IMO, i would not like to see people poor, but i was always taught to not give ppl the fish but teach them how to fish (good ol' southern philosophy) i understand the problems people here fere....more people to go on wellfare....and it's true a lot do end up on wellfare, but those are mostly the younger generation who have kids very young and get on assistance (i live in a HEAVILY Hispanic populated area) i am living in the land of Tyson, joking, where its true that plenty are on assistance like food stamps etc, which like cuts the quota for that state, etc, also the language deal, if i was to go live over there i would be expected to know there language, i have traveled to many places and i always try to know the languages or be with someone who knows it more than i. i know 3 languages other than English, but i dont know Spanish (although if i did i WOULD GET SO MUCH MORE MONEY AT MY JOB) and it does get on my nerves that a person less qualified gets the job just b/c they know spanish. Its true that the common thought amongst ppl of other nations is that Americans refuse to speak other languages and expects everyone to speak English, but it doesnt work that way, but i do agree if u come here to live or work then do learn the language...or atleast dont pretend like you dont the language just to get away with stuff, i work in the bank world and i have to deal with that alll day.
about the school, like i said i like in a moderate-heavy populated hispanic community, (comapred to the rest of my state), and the problem isnt forcing them to learn four years of language....believe it or not it helps you in developing better learning skills, and helps you in other areas, but the problem at least in my area is that there has to be a translater in each class room and the teacher has to talk and then stop for the translation and the English speaking children are having a hard trouble keeping up....as well as the hispanic b/c things get disrupted and the flow of learning is broken...the classes are full as it is then they want to cram in Hispanic students and then pause everything for translations also, not including having to pay for this....out of taxes etc......so we are hit with more taxes...for wellfare, foodstamps...schools etc..... but what is the solution....the human rights ppl dont want to see ppl hungry and poor.....the people who work hard just to have 1/3 of their paycheck taken for fed taxes alone......wheres the middle ground? i heard that they are allowing a limitless immigration of Mexicans into america,...dont know if its true, but the thing that makes me mad is that the US puts quotas on other nations...like only 2,000 Indians, or 3,000 Bangledeshis...etc etc can come in this year.......once the qota is full the doors are shut. i just dont understand why they let them be limitless if its true and then still have soo many illegal aliens....i also heard that they are goiing to make the illegals get licenses......hmmmmm i guess thats good cus some of them come here work buy cars and it seems like they havent droven a car in there whole lives (yet so do i
) but really, there does have to be a line drawn. also i am a logistics grad.....and the talk is all about opening up the borders for mexican truckers and trucking companies.....under NAFTA it was suppose to be that way.....presently they come one mile in and dump the load and turn back.......but the problem is that the Mexican trucks, drivers, and companies do not come close to our regulations and specs....i just cant imagine seeing the trucks and the drivers i seen in mexico over here on our streets, some of our drivers are bad enough......but we are having a bad time keeping truck drivers so allowing them to come here would seem like a great solution....either way.....
good side to the whole situation is that lot of the older Hispanic population work hard and send there money home to help families, they do not go on assistance, and there is "cheap" labor even though they arent so cheap any more......at least not here.... its a tangled up situation all over.....just like all the other issues that us Americans have to toggle about with......
