America Goes From Unifying English Order to Multi-babble Disorder!
The following expositions represent the systematic destruction of our unifying English language. The 'glue' that has held this country together for centuries. No matter whether you spoke, German, French, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Irish or Scottish Gaelic, etc., when you entered America you struggled to learn the English language. America's melting pot for languages became world famous.
People that came here worked to 'fit in' to become part of the dream of getting to, and becoming an American. It was something highly valued, desperately sought, a prized and desired destination. Today millions come here illegally. They do NOT want to become Americans. All they want, is what we have. They want what Americans have collectively worked for generations to achieve. They want a job to send money back to their home countries. America has been reduced to an employment agency. They disrespect our culture, society and language. They want what we have and they want it for FREE! Stupidly, with the help of our government . . . we oblige.
1. Illegals Demand AND Get Free Interpreters at Hospitals
"An immigrants' advocacy group [is that legal or illegal immigrants or both?] asked the state [of New York] . . . to take legal action [just what they need more costs to pass on to YOU!] against four metropolitan area hospitals for failing to provide interpreters for emergency patients who don't speak English well." Three of the four hospitals, which were part of the same network, disputed their claims stating: "Our hospitals freely provide community outreach, health screenings and assessments and culturally directed services [whatever that means], . . . the three hospitals together have 10,000 bilingual staff members who are listed in a language bank, . . . and 24-hour telephone interpretation service in 125 languages.(1)
You should know that when Hispanics picket those hospitals, part of their loudly announced demands ALWAYS include more bilingual staff. Read that . . . 'hire more Hispanics!' Many qualified hospital job applicants are rejected for employment because they don't speak Spanish, here, in our ENGLISH speaking country of America! Sad, but true!
"Rick Evans, director of the Volunteer & Patient Centered Services, [at Columbian Presbyterian] who oversees interpreter services . . . has seven Spanish interpreters devoted to the emergency room . . . seven others are dispatched to other departments within the hospital. . . . [They] receive nearly 300 formal requests per day for interpreters . . .90% of the requests are for Spanish speakers. . . the hospital [annually] spends $2 million for interpreter services alone [that's one reason your insurance costs so much]."(2)
The Hispanic 'gimmie' society strikes again! Instead of employing the centuries-old tradition of bringing along with them, a friend, a neighbor, a church or family member who speaks English to do the translating, they come instead with their 'informed' demands, that the law requires those services be provided to them. They often come prepared with written threats of prosecution, if they are not afforded an interpreter! Americans are offended by these 'cry-baby' Hispanics, who are balkanizing our country and insultingly maintaining their totally Spanish speaking enclaves . . . where people live for decades and never learn to speak English!
Many Hispanics never learn English because they watch Spanish language TV, listen to Spanish language radio, and read Spanish language newspapers and magazines. They receive their utility bills and phone books in Spanish. Their local stores display Spanish language signage. And recently, adding 'insult to injury,' many of the big nationwide chain stores, including Wal-Mart, Sears, Lowe's and Home Depot, etc., are pandering to these same insular Hispanics, by posting Spanish in-store signs! Do those nation-wide stores know how OFFENSIVE it is to many Americans, that our country's native language is being undermined by those very same chain stores we have been loyal to all of our lives!
"In the past several years, big U.S. consumer companies -- banks, insurers, mortgage lenders, credit-card outfits, phone carriers, and other -- have decided that a market of 11 million or so potential customers [in reality 20-23 million and perhaps more] is simply too big to ignore. It may be against the law for the Venezuelans [illegal aliens] to be in the U.S. or for an employer to hire them, but there's nothing illegal about selling to them."(3)
Of course it doesn't matter that is B>morally wrong AND in contravention of our immigration law which clearly states that such actions are 'aiding an abetting' illegal aliens. Mortgage lenders will find that providing mortgages to illegals will be considered 'harboring' illegal aliens which is a felony.
2. Montgomery and Fairfax, Virginia Co. Libraries 'Aid and Abet' Illegal Aliens
According to Parker Hamilton, director of Montgomery County Public Libraries, said: "As the country has changed, so have we" . . . In 1990 twenty-one percent of the county residents over the age of 5 spoke non-English at home. Now thirty-five percent do so today. That's according to the census bureau."(4) A census bureau that hasn't a clue about the true numbers. Everyone knows that illegal aliens DO NOT fill out census forms. Who are they kidding. Of course no one 'dares' to mention that a large majority of the 35 percent are illegal aliens. That's not politically correct, is it?
"Fairfax County Public Library Director Edwin S. Clay III said libraries historically have acted as gateways to language and culture for new arrivals. 'We've simply updated that, he said. [Translated, that means that non-English speakers learned to read and speak English as a way to assimilate, but no longer] . . . Where the suburban public library of yore was a quiet place where residents could find something to read, today it is a noisier building with a more complex [that's a code word] mission. 'We're a conduit to social services' said Lillian Snyder, who manages Gaithersberg library. She and her colleagues have helped customers [illegal aliens] contact immigration authorities and other government agencies [read public benefits here] complete online job applications and solve housing problems."(4)
Are you outraged yet? Librarians are busy illegally 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens to get jobs, get 'immigration' help, find housing, and get 'public benefits' because they do not ask for proof of legal residency. They are committing the felony of aiding and abetting illegal aliens, which comes with a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine for EACH illegal alien they help. To add to the outrage -- your tax dollars are financing them.
Montgomery County "system now employs staff members who speak Amharic, Chinese, French,Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese."(4) They now have 'collections' in Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese and plan to add French and Russian. They will spend $469,000 on foreign-language acquisitions this coming fiscal year. Why?
You did notice that they are just now adding French and Russian. Why now when those immigrants have been here forever and yet there was no 'collection' for them. Because they were expected to learn ENGLISH in order to use the library!
The United States admits about 1.2 million immigrants a year. Look around you. Do you think that all the foreigners you see are here legally? Of course not. One million people sprinkled across America would be invisible. They would be forced to assimilate and acculturate in order to survive. Instead we have 20-23 million people, perhaps even more that, here illegally. That's why you see them everywhere and everyplace, overwhelming all our public and educational facilities. So what do we do. We give the free everything. Free for them but not for you.
Wake up, America. Stop the insanity. Put your foot down and vote those 'bums' out of office that are facilitating not knowing who and how many illegal aliens are here. Demand our government put the military on the border and enforce our immigration laws! Being in the dark means you can never raise a legitimate and factual argument against the overwhelming illegal alien invasion.
3. Denver CO Public Library System Caters to Hispanics
At a time when Denver's taxpayer funded public libraries had to reduce their hours and layoff staff, they are removing English language books and replacing them with Spanish language books. The 'dirty little secret' didn't get out until patrons complained about the Spanish fotonovellas (read comic books) that depicted violent sex. NY libraries are planning workshops for 'immigrants' (legal or illegal or both?) to teach them their 'rights' and facilitate their presence here in America. Fox News reports on video about the libraries here: (5)
"Critics accused the [library] system of abandoning its duty to promote the acquisition of English reading skills by new immigrants in favor of promoting a politically correct model of linguistic segregation."(6)
In fact there is now one more reason for Hispanics and Latinos to avoid assimilation into our country's culture and language. Have we learned nothing from the failed experiment of bilingual education? It is important to realize that America's strength and greatness have been forged by the melding together of people of different religions, languages and cultures, that speak only one language, the ENGLISH language!
Special Spanish language libraries are just another example why most Americans object to massive illegal immigration that is taking place in our country today. They have begun to realize that, contrary to those founding 'melting pot' principles, the 33 million foreign nationals, 20-23 million of whom are here illegally, are not integrating and assimilating. Americans are noticing, more and more every day, and everywhere, the balkanization of their neighborhoods, communities, and nation. They believe their country is under assault by a 'human tsunami' of illegal aliens that is so overwhelming that they don't bother to assimilate! Most Americans believe that the "melting pot" is about to boil over!
Most Americans believe that our country will be destroyed if we turn it into a bilingual and bi-cultural country. Working against all that America has achieved are the pro-illegal alien, open borders crowd who will not be content until the last vestige of acculturation and assimilation has been erased.
4. "Communities Struggle to Break Down Language Barriers" . . .
"Walk into Alexandria's [VA] Department of Human Services on Mount Vernon Avenue and find the world. A poster announces in 12 languages -- from Amharic to Somali -- that free interpreter service are available. Another notes that brochures are available in 24 languages. A caseworker talks quietly in Spanish to a worried-looking woman about her electric bill. The scene is little different from waiting rooms in Arlington and Fairfax counties and Falls Church."(7)
"For years, health, police and fire departments in Northern Virginia have had to hire bilingual workers and provide translation services just to do their jobs. Now, recent initiatives are forcing every government office and agency to assess its needs and develop a comprehensive, federally mandated language access plan."(7) The 'initiatives' they speak of is Clinton's egregious stealth attack on America when he created the unconstitutional Executive Order 13166.
Are you sick and disgusted yet? Does this answer your question as to why your taxes keep going up and up? Do you have any idea about the vastness of the insanity that comes with catering to those 20-23 million illegal aliens who are overwhelming our country and its systems. Consider that this is but 'one tiny little slice from the pie!'
Jo Ann Maldonado, Alexandria's multicultural coordinator, oversees the project for the city. "We really need to know our customer base and eliminate language barriers," she said. "This is all about improving customer service." It's also about making sure that residents DON'T have to rely on children or neighbors to translate and are not dissuaded from seeking help just because they speak little English, she said."(7) Thanks to Clinton's E.O. 13166!
What's so wrong about having children or neighbors translate? Is it because it wouldn't cost anything and because then there would be no need to hire all those Hispanic bilingual staff people? Then there is the solution of deporting all those illegal aliens that broke our laws to enter America, broke our laws to stay in America and yet receive public benefits that necessitate all those translators. Insanity reigns!
"The federal government mandates that local governments receiving federal funds must offer language services [Clinton's EO 13166] for those who have limited understanding of the English language—or see that funding withdrawn. The Department of Justice ruled in recent years that failing to provide language translation constitutes a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination based on national origin."(7)
"If a community’s non-English-speaking population reaches 3,000 people or 10 percent of the total population, whichever is less, the Justice Department requires the jurisdiction to translate all documents and information into that language. Spanish is the only language in Northern Virginia that currently meets that threshold."(7)
"Federal law also requires immediate access to translation of any language; thus the phone service, which charges $1.60 a minute for common foreign languages and $3.69 a minute [of your tax dollars] for more “exotic” languages such as Bengali, Maldonado said."(7)
Where are we going in this country that such insane interpretations of our laws are creating the lunacy just described. Many laws were made when there was only a tiny percentage of non-English speaking aliens here. Now they are here illegally in the tens of millions. THAT's why Alexandria country is 'struggling' not because of having to provide such ridiculous services ON TOP of the public benefits they provide. What's wrong with this picture?
5. Oregon's Stealth Assault on American Culture and Citizenship!
In order to become an American citizen -- Immigration Law states that: "Applicants for naturalization must be 18, legally living in the U.S. for at least 5 years and must be able to read, write, speak and understand words in ordinary usage in the English language." If that is the case then WHO are the following Spanish language information brochures for? Could they be for massive infiltration of ILLEGAL ALIENS? Why does the Oregon state spend taxpayer dollars to provide the following 'short list' of Spanish Language information for illegal aliens?
The state of Oregon's Spanish language pandering of illegals includes providing them with drivers licenses and an insane menu of state sponsored help from many quarters. It is scary to think that all the road signs are in English but Oregon allows non-English speaking illegal aliens to have drivers licenses anyway. How insane is that? Ironically, the liberal-left coast state of Oregon will face ever widening multi-lingual needs for the future. Why? Read on . . .
6. In Oregon, "Indigenous languages replace Spanish in Oregon fields"
Agencies reach out to farmworkers who speak neither English nor Spanish."(9) It seems that "[i]n the past decade, many Mexican immigrants [illegal aliens] have risen from the fields and become construction workers, cooks, maids and factory workers . . . [but] someone needs to tend the crops. The solution is more illegal aliens from "Oaxaca -- Mexico's second-poorest state -- provides a significant farm labor force, according to Oregon employment and legal experts [who apparently know they are illegals but don't care]" . . . [and those from Oaxaca] who make up 75 percent of the farm labor in Oregon . . . [where] Spanish is something they learn in the fields of U.S. farms!(10)
"It is estimated that ten of thousands of people [illegal aliens] from Oaxaca now live in Oregon, and this state's demand for these workers continues." (9) "In the past five years, there has been a dramatic increase of [Mexican] Mixteco, Triqui and Zapoteco speaking indigenous workers [illegal aliens] in Oregon."(10)
"Although the U.S. Census Bureau counted 260,094 Mexicans in Oregon in 2002, the [Mexican] consulate says with the 'uncounted' -- the migrant [illegal alien] population and seasonal workers [illegal aliens] -- that total is closer to 600,000."(10)
"Pretty soon, you won't need me in this job," said Daniel Quiñones, a Spanish-speaking farmworkers representative with the Oregon Employment Department . . . Our job is to educate them [illegal aliens] that they [illegal aliens] have rights," he said. "A lot of them don't know that they have rights in the United States. . . Enforcing minimum-wage laws, workplace safety and child labor laws all are the responsibility of the state [assiduously protected and pursued on behalf of illegal aliens], Quiñones said."(9)
"In response to the phenomena, the Oregon Law Center started an outreach program three years ago. The Indigenous Farmworker Project of the Oregon Law Center employs three trilingual outreach workers to communicate with migrant [illegal alien] workers and offer legal services [for illegal aliens], said Julie Samples, an attorney with the Oregon Law Center."(9)
7. Linguistic Insanity Continues to Reign
"One initiative involved putting wage and hour laws and workplace safety information [for illegal aliens] on audio cassettes in these indigenous languages -- the best way to reach migrant workers [illegal aliens] from Oaxaca who either don't read or speak languages without a common written equivalent."(9)
"Earlier this year, the Legal Aid Services of Oregon and the Oregon Law Center received a grant [your tax dollars] from the U.S. Department of Justice Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices division and a visit from the special counsel, William J. Sanchez in recognition of these efforts."(9)
All of the above describes in detail the efforts of the state of Oregon to accommodate illegal aliens and their employers. Their work on behalf of illegal aliens is even rewarded by the United States Department of Justice. Neither of the two articles, written by Gabriela Rico, ever ONCE stated the fact that the recent Mexican 'migrants' from Oaxaca are ALL illegal aliens. Therefore, the media is also guilty of facilitating the illegal alien invasion. Sickening, isn't it? Insanity reigns!
8. Alabama Sued to Stop Multi-Lingual Driver's License Tests
"Ten states -- Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin -- currently [i.e., 2/14/05] do not require license applicants to show they are lawfully present in the United States, in effect granting licenses to illegal immigrants."(11)
Of course that will all change as a result of the REAL ID act which was passed by the U.S. Congress, but will not go into effect until 2008. Those states could continue to provide illegal aliens with driver's licenses but they cannot be used to board airplanes or enter federal buildings, etc., using them as an official ID. They can, however, issue a separate driver's license that CANNOT be used for identification purposes.
Beyond the identification discussion, bilingualism also enters into the equation. "Alabama currently makes its driver's license exams available in thirteen languages including Arabic, Russian, Thai, Greek, and Farsi, the Iranian language." However, Alabama's "policy violates the State's constitution, which was amended to make English the official language by an overwhelming 9-1 margin in a 1990 voter referendum."(12)
Twenty-seven states now have official English laws on the books. But just like the immigration laws, in Alabama the laws are not enforced. "on one hand this suit is about democracy and holding government accountable, to the people's will . . . But on the other hand it's about government officials' dereliction of their duty to protect the publics' safety for the sake of appeasing ethnic special interest groups and big business."
For seven years after the 1990 referendum, the State of Alabama abided by the official English law. Then "a Spanish-speaking immigrant [legal or illegal?] named Martha Sandoval sued charging that it violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act's ban on 'national origin' discrimination. When a federal judge ruled for Sandoval, the state went back to giving the exam in multiple languages."(13)
Alabama appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and won stating: "Alabama's policy did not violate federal civil rights law because a person's language was NOT the same as their national origin and Congress never intended otherwise." What happened next is incomprehensible . . . Alabama Governor Riley, after being part of that same winning US Supreme Court brief as a U.S. Representative, became governor in 2002, first ignored, then REFUSED requests by ProEnglish to abide by the law of 'official English.' So "five ProEnglish members in Alabama decided to take the governor to court."(13)
Now "Charles Campbell, state assistant attorney general, said last month that English is the state's 'official' language, not the 'only' language."(13) Here we go again. The will of "We the People" will again be subverted and ignored by the weasels we voted into office. The solution . . . vote them OUT of office. Pay attention Alabama voters. The implications behind the refusal to honor the voters' wishes is no small thing. It has deep ramifications.
9. Enter Big Business Support for Multilingual Driver's Tests
"The Montgomery Alabama Chamber of Commerce filed a friend-of-the-court ('amicus') brief defending the state's decision to ignore its constitutional amendment . . . [claiming] that Alabama's multilingual driver's license exams were 'essential to stay competitive in the global market.' . . . [because] English for exams would deter companies from transferring executive and high skilled employees from overseas." Well, isn't that a GOOD thing because then AMERICANS would get those jobs!(14)
Fortunately for 'We the People,' "the U.S. Business and Industrial Council (USBIC), who represents the interest of thousands of medium-sized and family-owned businesses nationwide, filed an opposing amicus brief supporting the lawsuit . . . It also cited evidence to show that drivers who could not understand English were a threat to public safety." At last, sanity reigns!(14)
9. Twisted Logic by 'Tennessee Refugee Rights Coalition'
The Coalition is advocating for the driver's test to be in MORE than the four languages the Tennessee legislature is currently trying to reduce to just English. Their rationale is that all the state's road signs are in English, representing a sensible logical move towards vehicular safety, not to mention the cost of multilingual tests and agents to give the tests. But David Lubell of the 'coalition' says: "Right now, you are dealing with refugees [illegal aliens] that can't even drive to get to their English classes because they are unable to take the tests in their language . . . adding that there is additional need for tests in Vietnamese, Laotian, Arabic and Somali [there's that Pandora's Box again] . . . the tests should be in other languages to allow immigrants and refugees a quicker entrance into American society."(15)
Wouldn't a 'quicker entrance into American society' be best achieved by learning the English language? Letting them take their driver's tests in other languages is just another way for them to avoid assimilation. Again, what is left unsaid is that MANY of those 'immigrants and refugees' are ILLEGAL ALIENS. In addition, why can't their relatives, family members, neighbors and church or 'refugee coalition' members volunteer to drive them to their English classes? The gimmie, gimmie society appears again!

3. Denver CO Public Library System Caters to Hispanics
At a time when Denver's taxpayer funded public libraries had to reduce their hours and layoff staff, they are removing English language books and replacing them with Spanish language books. The 'dirty little secret' didn't get out until patrons complained about the Spanish fotonovellas (read comic books) that depicted violent sex.

Have we learned nothing from the failed experiment of bilingual education? It is important to realize that America's strength and greatness have been forged by the melding together of people of different religions, languages and cultures, that speak only one language, the ENGLISH language!
Special Spanish language libraries are just another example why most Americans object to massive illegal immigration that is taking place in our country today. They have begun to realize that, contrary to those founding 'melting pot' principles, the 33 million foreign nationals, 20-23 million of whom are here illegally, are not integrating and assimilating. Americans are noticing, more and more every day, and everywhere, the balkanization of their neighborhoods, communities, and nation. They believe their country is under assault by a 'human tsunami' of illegal aliens that is so overwhelming that they don't bother to assimilate! Most Americans believe that the "melting pot" is about to boil over!
Most Americans believe that our country will be destroyed if we turn it into a bilingual and bi-cultural country. Working against all that America has achieved are the pro-illegal alien, open borders crowd who will not be content until the last vestige of acculturation and assimilation has been erased.
4. "Communities Struggle to Break Down Language Barriers" . . .
"Walk into Alexandria's [VA] Department of Human Services on Mount Vernon Avenue and find the world. A poster announces in 12 languages -- from Amharic to Somali -- that free interpreter service are available. Another notes that brochures are available in 24 languages. A caseworker talks quietly in Spanish to a worried-looking woman about her electric bill. The scene is little different from waiting rooms in Arlington and Fairfax counties and Falls Church."(7)
"For years, health, police and fire departments in Northern Virginia have had to hire bilingual workers and provide translation services just to do their jobs. Now, recent initiatives are forcing every government office and agency to assess its needs and develop a comprehensive, federally mandated language access plan."(7) The 'initiatives' they speak of is Clinton's egregious stealth attack on America when he created the unconstitutional Executive Order 13166.
Are you sick and disgusted yet? Does this answer your question as to why your taxes keep going up and up? Do you have any idea about the vastness of the insanity that comes with catering to those 20-23 million illegal aliens who are overwhelming our country and its systems. Consider that this is but 'one tiny little slice from the pie!'
Jo Ann Maldonado, Alexandria's multicultural coordinator, oversees the project for the city. "We really need to know our customer base and eliminate language barriers," she said. "This is all about improving customer service." It's also about making sure that residents DON'T have to rely on children or neighbors to translate and are not dissuaded from seeking help just because they speak little English, she said."(7) Thanks to Clinton's E.O. 13166!
What's so wrong about having children or neighbors translate? Is it because it wouldn't cost anything and because then there would be no need to hire all those Hispanic bilingual staff people? Then there is the solution of deporting all those illegal aliens that broke our laws to enter America, broke our laws to stay in America and yet receive public benefits that necessitate all those translators. Insanity reigns!
"The federal government mandates that local governments receiving federal funds must offer language services [Clinton's EO 13166] for those who have limited understanding of the English language—or see that funding withdrawn. The Department of Justice ruled in recent years that failing to provide language translation constitutes a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination based on national origin."(7)
"If a community’s non-English-speaking population reaches 3,000 people or 10 percent of the total population, whichever is less, the Justice Department requires the jurisdiction to translate all documents and information into that language. Spanish is the only language in Northern Virginia that currently meets that threshold."(7)
"Federal law also requires immediate access to translation of any language; thus the phone service, which charges $1.60 a minute for common foreign languages and $3.69 a minute [of your tax dollars] for more “exotic” languages such as Bengali, Maldonado said."(7)
Where are we going in this country that such insane interpretations of our laws are creating the lunacy just described. Many laws were made when there was only a tiny percentage of non-English speaking aliens here. Now they are here illegally in the tens of millions. THAT's why Alexandria country is 'struggling' not because of having to provide such ridiculous services ON TOP of the public benefits they provide. What's wrong with this picture?
5. Oregon's Stealth Assault on American Culture and Citizenship!
In order to become an American citizen -- Immigration Law states that: "Applicants for naturalization must be 18, legally living in the U.S. for at least 5 years and must be able to read, write, speak and understand words in ordinary usage in the English language." If that is the case then WHO are the following Spanish language information brochures for? Could they be for massive infiltration of ILLEGAL ALIENS? Why does the Oregon state spend taxpayer dollars to provide the following 'short list' of Spanish Language information for illegal aliens?

The state of Oregon's Spanish language pandering of illegals includes providing them with drivers licenses and an insane menu of state sponsored help from many quarters. It is scary to think that all the road signs are in English but Oregon allows non-English speaking illegal aliens to have drivers licenses anyway. How insane is that? Ironically, the liberal-left coast state of Oregon will face ever widening multi-lingual needs for the future. Why? Read on . . .
6. In Oregon, "Indigenous languages replace Spanish in Oregon fields"
Agencies reach out to farmworkers who speak neither English nor Spanish."(9) It seems that "[i]n the past decade, many Mexican immigrants [illegal aliens] have risen from the fields and become construction workers, cooks, maids and factory workers . . . [but] someone needs to tend the crops. The solution is more illegal aliens from "Oaxaca -- Mexico's second-poorest state -- provides a significant farm labor force, according to Oregon employment and legal experts [who apparently know they are illegals but don't care]" . . . [and those from Oaxaca] who make up 75 percent of the farm labor in Oregon . . . [where] Spanish is something they learn in the fields of U.S. farms!(10)
"It is estimated that ten of thousands of people [illegal aliens] from Oaxaca now live in Oregon, and this state's demand for these workers continues." (9) "In the past five years, there has been a dramatic increase of [Mexican] Mixteco, Triqui and Zapoteco speaking indigenous workers [illegal aliens] in Oregon."(10)
"Although the U.S. Census Bureau counted 260,094 Mexicans in Oregon in 2002, the [Mexican] consulate says with the 'uncounted' -- the migrant [illegal alien] population and seasonal workers [illegal aliens] -- that total is closer to 600,000."(10)
"Pretty soon, you won't need me in this job," said Daniel Quiñones, a Spanish-speaking farmworkers representative with the Oregon Employment Department . . . Our job is to educate them [illegal aliens] that they [illegal aliens] have rights," he said. "A lot of them don't know that they have rights in the United States. . . Enforcing minimum-wage laws, workplace safety and child labor laws all are the responsibility of the state [assiduously protected and pursued on behalf of illegal aliens], Quiñones said."(9)
"In response to the phenomena, the Oregon Law Center started an outreach program three years ago. The Indigenous Farmworker Project of the Oregon Law Center employs three trilingual outreach workers to communicate with migrant [illegal alien] workers and offer legal services [for illegal aliens], said Julie Samples, an attorney with the Oregon Law Center."(9)
7. Linguistic Insanity Continues to Reign
"One initiative involved putting wage and hour laws and workplace safety information [for illegal aliens] on audio cassettes in these indigenous languages -- the best way to reach migrant workers [illegal aliens] from Oaxaca who either don't read or speak languages without a common written equivalent."(9)
"Earlier this year, the Legal Aid Services of Oregon and the Oregon Law Center received a grant [your tax dollars] from the U.S. Department of Justice Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices division and a visit from the special counsel, William J. Sanchez in recognition of these efforts."(9)
All of the above describes in detail the efforts of the state of Oregon to accommodate illegal aliens and their employers. Their work on behalf of illegal aliens is even rewarded by the United States Department of Justice. Neither of the two articles, written by Gabriela Rico, ever ONCE stated the fact that the recent Mexican 'migrants' from Oaxaca are ALL illegal aliens. Therefore, the media is also guilty of facilitating the illegal alien invasion. Sickening, isn't it? Insanity reigns!
8. Alabama Sued to Stop Multi-Lingual Driver's License Tests
"Ten states -- Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin -- currently [i.e., 2/14/05] do not require license applicants to show they are lawfully present in the United States, in effect granting licenses to illegal immigrants."(11)
Of course that will all change as a result of the REAL ID act which was passed by the U.S. Congress, but will not go into effect until 2008. Those states could continue to provide illegal aliens with driver's licenses but they cannot be used to board airplanes or enter federal buildings, etc., using them as an official ID. They can, however, issue a separate driver's license that CANNOT be used for identification purposes.
Beyond the identification discussion, bilingualism also enters into the equation. "Alabama currently makes its driver's license exams available in thirteen languages including Arabic, Russian, Thai, Greek, and Farsi, the Iranian language." However, Alabama's "policy violates the State's constitution, which was amended to make English the official language by an overwhelming 9-1 margin in a 1990 voter referendum."(12)
Twenty-seven states now have official English laws on the books. But just like the immigration laws, in Alabama the laws are not enforced. "on one hand this suit is about democracy and holding government accountable, to the people's will . . . But on the other hand it's about government officials' dereliction of their duty to protect the publics' safety for the sake of appeasing ethnic special interest groups and big business."
For seven years after the 1990 referendum, the State of Alabama abided by the official English law. Then "a Spanish-speaking immigrant [legal or illegal?] named Martha Sandoval sued charging that it violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act's ban on 'national origin' discrimination. When a federal judge ruled for Sandoval, the state went back to giving the exam in multiple languages."(13)
Alabama appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and won stating: "Alabama's policy did not violate federal civil rights law because a person's language was NOT the same as their national origin and Congress never intended otherwise." What happened next is incomprehensible . . . Alabama Governor Riley, after being part of that same winning US Supreme Court brief as a U.S. Representative, became governor in 2002, first ignored, then REFUSED requests by ProEnglish to abide by the law of 'official English.' So "five ProEnglish members in Alabama decided to take the governor to court."(13)
Now "Charles Campbell, state assistant attorney general, said last month that English is the state's 'official' language, not the 'only' language."(13) Here we go again. The will of "We the People" will again be subverted and ignored by the weasels we voted into office. The solution . . . vote them OUT of office. Pay attention Alabama voters. The implications behind the refusal to honor the voters' wishes is no small thing. It has deep ramifications.
9. Enter Big Business Support for Multilingual Driver's Tests
"The Montgomery Alabama Chamber of Commerce filed a friend-of-the-court ('amicus') brief defending the state's decision to ignore its constitutional amendment . . . [claiming] that Alabama's multilingual driver's license exams were 'essential to stay competitive in the global market.' . . . [because] English for exams would deter companies from transferring executive and high skilled employees from overseas." Well, isn't that a GOOD thing because then AMERICANS would get those jobs!(14)
Fortunately for 'We the People,' "the U.S. Business and Industrial Council (USBIC), who represents the interest of thousands of medium-sized and family-owned businesses nationwide, filed an opposing amicus brief supporting the lawsuit . . . It also cited evidence to show that drivers who could not understand English were a threat to public safety." At last, sanity reigns!(14)
9. Twisted Logic by 'Tennessee Refugee Rights Coalition'
The Coalition is advocating for the driver's test to be in MORE than the four languages the Tennessee legislature is currently trying to reduce to just English. Their rationale is that all the state's road signs are in English, representing a sensible logical move towards vehicular safety, not to mention the cost of multilingual tests and agents to give the tests. But David Lubell of the 'coalition' says: "Right now, you are dealing with refugees [illegal aliens] that can't even drive to get to their English classes because they are unable to take the tests in their language . . . adding that there is additional need for tests in Vietnamese, Laotian, Arabic and Somali [there's that Pandora's Box again] . . . the tests should be in other languages to allow immigrants and refugees a quicker entrance into American society."(15)
Wouldn't a 'quicker entrance into American society' be best achieved by learning the English language? Letting them take their driver's tests in other languages is just another way for them to avoid assimilation. Again, what is left unsaid is that MANY of those 'immigrants and refugees' are ILLEGAL ALIENS. In addition, why can't their relatives, family members, neighbors and church or 'refugee coalition' members volunteer to drive them to their English classes? The gimmie, gimmie society appears again!
