Comments on: Can an employer set conditions for staff to use only English in the workplace? http://rightvoices.com/2007/11/19/can-an-employer-set-conditions-for-staff-to-use-only-english-in-the-workplace/ in all matter of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek. While it's pretty obvious that Salma Hayek is of hispanic (Mexican) descent. Charlize Theron is from South Africa. Yes, Charlize Theron is more African than 95% of the blacks in this country because, well, she was born there. She spoke Afrikaan (a German/dutch derivative from before the Boer War) and learned English by watching "Love Boat" reruns on tv. Dad.s dad came over on the boat from Poland and had to go through Eliis Island. He didn't have the luxury of being able to speak Polish at work. He had to learn to speak English. Any foreign national who refuses to learn English in under a year should be fired. Any restaurant that doesn't insist on English speaking employees should not be frequented. I'm tired of my orders being fubar everytime I go into a fast food joint because instead of hiring Jill and Bobby, they're busy hiring Jose and Maria who don't speak English for squat.

Mine didn't..they taught themselves so that they could contribute rather than take from society. 7&8 Thanks Mark…Did our relatives receive English lessons when they got off the boat way back in the day?

He wants to provide grants for legal immigrants seeking to become citizens to learn English. I’m sorry, this is a correction for my Alexander post.

Alexander is trying to ride the fence on illegal immigration. On the one hand he says he wants to protect employers from suits forcing language accommodation but on the other he wants taxpayers to pay for English language training of illegals and his website has a Spanish option (http://www.alexander.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Spanish.Home). I don't see him as being consistent on the issue. I don't see him as setting a standard as a leader. I believe Sen. Alexander is trying to ride the fence on illegal immigration.
