Hablas Inglés?

The quagmire we call a Government is spiraling out of control.

Strange, isn't it...our government has a problem pursuing employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens but has no problem going after small businesses and nonprofit organizations that simply ask employees to speak English while they are on the clock!

First, liberals told us we had to give up our religion, even during Christmas and the rest of the holiday season:

No prayers in school...
No nativity scenes on the town square...
No mention of God at high school graduations...

Next they told us we had to give up love of our country:

America is racist and sexist...
America coddles the rich and exploits the poor...
America is the most dangerous nation in the world...

NOW THEY'RE DEMANDING WE GIVE UP OUR LANGUAGE!

That's right! The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is going after a Salvation Army thrift store BECAUSE IT REQUIRED EMPLOYEES TO SPEAK ENGLISH ON THE JOB! The store even gave everyone a year to learn English. Two refused and were fired.

Here's what we're heading toward:

You go into a shoe store and the clerk doesn't even know the English word for shoe.

The waiter in a restaurant can't understand what you're ordering and brings you soft-boiled eggs instead of fried chicken.

A worker in a sawmill cuts off your right arm because he doesn't know the meaning of "STOP!"

This madness is one more consequence of allowing 12-20 million illegal aliens to pour across our borders unchecked.

This time, however, somebody is saying "NO MORE! ENOUGH!"

Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) has introduced a bill that -- if passed -- would stop EEOC dead in its tracks.

His bill would "make clear that it is not against federal law for an employer to require employees to speak English on the job."

Since Congress created the EEOC, it has the authority to tell it what to do AND WHAT NOT TO DO!

How does The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rationalize speaking a foreign tongue in a privately-owned, English-speaking business? Who are they to dictate my employee's job requirements to be hired.

Ability to read, write and speak the English language to communicate with employees, customers, suppliers, in person, on the phone, and by written communications in a clear, straight-forward, and professional manner.

Must be able to work any shift and speak good English.

Is that to much to require???
