Guess, flyover country with 90% of more speaking English only is at a big disadvantage.
I was totally shocked when I heard this yesterday. I think it is fine to speak more than one language and to speak your native language at home is fine, as long as you have a good command of English; apparently more do not.
I have always said I don't care what language one chooses to speak at home. However, it is an indication that they have no interest in making English their primary language of usage. Just saying.
Like you wouldn't speak English to your family and friends?
I don't care what language they speak at home. The problem is that they shouldn't be here speaking any language at all. The government manufactured an immigration tidal wave to dilute the political power of the natives. That is terribly, terribly wrong.
Discovery of North America has been attributed to Christopher Columbus who spoke Spanish.
The masses have been immigrating to the mainland for 367 years.
Your Government is hard at work right now contemplating a bill to create a new Visa for up to 1 million temporary Food Workers. This bill seeks to establish a $8.34 fixed wage, less the cost o recruiting, transportation, Workers Comp, uniforms, tools and more. It is intended for agriculture, meat / seafood packing- anything related to food production.
Meh, my families second language is math. I also speak basic Spanish and so far math has paid off far better. So um, thanks for that cheap partisan shot of snobbery at those of us that live in fly-over country.
You mean like the daily numerous potshots taken at those who live on the West Coast?
I once had a very interesting conversation with a bi-lingual 9 year old girl in school. She told me that when she thinks about something it is generally in Spanish, but when she expresses those thoughts verbally it will be in English.
I suppose that is a true sign of being bi-lingual. How do you stop someone from thinking in a foreign language?

Christopher Columbus was Italian. His native language wasn't Spanish.
That is precisely why the people making those assumptions will never venture outside their bubbles. Cognitive dissonance is a helluva defense mechanism, and selection bias is the comfy pillow that helps racists sleep at night, knowing that white is white, brown is brown, and never the twain shall meet.
This topic has nothing to do with racism or skin color!
