Why are the debating dems speaking Spanish and not Chinese

[Unkotare]

Most countries have more than one official language. I see nothing wrong with this. Who says we can only have one language in America?

We don't even have ONE official language.

Then why are naturalized citizens required to be fluent in English?

They aren't required to be "fluent." They are required to pass a rather basic threshold of English proficiency because that is part of the naturalization process. There is no official language in the United States.

Why arent they required to be proficient in Mandarin Chinese? Or Spanish?

Wouldn’t be practical.

I think the candidates should focus on learning Hebrew and referring non-stop to G-d'z chosen. that'll get more votes than anything.

 

[blackhawk]

It’s pandering but that is hardly new to politics.

Why not smoke a peace pipe and do a rain dance for the Native American vote?

Mexicans? You mean Spanish speaking citizens like those that are ethnically from maybe 20 some countries ? Like for example Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Argentina, ect...

All of that wouldn't fit into the thread title, so I had to settle with the word Mexicans.

Spanish speaking. But you like to paint brush Latinos with the same brush it seems.

is that kinda like the way you paint anyone who disagrees with you,such as non Californians or republicans?......

Conservatives clearly have no problem with exhibiting their ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, racism, and hate.

Absolutely, the Hispanics I heard from says these idiots treat them as children! They have no connection to their child like behavior. Too funny

Well rehearsed

I just can't wait to see what he does to get the gay vote.

Probably suck a dick on live tv.

Frankly, I’m just plain embarrased by the morons being propped up for the presidency.

These people are clueless to anything. The rest of the world must surely be having a laugh at us if these half-wits are the best we have to offer. I mean, really. Really reflects badly on the lack of competence of the American electorate to see, understand and address real world problems.

It is embarrassing. And when the "debates" start the media will, without any embarrassment of their own, openly admit they are looking for a "gaffe". Nothing happens in debates except you get to see a candidates abilty to avoid leaving a scripted and managed presentation and to avoid a "gaffe" that the media can run with.
And remember..the media brags they took Nixon down the first time because he "sweated under the lights".
Hell of a way to run a superpower.

On the plus side Donald Trump is immune. Every time the media thought they had a mistake and the "he is toast now" started up he just kept on winning votes from ordinary Americans (sorry Mexico).

I think the press underestimated how appealing a bigoted, lying, amoral piece of shit candidate would be to the uneducated white vote.

I love how you Trumptards deny the fact that Trump is all of those things.

Hilary? She lost.

I have known many people from many countries and I don't think I have ever met one that did not appreciate a person taking the effort to speak to them in their native language. Only about 25% of Americans are bilingual.

Their native language is irrelevant if they are a US citizen. Even the military will only take so many people who do not speak fluent English and they send them to school BEFORE training them because they can't understand what they read or hear in English.

I think the issue being raised was whether Mexicans would be insulted to have people speaking to them in Spanish. I have never known a Mexican who did. I speak a little Spanish, French, and German. I try to speak to people in their native language when I can because it's a friendly gesture.
If your point is American citizens should be able to speak English, I agree.

So you agree that pandering to illegals is OK?

So you think all people in the US that speak Spanish are illegal?

Look at it this way...the Democrats have concentrated on representing foreigners and moral degenerates for so long they are completely out of touch with Americans. This goes for the media as well. The ruling elite have lost the ability to communicate with us. I dont say they have lost influence completely. But as we both agree they have lost a lot of their ability to break a candidate they dont approve of.
So if they wanted the white vote they shouldnt have published a paper advising their candidates to ignore whites and concentrate on foreigners and blacks to break whites.

List those moral degenerates supported by Democrats.

Donald Trump? Roy Moore? David Vitter? Mike Pence?

Losing the ability to communicate with white supremacists, racists & bigots is not a bad thing. No one gires a fuck what you deplorables have to say.

And why are ballots printed in Spanish when citizens are required to know english?

Not all citizens are required to speak English.

It's pandering, placing them in a box, at the very least.

Not all citizens are required to speak English.

They should be, it's the language our founding documents, the US Constitution and all our laws are written in.

So, knowing how to read is now a requirement too?

There should be no Mexican voters.

Our laws are written in English, not German, or Chinese, or Spanish. People need to read and comprehend our laws in English, so they do not lose the meanings and context because it was lost or misunderstood thru the translation.

We have enough problem with the nine justices on the SCOTUS developing their own interpretations of the law, and they all speak and comprehend the same English language.

So who do you want putting their spin on translating our laws into a foreign language, a liberal Democrat, or a conservative Republican? They laws need to be read and understood in English.

Cultural Appropriation at it's finest. Liberals are such racists.

Probably better than wearing a red MAGA hat & mocking them.

When has that happened?
