I am in Houston for the National Championship game. Dad played for the University of Washington so we’re here for the game.
Anyways. I have only been here for 2 days and am already tired of all the people who don’t speak english and all the advertisements for illegal immigrants. This is America not Mexico.
Had to go down to the front desk of a nice hotel just to get someone who speaks English. Enough!
I don't care if they learn English or not. The free market will be enough of a wallop if they don't. Don't give them a cell phone, 2 years to make a court date, a ticket to 'somewhere' and cash, and they will 100% quit coming.
If you're a patron of 'Channel 5 News' Andrew is doing a 3 part on-the-ground series at the wall, talking to migrants, talking to Border Patrol agents, and hot damn is it a red pill from someone I know folks on the left and right admire.
It could be argued that speaking Spanish is more important than speaking English for construction / labor jobs here in Texas. It sounds cold, but I say speak English or leave.
That's a good point I hadn't considered against my free market argument. Though, those folks who can speak both and have capital have access to cheaper (albeit illegal) labor, so it could cut both ways.
I guess don't know what folks will think having an 'Official Language' will accomplish in a practical sense. Over 40% of states have english as their official language, Texas (my home state) surprisingly doesn't.
It is amazing. We've become too lax with immigrants. If you aren't willing to integrate with our customs, then you are not welcome here in my opinion.
