Had a link but I removed it because apparently it wasn't working.  It was a Fox new clip.  Lady Jane opened another thread with the same information.

Sorry, I couldn't get the video to work, but basically what it said was in Oregon, they hired a bunch of non-english speaking hispanics to fight fires, so all the Supervisors for those crews, who speak English only had to be layed off or demoted because they couldn't communicate with the firefighters!  When asked why they didn't hire english-speaking fire fighters, they had no answer for that.

Isn't that discrimination???  There has to be a lawsuit pending.

it is a sign of things to come...after this next election you will have an even more pro amnesty president then bush who is bad eneough.....the push to ram spanish down our throats is coming from all directions from children's cartoon shows to tv sit-coms produced in spanish and english to the political parties having debates in spanish .... which is really odd because to vote you are supposed to be an american citizen and to become an american citizen you are supposed to be able to read and speak english
