Question:
My question is why, when people emigrate to the states, some do not
want to learn the language. I accept that there is no official
language, but English is pretty much the dominant one. I have lived in
a couple of countries, France and Portugal, where English was not the
main language. Although the people there were very helpful at first,
they kind of expected a bit of their language from me after a while. I
got nothing but respect from them, even with my really bad attempts,
but I think I showed them that I respected them enough to learn their
language. Sure, some people treated it as a sign of stupidity not being
able to speak the language, but all in all most people respected it.
There seem to be a huge amount of people who are not interested in
integrating who have emigrated here. I work in construction and am
amazed that I can be around people all day and not hear any English.
Learning English does not mean you are American, I think it shows a
respect for where you are and the people of the country. If people are
scared of losing their identity, they are misinformed because no one
can take away your identity, you already are who you are. I learned
that when in Rome do as the Romans do is the surest way to success
wherever you go.
There are whole neighborhoods in Las Vegas where no English is spoken
and I have to say that these neighborhoods are not the safest. In
comparison a good neighborhood has mixes of all races and
nationalities, who are trying to integrate in what is already here.
They are not trying to recreate what they left behind.
I was always excited about the challenge of a new country, the food,
culture, language and humor of the people there. I would never dream of
pushing my country on them.
Answer:
hate to break the news to you, but if you are not swooning with delight
over massive illegal immigration, you are going to be called a
raaaaaacccccccciiiiiiiiissssssssstttttt
If you say you can't speak English, you will get more freebies from the
taxpayers, are more likely to get off the hook on criminal charges, can
obtain home loans and business loans without having to provide any
employment or credit history, can jump to the front of the line for any job
you want even if you have no experience in the field, and can always scream
"racism" and cash in on a lawsuit to obtain whatever you want if it is not
freely handed over immediately as soon as you make it clear you will
not/cannot speak English. You are at a disadvantage if you are an
English-speaking American in the United States and are expected to pay
upkeep on non-English speakers from their cradle to graveYou should probably just forget that you ever learned to speak English and
rely exclusively on the other languages you learned to speak. By dropping
the English speaking skills, you will open the doors to a vast ocean of
benefits that are not available to English speakers in the US, no matter how
poor your skills in other languages.
Take a good hard look at your co-workers, and observe them carefully.
Speaking English is not the only indicator of resistance to assimilation.
Besides, why bother assimilating when you are planning on the whole village
joining you within the year, as soon as you can get enough money to pay the
coyote, and hopefully before Boosh grants amnesty to foreign criminals
"I am not an American. There is nothing about me that is American. I don't
want to be an American, and I have just as much right to be here as any of
you." Thus spoke one individual identified as a "Latino activist" during a
session of the "National Conversation on American Pluralism and Identity," a
$4 million project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities
(NEH). NEH Director Sheldon Hackney reacted to this hateful outburst by
cooing, "What an American thing to say - squarely in the great tradition of
American dissent. He was affirming his American identity even as he was
denying it."
If they possessed the capacity for having an individual identity before
bouncing our border, they lose it pretty quick as soon as their feet hit US
soil. Groups like the ACLU, the SPLC, LULAC, and MALDEF waste no time in
teaching them that their skin color and ethnicity translate into special
privileges and benefits for them, while at the same time churning out huge
profits for the organizations; the race industry depends heavily on training
the freshest meat into herd thinking.
The people we so euphemistically refer to as migrants have no respect for
our borders, our laws, our history, nor much of anything else, so why would
you expect them to have any respect for speaking our language?
The really painful part about that is that respect is not given: it is
earned.
Our government has decided there are no consequences for violations against
us. So what is there to respect
What - you think that just because their third world feet hit first world
dirt, they magically morph into civilized first world citizens?
Sorry to disappoint you, but all that is happening is they are transferring
the third world to your town, with the help of our federal government and
your local governments. Las Vegas will become a feral city, as will many
other American cities which have been infested with a plague of foreign
migrants.
Nicer neighborhoods are just a few years behind on the feral curve.
Give it time, and you will begin to see more visible effects of foreign
migration spreading its tentacles to the gated communities. They will
eventually fall prey to third world momentum. It is just a matter of timeYou mean you didn't arrive in the new country with a chip on your shoulder,
with a predisposition to hating its government and citizens
