in the english language sometimes mandate that the person's native language be used if they are not english proficient. Blame George H.W. Bush.

 

Good example. Now should it be her responsibility to learn English or the govt's and all of OUR responsibility to cater to her deficiency?

 

Agreed 100%. I have alot of respect for those who speak a foreign languange AND English......I have none for those who only speak their foreign language and expect us to accomodate them.

 

For Now!
