Seriously you need to think before you refute personal experiences, tyvm.
First, Know It All, unless you were at the company this happened at, don't add your conjecture. When the proverbial shit hit the fan is when the other workers found out about the illegal status of the others. So, again, you really need to keep your mouth closed unless you were there, which you were not.
Second, it seems you were personally offended by the "one language mentality". Again, you don't know what you are talking about. I grew up speaking two languages. The Lousiana and Missisippi inhabitants who are of Creole and Cajun descent are commonly bilingual. Again, you speak on a subject you know nothing about.
As an American, I am not against anyone learning a second language, but that brings a very interesting point that many native Spanish speakers do not like to have pointed out.
If learning Spanish should be seen as important, for the sake of communicating with the community, why should learning English in an English speaking country not be a paramount concern for those who are coming here?
Past immigrants had to struggle to learn English in order to push forward, but now Americans are being pushed into learning Spanish to accomodate those who do not learn the language. If all of a sudden an English speaking country were involved in a mass exodus to a country that was not English speaking, would those who entered that country really be so selfish and pompous as to expect and DEMAND the natives learn their language?
Now, since this seems to be a
personal sore spot for you, I suggest you really calm down and put your personal feelings aside before you post. Do not tell me how I think and what I do and do not understand about the job market. Don't make assumptions about me either, as they have proven to be quite wrong. As a matter of fact, I have actually studied other languages and do know how to move ahead in the corporate world, as I have been there a long time. I really do not need your advice on job security.
If you have a personal issue with what I described, join the other 6 billion or so folks on this little rock and suck it up.
Are there any other of my personal experiences you would like to rewrite for me to fit your own personal feelings? Feel free to do so.
Au revoir.
