Senator calls out a man who has lived in America for over 20 years why he isn't speaking English while he testifying.
On the subject of illegal immagration, I'll say this. There is a process to gain access as an American citizen. Go through the process like ever other legal immagrant to get citizenship. In America, we speak English. I KNOW there is not an official language of the United States, but we all speak english to do business and in our day to day lives.
I should not need a translator to order a flippin' Dr. Pepper. Yes this happened to me once in an Airport. My wife was prego and her gut was buggin' her so she wanted something to drink. When I asked a fast food join in the Airport for a Dr. Pepper the woman looked at me like she was puzzled, then I spoke up because I thought maybe she didn't hear me, she then looked at the man next to me and in broken english said "I do not understand." Being from Texas and having dated a hispanic girl for a number of years I know some TexMex and was able to make out what the man next to me said. He said what sounded like "Do you speak spanish?" She said yes and he looked at me and ask what I wanted, I was kind of taken aback by then and said "All i'm asking for is a Dr. Pepper." He repeated the exact same thing to her and she was like "OOOOOoohhhhhhh!" WTF is that? How do you have a job here serving people food if you don't understand them? How do you get ANY orders right? It aggrivates the crap out of me that in my own friggin' country I can't walk into a business and PAY money to have to have someone translate?
