We have an opening for a new police Chief in El Paso. The spokesperson from the Human Resources Dept. advised that one of the requirements for the person who will be selected is 'TO SPEAK SPANISH." I am outraged by this. Are any other Departments in this country experiencing this kind of discriminatory behavior?
For English, Press One.... For Spanish, MOVE BACK TO MEXICO, and Press Two!!!
That is routine in that area. I was looking for a job in there 6 or 7 yars ago and I hit that scam several times. I just said "The Hell With It" and moved back to the United States
This kind of discriminatory action has been taking place for years all across the border region. Here in SoCal (Mexifornia) teaching jobs, San Diego Gas and Electric jobs, police jobs, Medical positions, landscape, farming, manufacturing, even city positions, State Welfare office, Social Security Office ect...are either hired with "preferance to Spanish speakers" or hired with "Only Spanish speaking need apply". It has been a slow but steady conquest of territory and in reality I have to agree with jmac eventually we are squeezed out of employment and have to exit the territory.
What a hypocritical government we live under. The Salvation Army is being sued because they require OUR language to be used on the job yet all these other entities are being allowed to require a FOREIGN language to be used on the job. Some lawyer definitely needs to take this case up. Until we can get an attorney to fight back we are going to continue to lose out here in our own country.
The invaders know that the longer we delay in making English the official language of the US, the harder it becomes to pass such a proclamation. Numbers decide which language is used more frequently and numbers are on their side. If things continue as they are, language (and employment) will force English speakers to abandon certain regions and gather into enclaves within the U.S. Thus segregating and dividing the population further. One wonders if the Politicians believe that they can control the whole of the U.S. when it is divided into regions by language, culture, economics and race ?
What if for example:
the southwest spoke Spanish, was predominately Latino, on welfare or unemployed and Catholic AND the Northwest spoke English, was predominately Caucasian, employed and Protestant (just for an example, mind you). The Southwest states unable to fund social programs, infrastructure ect... and the Northwest states solvent financially. Would the Federal government enforce additional taxes on the Northwest to pay for the Southwest states financial problems ? (I understand that there are limitations to any hypotheretical discussion) Since the population of the Southwest would grow faster than the Northwest, representation would be higher from the Southwest in the Federal political arena.....would the Federal government continue to tax, adjust political boundaries, regulate business, health care, ect... in the favor of the Southwest region ? At some time in the future (in this scenerio) the Federal government (with higher representation from the Southwest) would proclam Spanish the official language of the US, would the Northwest states comply (after having a large population that had MOVED to escape a language problem, and then securing a new life beyond its reach) ?
Well, you get the idea. Just thinking of the implications of the obvious reverse discrimination that many of us are dealing with (and adding in my personal decision on how I will solve the immediate language/employment/culture problem (see below note).
