The surprising part is that 30% don't?? :dohRasmussen reports 70 percent of voters favor strong sanctions against employers who hire illegals. Who can argue with that large of a majority? Can we agree that if illegals could not find work,most would go home or to other countrys thereby reducing the drain on hospitals and schools and maybe I wouldn't have to punch 1 for english?
You know some people live here legally and speak Spanish right? It takes two seconds. It's not an attack on your personal liberties. Suck it up. You conservatives love marines right? You ever hear a marine complain about having to push one button on the phone? Didn't think so.
Anyway, I totally support stronger sanctions against employers. It's simple supply and demand. People come over the border because there is someone who will pay them under the table to work menial jobs. Finding illegal immigrants and deporting them just creates another job opening. Shut down the employer and that job opening goes away.
You miss the point. That point being that, in a country where citizens have historically agreed (through inaction) to speak a common language, these citizens are now forced to take action. But it goes beyond that. Corporations promote the ease of not learning the commonly spoken language by offering assitence in the immigrants language. Who pays for the extra wording on all of the home depot signs? The consumer. Now the print on everything from signs to directions for use of a product are half the size to make room for spanish instructions. Signs must be made larger or the print smaller to accomodate another language... are you getting the point yet?You know some people live here legally and speak Spanish right? It takes two seconds.

You are absolutely correct in this. :thumbs:Anyway, I totally support stronger sanctions against employers. It's simple supply and demand.

Could be but more resonably and likely that it's republicans who aren't smart enough to figure out that employers/employment is the number one reason illegals come here.Or the idiot liberals with the soft heads, clinging to trees.

I think you still DO miss the point or are too interested in an argument to examine your position. :shrug:Yes, I understand this "point" completely. You know what my response is?
Suck it up. Home depot makes signs in spanish because it helps them sell more product, they didn't do it out of the goodness of their heart. They make more money this way.
In 2009, the total number of persons naturalizing was 743,715 (see Table 1 and Figure 1). The leading countries of birth of new citizens were Mexico (111,630), India (52,889), the Philippines (38,934), the People’s Republic of China (37,130), and Vietnam (31,168).

The Home Depot operates 2,193 big-box format stores across the United States (including all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam),
I don't really understand the bold portion. It would seem you are saying that the only people who pay for the added cost is only carried by Spanish speaking people..."The consumer" pays the price? Yeah, the Spanish speaking consumer. If they don't, Spanish speakers will take their business elsewhere. Capitalism.
Obviously you don't get the point as evidenced by... well, everything you've said so far. English IS and has been the dominant language in this country ever since the English Speaking Europeans became the dominant population back in the late 1700s.Your whole point is based on some sort of assumption that English is the language this country "should" speak, to the exclusion of all others. It's a big country with a lot of different people in it.
And you "believe" this because of what information?I think you will find that even the most obtuse Republican gets the reason illegals come here, and by and large those Republicans who do hire these folk do so because they need not offer the Minimum wage, they can go lower.
But I believe that the majority of illegals are hired by Democrat party members.
Well Deuce... it doesnt sound like you have ever hung out with marines. Being one myself and currently active duty. We bitch pretty much all the time. Mainly because we are pissed off at everything and deal with more bull**** in a week then you will your whole life. If you don't think a United States Marine would bitch about illegals and how we have to push 1 for english, then you are either tweakin off a meth binge or you have never had to work with us.
Edited: Ah, okay... maybe not your whole life but you get the point.
