They Shouldnt Learn English, We Should Learn Spanish

The other day Obama said this: “I agree that immigrants should learn English, But instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English _ they'll learn English _ you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual. We should have every child speaking more than one language. You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is 'merci beaucoup!'" Obama said, laughing.

That is absurd for many reasons! First off, no the immigrants wont learn English! If they did, we wouldn’t have Spanish billboards, Spanish street signs, and little Spanish cities all over Phoenix. If they were learning to speak English we wouldn’t have to print a Spanish translation on the back side of every product sold in this country! The food at the grocery store, computers at Best Buy, instructions on how to put a swing set together, all have Spanish translations on it! Why would that be if the immigrants are learning English? I used to be a food server for many years and with out fail, the cooks and bussers were always Mexicans! Out of the 15 guys working back there per shift, maybe one or two of them spoke just enough broken English to translate for the rest! Why is it that you can’t talk to the guys that trim your tree or cut your grass, or wash your car, or build your house, or dig your pool?? I think that is a perfect example of how they are not learning English!

Second argument! Telling us to learn another country’s language is like the 1940’s government of France telling their people to learn how to speak German, the language of the country that is invading them! How is that any different than our current situation? It’s exactly the same! They are invading our country! It’s just a little bit slower, and they didn’t actually declare war on us! But they are bringing their weapons, drugs and culture! They are squeezing us out! “Oh we know we have a problem here, people are dying, people are being forces to flee their homes, but lets not be fighters! Lets be lovers and embrace their culture and welcome them in our homes, not all of them want to kill us!!” Great idea you freakin queer hippy!

Third argument! Why is it so embarrassing that other countries speak our language and we don’t speak theirs? We didn’t tell the French to speak our language, they learned it on their own! The least they can do is learn the language of the people who saved their asses twice! Europeans learn English because it is bifacial for them to do so. Learn the language of the most powerful country in the world so you can do business with them! If China was the dominant country in the world, we would all be speaking Chinese! How would we benefit from being forced to learn Spanish? I suppose it would help for when you want to interrogate a human or drug smuggler!

Obama is a idiot, and so is anyone who likes him!
