words of wit from the witless orange one

"We have languages coming into our country. Nobody speaks  those languages' they're truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them."

our country has a history of foreign languages most end up learning english

"Nobody speaks them."
huh   somebody must be speaking them or it wouldn't be an issue for your deluded worm eaten brain

when I was in France you were hard pressed for them to speak English

what are the odds of your immigrant ancestors spoke English as a first language

I’m fortunate to travel internationally for work on occasion and in any major city, every hotel and nearby restaurant or other frequently visited business always has people who speak English. All the companies I had appointments with had plenty of people who spoke English. In fact, at the level of. Y contacts, I don’t recall anyone who did not speak English. My current company is based in Sweden but is international in scope and we have online English classes. English is the universal language for business and science. Blame in on Great Britain if you want but that’s the reality.

And by the way, in the Biblical story of The Tower of Babel, the reason for other languages was to force separation, to keep all people from communicating clearly with one another. Otherwise, as the good book says, “…there’s nothing they (humans) can’t accomplish”.

“…there’s nothing they (humans) can’t accomplish”. [/quote]

cure stupidity
end hate

Apparently they can’t read very well either because the point was language and therefore cultural and social differences keep us from accomplishing anything which is by design.

Here in America, we speak English
English,... was invented by.... the English, not Americans.
Nobody knew that
We speak a foreign language
Nobody knew that
Nobody

"...English language, Language belonging to the Germanic languages branch of the Indo-European language family, widely spoken on six continents. The primary language of the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and various Caribbean and Pacific island nations, it is also an official language of India, the Philippines, and many sub-Saharan African countries. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world (approximately 1.5 billion speakers), the mother tongue of more than 350 million people, and the most widely taught foreign language. English relies mainly on word order (usually subject-verb-object) to indicate relationships between words (see syntax). Written in the Latin alphabet, it is most closely related to Frisian, German, and Dutch. Its history began with the migration of the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons from Germany and Denmark to Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Norman Conquest of 1066 brought many French words into English. Greek and Latin words began to enter it in the 15th century, and Modern English is usually dated from 1500. English easily borrows words from other languages and has coined many new words to reflect advances in technology..."

Even as a right-leaning independent that is angered by illegal immigration, I call BS.  Federal law states that it is unlawful for a noncitizen to vote in federal elections and trying to vote illegally is pretty difficult to pull off.  Some states allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.  This is wrong in my opinion, but putting that aside, the main fear mongering that Democrats are somehow trying to import votes is BS.

Even if it were true, you have to look at where elections get decided - in the moderate swing states that generally aren’t overwhelmed with an illegal alien population.  Without even having an illegal immigration problem, we honestly don’t even need an election in California, New York, Texas to name a few.  Just put the CA and NY electoral votes in the Blue bucket and the TX electoral votes in the Red bucket.  You could do this with about 30+ other states.  Even if there were 10 million extra illegal votes for the Democratic candidate in California, CA was already dark blue without those illegal votes (thus a moot point).  I also think it’s pretty shallow-minded (or brainwashed) to assume and believe that all illegal aliens (if allowed to vote) would vote Democratic.  But this is the line of “thinking” and fear mongering thrown around.  They won’t admit it, but they think all people of color and/or speak a language besides English are all Democrats.  Maybe they should spend more time appealing to these people rather than squashing them.
