Probably doesn't bother you because you are a self-hating white liberal who has been indoctrinated into the PC mindset.

The Dems are destroying this country in bilingual fashion. In a few more years a Ford truck will be the new status symbol.

Maybe you would to address that with the Republican governor of Texas.

Since that threat's gone away the Fright Wing's been compelled to find a new issue to monger fear over and 'illegals ' is apparently in the running as if it's somehow a new problem even though many have benefitted from cheap illegal labor for decades.

Well that has got to be the most idiotic post today. Congratulations. I am liberal. I am against the govt. using spanish language. However, I don't have a problem with FOrd advertising in spanish. Seems like a good business practice. IF you don't like Ford or Ford products, don't buy them. What has any of this to do with LIberals. Your anger (misplaced as it may be) should be directed at Ford.

All of the Spanish channels get pounded with Ford ads. I see no reason to clutter up something like the NBA finals with ads most people can't understand. Maybe if they did one in Xhosa all of the entitled spanish speakers would "get it".

No, there are no laws against it. You're not getting the point. It is what it symbolizes that is offensive.

Ok, I'm assuming you're a self-loving, other-than-white conservative who hasn't been indoctrinated by the PC
mindset, right?

Why does it bother you?

It was the greedy employers who benefited from them not most Americans. By the way, only 3% of illegal aliens are picking crops that for that there are unlimited H-2A visas for legal, foreign workers. The other 97% are doing job that Americans need and want plus sucking up our taxes and benefits. It's a lose, lose situation for most Americans.
