Its about Freedom.

Whoever is here has the freedom to learn and not learn what they choose. You have the right not to like it.

I can't believe some of you are actually suggesting that people be forced to learn the English, even if they don't drive.

WTF!?

Who is going to enforce that?

You guys actually want more government?

personally i DO NOT support govt FORCING anyone to learn english. what i DO support is the govt NOT making concessions and coddling people who are unwilling to make an effort to assimilate. If you are going to drive, you need to be able to read/comprehend the language in which driving directions/signs are written. driving is a privelege, not a right.

in this case yes. i'd like the govt to do it's job, and secure our borders so that we don't have a flood of illegals in this country. Other countries do it. hell, mexico enforces it's border with guatemala so why are we so wrong to want to do it.

But that also means going after the employers who hire these people for the cheap labor. meaning fines, jail time, whatever it takes.

Well you discourage them by not printing every other document in languages other than English.
It gives them added incentive to learn.
It would actually be less government,
as we don't have to use the resources to print & interpret documents in multiple languages.
(we already don't do that with road signs, so it's just being consistent)

Realistically, that's not a position every political group endorsess.
It is a democracy after all, and votes are valuable.

With some of the 'Spanish' speakers, you might have another problem.
It's questionable whether or not they have learned Spanish well to begin with.
(this is not about 'race', but about education in one's first language)
How do you go about teaching someone a 2nd language, if they barely mastered their 1st?
I think this is partially the reason why it's so difficult for some non-english speaking ppl to learn english.

This could also be the case for other languages.
Speaking for myself, Chinese is my 1st language but I'm illiterate.
I can speak Cantonese, but can barely read or write the language.
I was fortunate enough to learn English at an earlier age, otherwise I know I'd be screwed.

!Zar!

Not knowing English and not having the legal documents to be on the road are two different things.

And with that said, last I checked San Jose, Ca had the highest amount of uninsured drivers; been quite some time since I checked.

its scary to think about non-english speaking people out there driving on the roads. if you get stopped by a police officer, and dont understand the reasoning for your stop because you no speaka english, then do you have to have an interpreter or a fully bi-lingual cop come out and lay the smack down on you in spanish, gimme a break, main language is english here, bitches need to learn it.

WISH ONE

I jus barely learning english yesterday eh....
